The official term for a "rezoning" of property is a zone map amendment. Every property in the City has a zoning designation, usually a designation that is consistent with the historic use of the property, nearby properties, and the Comprehensive Plan. There are two types of zone map amendments: (1) standard rezoning application, and (2) Planned Unit Development (P.U.D.) application.   Zone map amendments and zoning language amendments seek to establish and maintain sound, stable and desirable development in Denver. Amendments include: Correcting an error in the zoning designation of a property. Reflecting changed or changing conditions in a particular area or within the city generally. Rezoning of an area or extending the boundary of an existing zone district. Changing the regulations and restrictions as reasonably necessary to promote the health, safety, and general welfare of the public.
