A request for rezoning is officially referred to as a "Development Code Map Amendment", as it is an amendment to the City's Official Zoning Map. The proposed alteration of zoning must be consistent with the underlying land use designation, as depicted in the most recent General Plan's Land Use element.

In the event that the underlying land use does not conform with the proposed rezoning, a General Plan Amendment application must also be submitted. 

Permitting (with exception for the Floodplain Use Permit) is now handled through the City's CitizenServe platform. CitizenServe is a third party service that allows members of the public to apply for, track, and research applications within Sierra Vista online. Users are required to register for an account before using CitizenServe. Land Development Permits, such as those listed on this page, can be applied for under the "Submit a planning application" page on CitizenServe.

If you have an existing Sierra Vista Business License, you already have a CitizenServe account. On the login screen, you may use the email address associated with your Business License as the login username and select the "FORGOT YOUR PASSWORD" button.
