What this case is

Rezoning. A rezoning asks the local government to change the zoning district on a piece of land, which changes what can be built there and how much of it. It is decided by the elected board after a public hearing, usually with a recommendation from a planning board first, and takes effect by ordinance. Approval sets the entitlement. The owner still needs a site plan and building permits before construction starts, and each of those is its own step on the record.

Who decides what on this record:

• Planning Commission. An appointed board that holds the public hearing and votes on a recommendation. The elected board casts the deciding vote later. The elected board, meaning the county commission or the city council, casts the deciding vote at a later meeting.
