Essential Zoning Guide
When developers and property owners are investigating a new project or embarking on a development, the purpose or ‘use’ of that property must align with the regulations contained in the property’s rights. By modifying the property use, or zoning, a developer can unlock significant value and development potential for their investment.
A change in planning rights is a relatively inexpensive way to make property improvements, and if done well can easily increase the property worth by as much as tenfold. The following steps are an essential guide to rezoning a property and also discuss how you can use various tools to find new development opportunities. An important step in this process is finding a way to unlock a property’s full zoning potential (thereby increasing its value) without paying expensive upfront costs and service contributions.
