How many units can a lot hold in ROS?
Applying the district's lot-area and density rules (the stricter one wins) to typical lot sizes:
| Lot size | Max units | Rule that limits it |
|---|---|---|
| 5,000 sq ft | 1 | lot 5,000 sqft is under the 65,340 sqft minimum (nonconforming) |
| 7,500 sq ft | 1 | lot 7,500 sqft is under the 65,340 sqft minimum (nonconforming) |
| 10,000 sq ft | 1 | lot 10,000 sqft is under the 65,340 sqft minimum (nonconforming) |
| 15,000 sq ft | 1 | lot 15,000 sqft is under the 65,340 sqft minimum (nonconforming) |
| 21,780 sq ft (½ acre) | 1 | lot 21,780 sqft is under the 65,340 sqft minimum (nonconforming) |
Multi-unit numbers only matter where duplexes or multi-family are allowed above. In Jacksonville the Future Land Use Map category can cap density further, and overlays (Riverside/Avondale, San Marco, Springfield and others) can change the numbers.
Notes from the code
Lot 100 ft / 65,340 sq ft; coverage 10% (§656.334.A.I(d),(e)). §656.334.A.I(g) says 'Minimum height of structures. 35 feet.' This is almost certainly a drafting error for 'maximum'; recorded as max 35 ft, verify before relying on it.
Compiled from the official code text (§656.334). Zoning changes by ordinance and parcels can be rezoned — confirm on the official zoning map and with Jacksonville planning staff before you rely on it. Not legal advice.
