Vacant Multi family purchase - The Mistake I did

I bought a vacant Quad and Duplex which are adjacent last month.

The property was vacant for two years.

I went to city to pull permits for renovation, I came to know that the current zoning is Single family.

As the utilities are not there on the property for more than six months, the City says

it lost its grandfather clause as Multi family.

Through attorney, I have applied for variance to continue as Multi.

I have the city hall meeting on October 1st.

I would appreciate if any one has any advice on how to present at the city hall.

Thanks

@Thripura Vemireddy I have had to apply for a variance with the city of Newnan before. If you're well organized and have done your research, they're typically pretty common sense people. I would go down to the city and ask some questions. Be forthright about what you're goal is and most people there should work with you.
