Rezoning to Commercial or Mixed-Use Zones
Industrial land can be rezoned to support commercial development, especially in areas experiencing urban growth or redevelopment. This change allows for a broader range of business and service-oriented activities.

• Conversion to retail centers, office parks, or showrooms
  
• Integration into mixed-use developments with shops and services
  
• Encouraged in transitional areas near urban cores or transportation hubs
  

Rezoning to Residential or Civic Uses
Where industrial operations are obsolete or land is underutilized, rezoning may permit residential or public facility development. These changes often require environmental remediation and planning approvals.

• Transformation into single-family or multi-family housing zones
  
• Development of schools, hospitals, or government buildings
  
• Requires assessments for soil contamination and infrastructure upgrades
  

Rezoning Within Industrial Categories
Adjustments can be made within industrial classifications to change the intensity or nature of permitted uses. This is common for adapting to modern industry demands or mitigating community concerns.

• Upzoning from light to heavy industrial to allow more intense operations
  
• Downzoning from heavy to light industrial to reduce environmental impact
  
• Rezoning for specialized industrial parks, green tech, or innovation district
