Conditional rezoning is a land use regulation tool that allows local governments to approve zoning changes subject to specific conditions or commitments from the developer. These conditions are negotiated to address potential impacts of the proposed development, such as traffic congestion, environmental concerns, or infrastructure demands.
Conditional rezoning provides flexibility in land use planning, enabling tailored solutions that balance development goals with community needs and regulatory standards. It often promotes public benefits, such as affordable housing, green space, or improved infrastructure, while accommodating private development interests.
