Design Guidelines

All real property within the City is subject to a variety of regulations. Depending on your property’s location, it may be subject to additional design review approval by the Historic Architectural Review Board (HARB) or Corridor Review Committee (CRC) for redevelopment projects. There are two major sets of design guidelines used in St. Augustine to review applications for compatibility with the City's historic core and Entry Corridors.

The Architectural Guidelines for Historic Preservation (PDF) are applied to new development and redevelopment projects located within a Historic Preservation Zoning district (HP-1, HP-2, HP-3, HP-4, HP-5) or facing HP-1, HP-2, or HP-3.

Design Standards for Entry Corridors

The Design Standards for Entry Corridors are applied to new development and redevelopment projects located along Anastasia Boulevard, King Street, and San Marco Avenue.
