This application is used to obtain approval for a modification in the current zoning regulations, allowing for a different type of development or land use. The Future Land Use Map Amendment, which is often associated with the rezoning application, refers to an alteration in the long-term vision and planned land use of a given jurisdiction. It entails updating the map to reflect the desired land use changes, allowing for more flexibility and adaptability in future developments. The Future Land Use Map Amendment typically highlights the preferred land use patterns and development intensities for different areas within the jurisdiction. The Kentucky Application for Rezoning and/or Future Land Use Map Amendment serve as crucial tools for local municipalities to manage growth, improve community planning, and ensure that development aligns with the goals and objectives of the jurisdiction's comprehensive plan. These applications aim to strike a balance between urban development, environmental preservation, and the needs of the community.

Comprehensive Future Land Use Map Amendment: This type of application involves significant modifications to the long-term land use plans, considering various factors such as population growth, transportation networks, and community needs. It involves a comprehensive review and adjustment of the existing future land use map across multiple areas within the jurisdiction.
