However, there are mechanisms that allow owners to make a use different from that established by zoning.

A novation is not related to zoning, but to the replacement of a debt or one of the parties in a contract.<\/li>\n<li><strong>\u00abAmendment\u00bb<\/strong>: NO. Although it is possible to change zoning regulations through an amendment, it is a process that affects an entire area and not just a particular property.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Approval of surrounding owners<\/strong>: NO. Although having the support of neighbors can be beneficial in many cases, it alone does not allow an exception to zoning regulations.<\/li>\n<li><strong>\u00abConditional Use Permit\u00bb or \u00abZoning Variance\u00bb<\/strong>: YEAH.
