Strip zoning

Permanent change in or exemption from existing zoning regulations for adjacent parcels of property. Strip zoning is often achieved through zoning variances, conditional-use permits, or amendments to zoning district maps. For example, a row of houses in a residential zoning district along a road that has become a busy thoroughfare might be rezoned as commercial.
