Rezoning • Zoning is the legal body of rules that cities create to regulate how land is developed and used. • There are several areas of the city where existing zoning is inconsistent with the Comprehensive Land Use Plan. • Over the next year, the City will be reviewing those areas closely to determine if they need to be rezoned.
