How does Zoning change?
The zoning on a specific piece of property can change only through a public hearing process. This process allows public participation from the applicant, interested citizens, and decision makers. The process requires public notification, public hearings, and final approval by the City Council. An applicant may seek a change to establish a use not permitted in the current zoning district. The applicant may use the zoning process to request rezoning to a district that will permit the use outright, with conditions, or by a Specific Use Permit. A Conditional Use for a property may be allowed in a district subject to meeting certain requirements set for this zoning chapter. Special Exceptions Permits are permitted exclusively by specific permit approval by the Zoning Board of Adjustment.
