rezoned
Changed land designation
Rezoned is the past tense of rezone—to change the official classification of a piece of land, altering what can legally be built or operated there.
Zoning laws divide areas into residential, commercial, industrial, and other categories.
When property is rezoned, its permitted uses change: The city council rezoned the old factory district for mixed-use development.
Rezoning often sparks controversy among residents and developers.
