For example out here I recently gave a ballpark cost on two separate rezones...one was in conformance with an existing general plan and would implement the desired future zoning, another was not in conformance with an existing general plan and would require a land use plan amendment as well as a community plan update to allow the desired rezone to proceed...the first rezone's ballpark cost was $10K for submittal with an anticipated final cost of ~$100K once you include the 3-5 other consultants needed and responses to comments ect, the second one's cost was ~$40K for submittal with an anticipated final cost of ~$250-300K once all consultants were included...I know some locations a 'rezone' is a way the City brings a property to the desired future zoning and it isn't nearly as costly, but that is why the 'story' is more important than the question...
