Rezoning

**Rezoning**

Rezoning refers to the process of changing the designated use or classification of a specific parcel of land or property within a municipality. This can involve altering zoning laws or land-use regulations to allow for different types of development, such as transitioning from residential to commercial use, increasing density, or enabling new construction projects. Rezoning is typically overseen by local government planning departments and requires community input, public hearings, and approval from zoning boards or city councils. Understanding rezoning is essential for property owners, developers, and residents involved in urban planning, real estate development, or neighborhood revitalization.
