REZONING  

Zoning is the mechanism used to ensure that land uses in Odessa are properly related and located. The City Council is responsible for determining the appropriate district to apply to each parcel of land according to the guidelines of the City of Odessa Comprehensive Plan. If a zone change is required after discussing it with the Planning staff, an application with a fee ($200-$400, based on tract size) must be submitted to the department. The property owner's consent is needed and the process of rezoning could take from six to eight weeks.
