Converting Boarding House to 8-plex?
Right now I have a "6,000" sqft property. It is grandfathered in as a boarding house; I have no experience with re-zoning a property. What is the likelihood of a zoning committee allowing a change of use to a 8-plex (or more)? Is it standard to have to do 100% of the work right off the bat? Or can I do it in phases? I would love to convert this property into 1BR/2BR units. I'm not too keen on house hacking to 8 random people! Any insights on prior experiences are appreciated!
