This map depicts zoning for unincorporated lands in St. Johns County.

This dataset contains polygons representing zoning classifications (districts) for all of the unincorporated land in St. Johns County. The zoning layer is used by various county departments to assist in the review of future developments, and the regulation/enforcement of land development codes for St. Johns County, Florida. The zoning layer is accessed by all St. Johns County departments for viewing, analysis, and map production. It is also viewable by the public through various online applications.

This map depicts zoning for unincorporated lands in the southwest quadrant of St. Johns County.

A Geographic Information System (GIS) shapefile and summary tables of the extent of irrigated agricultural land-use are provided for eleven counties fully or partially within the St. Johns River Water Management District (full-county extents of: Brevard, Clay, Duval, Flagler, Indian River, Nassau, Osceola, Putnam, Seminole, St. Johns, and Volusia counties). These files were compiled through a cooperative project between the U.S. Geological Survey and the Florida Department of Agriculture and Consumer Services, Office of Agricultural Water Policy. Information provided in the shapefile includes the location of irrigated lands that were verified during field surveying that started in November 2022 and concluded in August 2023. Field data collected were crop type, irrigation system type, and primary water source used. A map image of the shapefile is also provided. Previously published estimates of irrigation acreage for years since 1987 are included in summary tables.

The St. Johns County Board of County Commissioners maintains this map to enhance public access to information about new zoning, comprehensive plan amendment applications, and various overlay districts under review by the Architectural Review Committees, Planning and Zoning Agency or County Commission. This is a service that is continually being updated since many of the cases are still under review. While we try to keep the information timely and accurate, we make no guarantees. Users should be aware that the information available on this map may not reflect the final position of the Growth Management Department or the official position of St. Johns County.

The Future Land Use Map is composed of land use designations grouped in a way that allows for sustainable developmental growth patterns.

FLU Goal - To create an environment within the City and adjacent areas in which its residents have the opportunity to maximize the potential for economic benefit, and the enjoyment of natural resources, while minimizing the threat to health, safety and welfare posed by hazards, nuisances, incompatible land uses, and environmental degradation. FLU Objective 1 - The Future Land Use Map and subsequent amendments to it shall be adopted and implemented in a manner consistent with topography, soil conditions, and the availability of facilities and services to support such development. The measurable targets for this objective are: (1) the number of development proposals reviewed for compliance with the Future Land Use Plan as implemented by the city's development regulations contained in the City Code; and (2) approval of large scale comprehensive plan amendments by DCA, and adoption of small scale comprehensive plan amendments by the City according to the requirements contained in the Rules and Florida Statutes, and consistent with the adopted Comprehensive Plan

Land cover and land use in the St. Johns River Water Management District based on 2013-2016 digital orthophotography. This layer is a copy of the 2009 lulc dataset, with updates based on conditions in the 2013-2016 orthophotography. The previous Photointerpretation Key was also revised and updated for this project.Source imagery is county imagery flown primarily by FDOT, at varying dates . The 2014 map used the below imagery:Year Flight Season Counties2013 (Dec 2012 –Mar 2013) Duval2014 (Dec 2013 –Mar 2014) Alachua, Baker, Bradford, Clay, Flagler, Lake, Marion, Nassau, Osceola, Polk, Putnam, St. Johns2015 (Dec 2014 –Mar 2015) Brevard, Indian River, Okeechobee, Seminole, Volusia2016 (Dec 2015 –Mar 2016) OrangeNOTE: Mapping convention made for Marion/Alachua counties. Imagery Dates: Alachua - December 2013 - January 2014; Marion - March 2014 -April 2014. Implications for land cover mapping: We experienced a wetter than average winter, and significant rain fell between Alachua and Marion flight dates. Orange Lake looked very different in areas where the two county imagery datasets overlapped (higher water levels in Marion imagery). We decided on the following mapping convention: always map according to the Marion imagery where it exists.The 2014 data is mapped to the extent of the previous update in 2009 as far as available imagery allowed. There is data to the east of Nassau County (outside our District and Water Basin boundaries) where no imagery was available. The 2014 data extends beyond its previous limit in a few small areas to fulfill an internal staff request.It continues the historical practice of mapping the portion of the Ocklawaha River Basin in Polk County that was transferred to the Southwest Florida Water Management District.NOTE: June 2018 Changes to Dataset:The 2014 dataset was modified in June 2018 based on results from an Accuracy Assessment, These edits changed net acreage counts for some classes as follows:ACREAGE INCREASES: Class 3300 +2.77 ac / Class 4200 +5.12 ac / Class 5200 +7,254.66 ac / Class 5300 +174,082.38 ac / Class 8350 +122.27 acACREAGE DECREASES: Class 1750 -16.64 ac / Class 2110 -100.00 ac / Class 4110 -3.63 ac / Class 4210 -2.00 ac / Class 5100 -181,337.04 / Class 7400 -7.90 ac
