Rezoning. What is it?

Every parcel of land within the City's zoning jurisdiction has an assigned zoning district. Each zoning district has a specific set of zoning regulations (rules) that determine how parcels of land may be used. When a property owner is considering utilizing their property in ways that do not conform to their current zoning district regulations, they must fill out an application to change to their zoning classification. This process is commonly referred to as a rezoning.
