Zoning Amendments

Zoning amendments are formal changes to local zoning laws that regulate how land and buildings can be used within a community. These amendments may modify existing boundaries, land use regulations, or zoning categories to address new developments, planning goals, or community needs. They ensure the zoning code remains relevant and effective in guiding growth, preserving neighborhoods, and supporting economic development. The process typically involves public notices, hearings, and approval by local authorities to maintain transparency and community input in shaping land use policies.
