What is the process for changing the zoning of a property in Kenton County?
A request for a Map Amendment (zone change) is required in such cases where development which is proposed on a site is not consistent with the current zoning. Requests may originate from the property owner (or agent), the planning commission or the legislative body. Complete applications are submitted to the staff of the Northern Kentucky Area Planning Commission for review and recommendation to the Kenton County Planning Commission, which holds at least one public hearing following public notice. Findings of fact and recommendation including a summary of evidence and testimony are then sent to the legislative body for final action to be taken on the request. Approximately four to six months should be anticipated to complete the Map Amendment process. More information can be found here.
