Planning allows the County to look into its future and plan for its population, employment, infrastructure, social, and cultural growth based upon community visions, population projections, past development trends, and State growth management rules specific to Florida. An important part of planning is assessing what we have done in the past and determining success or failure and how to proceed.
The Planning and Zoning Division also reviews all land use applications, including Comprehensive Plan Amendments, Re-zoning, Variances, Special Use Permits, and Planned Unit Development for consistency with the Comprehensive Plan, Land Development Code, and Ponte Vedra Zoning District Regulations.
The purpose of the Comprehensive Plan is to effectively manage growth and development by designating areas of anticipated future development which satisfy demand where feasible, in a cost-efficient and environmentally acceptable manner.
