Town of Leesburg : Rezoning

This application is a request to change a property’s zoning, the designated use district, as shown on the Town’s Zoning Map.

The application generally consists of a Rezoning Application, a Statement of Justification, a Concept Plan, and a Rezoning Plat. A rezoning application can be initiated by the Town Council, but in most cases filed on behalf of the property owner or agent thereof. Rezoning applications are initially reviewed by staff, receive a recommendation by the Planning Commission and ultimately approved by the Town Council.
