Property Rezoning

Rezoning Process

Rezoning refers to changing the regulations that govern how properties and structures may be used.  This can occur through: 

• A comprehensive revision or modification of the zoning text and map
• A text change to zoning requirements
• A change in the boundaries of zoning districts as shown on the official zoning map

To explore current zoning districts, visit the Zoning page.  You can also view applicable standards in the Code Provisions and locate specific properties using the Zoning Map.

Rezoning Procedure

Rezoning follows a formal process outlined in State Code Provisions, which includes:

• Review and recommendation by the  Planning and Zoning Commission 
• A public hearing 
• Three ordinance readings by the City Council 
• Final approval by City Council

This process takes approximately three (3) months from start to finish. 

To begin, visit Zoning Change Application page.
