How does rezoning worsen sprawl?

The rezoning of agricultural/conservation land worsens sprawl because it allows land that is dedicated to low-density development to be used for higher density development. Therefore, more building occurs than would be allowed under current zoning laws. By refusing to rezone agricultural/conservation land, a community protects itself from overdevelopment and sprawl.
