The application process may also require the payment of fees and the notification of neighboring property owners or stakeholders for public input. During the review process, the local or county planning department evaluates the proposed changes against the existing zoning regulations or future land use plan. They consider factors such as the compatibility with surrounding land uses, the impact on infrastructure and services, environmental considerations, and the overall benefit or detriment to the community. Public hearings and community feedback may also be incorporated into the decision-making process.
