Permitting The administration of the City's Zoning and Land Development Code is accomplished through the review and permitting process. Planning and Zoning currently reviews and issues permits or recommendations on the following:
Please see the March 8, 2007 letter regarding Development Application deadlines and submittal requirements. Application Requirement Letter.pdf Through inter-local agreement, the City utilizes the Putnam County Building Department for all building permit needs. The permitting process is therefore a two-step process, with the first being City approval for zoning conformance and the second being County Building Department approval for construction. The Putnam County Building Department's website may be accessed at the following link: http://www1.putnam-fl.com/live/bldg.asp . Most residential construction activities can be addressed with a Zoning / Setback Letter from the City and the appropriate permit from the County. Please feel free to contact Crescent City Planning and Zoning at (386) 698-2525 should you need further information regarding permitting.

The City's LDC is divided into eight chapters which address the following subjects:

Architectural and Site Guidelines Building and Exciting Vision for the Future based on Community Consensus and Heritage The Planning and Zoning Department is pleased to present Architectural and Site Development Guidelines which were developed with the Public, Planning and Zoning Commission and City Commission. These guidelines and codes establish the quality and appearance of development and re-development that will occur within the City. The guidelines and codes address Commercial, Institutional, Office, Multi-Family / Condominium, Mixed Use development and Sign standards. The Guidelines and Sign Code are available for download and review in PDF format at the following links:
At the February 15, 2006 Planning and Zoning Commission meeting, the P&Z Commission moved to recommend the draft guidelines and draft sign code to the City Commission for consideration and inclusion into the City's Land Development Code. At the June 8, 2006 regular City Commission meeting the City Commission approved Ordinance #06-03 adopting the Architectural and Site Standards, and approved Ordinance #06-04 adopting the revised Sign Code. These elements are now official requirements for development and re-development within the City. They will be included in the City's Land Development Code at the next codification. If you have immediate questions or comments concerning the Architectural and Site Guidelines, please feel free to contact the City at (386) 698-2525. Planning & Zoning Commission The City's Planning and Zoning Commission meets the second Tuesday of every month at 6:00 PM in the City Hall Commission Chambers which is located at 3 N. Summit Street. These meetings are open to the public and you are invited to attend. The Planning and Zoning Commission is comprised of five regular members and one alternate.
