Developers and builders can follow the steps below for more information regarding Future Land Use and Lot Types.  Please note the City of Eustis does not have zoning districts. The City regulates and approves land use activities in accordance with the Future Land Use Map designations in the Comprehensive Plan and the Land Development Regulation.

Here's How It Works: Start Here!

Click on the following link to use a map showing Future Land Use Districts for properties. www.lcgis.maps.arcgis.com
*Please confirm your Future Land Use District by contacting planner@eustis.org as the Lake County map may contain outdated district labels*

Click on the blue Continue button to enter the map. Type the address into the blue search field at the top of the page, then hit the enter key or search icon to locate that address. The property will be shown with a color and corresponding two or three letter symbol. That symbol indicates your Future Land Use District. 

Go to the Future Land Use District tab below to find the particular flyer for that specific Future Land Use. The flyer should give you more details on that particular district including the allowed uses and those uses which will need City Commission approval.
