What is the rezoning process?
1. Obtain applications in the Planning Department, 3rd floor, One Exchange Plaza(516-2626) or download now. The filing fee for a General Use rezoning is $514. For a Conditional Use rezoning, the filing fee is $1028. Make sure the application is completed and signed. Submit by the rezoning request deadline! 2. Once an application is filed, no permit will be issued, nor site plan reviewed unless it conforms to both the existing and proposed zoning, until the case is acted upon by City Council. Once the case is formally accepted and advertisement for public hearing has been prepared (usually about 6 weeks before the hearing), the case cannot be withdrawn, but must be acted upon by City Council. 3. Once an application is filed, the rezoning case must proceed to the next regularly scheduled public hearing or be withdrawn the Monday proceeding 5 weeks prior to the date of the public hearing. The rezoning case may not be “held” or “deferred” for a future public hearing date. 4. Citizen Notifi
