Rezoning refers to a process in which the zoning classification of a particular piece of land or property is changed. This can involve changing from one type of zoning, such as residential or commercial, to another type of zoning. Rezoning may be requested by a property owner for various reasons, including wanting to develop their property differently than its current designated use allows, or it may be initiated by the local government if they want to change the land use in a certain area. The rezoning process typically involves public hearings and input from neighbors before a decision is made by the appropriate authorities.
