What is Rezoning?

What is rezoning?

Rezoning is a process where a property owner requests that the local jurisdiction removes the existing zoning designation from a property and assigns a new designation.

What are some examples of a rezoning request?

The most obvious examples would include rezoning a property from Agricultural to Residential or Residential to Commerical. However, there are far more nuanced examples as well such as a change from a C1 to C2.

Why would someone rezone a property?

To change the land use, from agricultural to residential for example. In more nuanced circumstances, a property owner may want to change from one type of residential zoning designation to another residential zoning designation to allow for more dwelling units on the same property.

What makes a good rezoning candidate?

• The new zoning designation allows for a use that has demonstrated demand.
• The subject property is located adjacent to the same or very similar zone in which you are requesting a change to.

• The new zone helps the jurisdiction address a need in the community such as high-density housing in areas with low housing supply.
