Downzoning definition
Downzoning means to reclassify an area or property into a lower, and typically more restrictive, zoning band. See, e.g., THE NEW OXFORD AMERICAN DICTIONARY 514 (2001) (defining “downzone” as “assign[ing] (land or property) to a zoning grade under which the permitted density of housing and development is reduced”).
