 Rezoning

Rezoning
Q: How do I rezone my property?

A: The Planning Services Department handles rezoning cases for the unincorporated areas of Cabarrus County, the Town of Mt. Pleasant and the Town of Harrisburg. The process begins by submitting a rezoning application and paying the necessary fee. Once submitted the application will be reviewed and a staff recommendation will be made. This recommendation will be presented to the appropriate board for consideration. Normally the rezoning process takes one to three months, however, processing time varies by jurisdiction. Application Deadlines

For more detailed information regarding fees, processes or applications please contact the Planning Services department at (704)920-2141.
Q: Can someone else rezone my property?

A: Yes. Anyone can petition the Planning and Zoning Commission to sponsor a rezoning of your property. The Planning Services Department will notify the property owner, and adjacent property owners, of the proposed zoning change. The owner has the right to speak at the public hearing regarding the rezoning.
Q: How can I contest a rezoning I do not want near my property?

A: Speaking at the Planning and Zoning Commission public hearing on the rezoning is the best way to impact the decision. You may contact the Planning Services Department before the public hearing to get accurate information on how the rezoning will affect you, for example, what uses will the proposed zoning allow that were not allowed in the current zoning. Share the information with your neighborhood groups or associations. Decisions are made on facts presented during the public hearing, so it is important to argue the facts before the governing board!
