Applications may be submitted by any interested party for general use zones. For a conditional zone or special use permit, an application can only be received from the property owner or an authorized agent. Rezonings and special use permits require a public hearing before the Gastonia Planning Commission (GPC). A particular case may be heard by the Gastonia City Council if the Planning Commision vote is appealed, or if the desicion is by less than a 3/4 vote.
Applicants are highly encouraged to contact Planning staff to discuss a potential rezoning prior to filling out the application. For more information, see the Gastonia Planning Commission Quick Links section to the right.
