Why is Rezoning needed?
The rezoning of a parcel may be required if the owner wishes to utilize the property for a use that is not permitted in the current zoning classification, but is permitted in another zoning classification. In this case, the owner may apply for rezoning OR apply for a use variance from the Board of Zoning Appeals to operate the specific business at this location.
