Re-Zoning of residential lot

[Luis Becerra]

Has anyone had any experience with the process of re-zoning a residential single-family zoned lot into a residential multi-family zoned lot?

I just put a contract on a lot zoned as a single-family, located on a block with other duplexes, one is actually next door, and put a contingency on the contract that the sale will only go through if I can get it rezoned to multifamily.

I'm looking at building a duplex on the lot, and was wondering if anyone has had any past experience with the steps involved in doing this.
