Morphology
The phrase is directly compositional: 'zoning' (land-use designation) + 'change' (an alteration) + 'fee' (a payment) yields a payment required for altering zoning. Although it is a technical administrative term, the meaning is predictable from the known constituents and follows a common noun-compound pattern found across languages, so a learner who knows the parts should be able to infer it.
Etymology
Zoning change fee comes from the simple idea of paying a fee when you ask the local council to change a property's zoning, so the land can be used in a different way. That's why it means a one-time charge for the council to review and approve a request to change how the land may be used.
