Etymology
The term 'rezone' is derived from the combination of the prefix 're-' meaning 'again' and the word 'zone' which comes from the Latin 'zona' meaning 'belt' or 'girdle'. Zoning itself became prominent in urban planning in the early 20th century, particularly with the rise of cities and the need to regulate land use for orderly development. The practice of rezoning has evolved to address the changing needs of communities and urban environments, allowing for adaptability in land use planning. As cities have grown, the need for efficient use of space and resources has led to numerous rezoning applications to facilitate diverse development projects from residential to commercial uses.
