Rezoning from R1 to R2 in City of Orange - California

[Matt Inouye]

Hey BP Community,

Has anyone had experience petitioning a rezone from R1 to R2 near Chapman University in Orange County California?  I have a 6000 sq ft lot with a 1600 sq ft primary residence.  

I am wondering if it might be worth rezoning to R2 and putting up another dwelling

R1 Comps:

750K for a single dwelling

850 for single dwelling + in-law unit

R2 Comps:

1.050M-1.2M for Two dwellings on the property

Mahalo,

Matt
