What is the main action involved in the process of replatting a lot?

Consolidate multiple parcels into one
Divide the lot into two or more parcels
Change the zoning of the land
Rezone to increase property value

The correct answer is: Divide the lot into two or more parcels

Replatting a lot primarily involves dividing an existing parcel of land into two or more smaller lots. This process can involve creating new lot lines, adjusting existing boundaries, or developing a more detailed layout of the land to accommodate new development. The goal of replatting is often to provide improved usability for the land, whether for residential, commercial, or mixed-use purposes. In replatting, the new division of land typically requires adherence to local zoning regulations, and it may also entail regulatory approval to ensure that the new lots meet all applicable standards for development. This distinguishes it from consolidating multiple parcels which is a different action altogether, as well as from changing zoning classifications or pursuing value-driven rezonings, which focus more on the land's designation and potential use rather than the physical layout of the parcels themselves.
