REZONING GUIDE

Last updated: October 16, 2019

Process Steps

uComplete a pre-application review

• A pre-application review meeting is a required step and must be completed prior to submitting an application for a rezoning. There is no fee.

• The customer researches the property’s current zoning as well as a zone district(s) he or she would potentially seek in a rezoning.

• The customer completes and submits the Pre-Application Review Request form by e-mail to Community Planning and Development. Upon receipt of the form, a case manager will be assigned to the application.

• If the site is over 5 acres the Large Development Review (LDR) process may be required. To determine whether LDR is required, the applicant should submit a proj-ect application form to Development Services. The pre-application meeting for the potential LDR will be held prior to the rezoning pre-application meeting.

• The case manager will contact the customer to schedule the pre-application meet-ing, and it will generally occur within two weeks of submitting the request.

• At the pre-application meeting, the customer and case manager will discuss the request and the rezoning process.

vConduct informal public outreach

• The customer should make contact with the affected community (e.g. adjacent property owners, registered neighborhood organizations, and other stakeholders) to familiarize them with the proposal and identify any potential issues.

• The customer may also find it beneficial to touch base with the applicable City Council Member. After an application is submitted, the Council Member is in a “quasi-judicial” role and can advise the rezoning applicant only on the process but not on the content.

• The customer should continue public outreach throughout the entire rezoning process to keep the community informed.
