Rezoning

An application for rezoning is required in order to change the designated use of a parcel under the Area Development Act. Rezoning is only required if there are zoning regulations under the Area Development Act in place.

What is rezoning?
Many Yukon communities and rural areas are divided into zoning districts. These zoning bylaws or regulations govern such things as property use, lot size, building setbacks etc. Rezoning is required if you are proposing a new use on your property that isn’t permitted under existing zoning. For example, rezoning would normally be required to change the use of your lot from residential to commercial. However, the proposed new zoning must comply with the land use designation in the Local Area Plan, if a plan exists.

Having the proper zoning designation is also a requirement of subdivision approval if you are considering subdividing your property.
