Rezoning

Rezoning is the legal process of changing the zoning classification of a piece of land. Zoning laws determine how land can be used, such as for residential, commercial, or industrial purposes. When a property owner or a municipality seeks to rezone an area, it typically involves public hearings and assessments to consider the potential impacts on the community. This process allows for flexibility in land use to accommodate growth, development, or changes in community needs, while ensuring that such changes align with local planning objectives and regulations.
