Whats the process to rezone a property?
Rezoning is when City Council approves your request to change the zoning of a parcel in order to change the use of the property. In some cases, rezoning will allow you to increase the number of dwelling units (or homes) from what the original zoning allowed. From the date of application to final City Council action on the matter, the rezoning process generally takes from 4-6 months. Application fees vary, depending on the requested zoning district and acreage of the site. A formal pre-application meeting is required for all rezoning requests unless determined otherwise by senior staff. The purpose of this meeting is to review the rezoning procedures and submittal requirements and assist the applicant in filing complete applications. This meeting is free of charge and requires the submittal of a site plan, area map, aerial photo, and completed pre-application request form. Please refer to the Rezoning and Special Permit Procedures Outline for detailed information on the rezoning process
