Grandfathered usage concern

[John Hogg]

I have a property under contract in Idaho that is zoned ag and grandfathered in as a commercial use. The current owners had been using as mixed use residential/ commercial.

Does anyone have experience good or bad with grandfathered usage. Reasons to stay away or things to watch out for. I am meeting with zoning to discuss tomorrow just looking for any advice.

We also plan to use the property in a similar fashion as previous owner.

Thanks.

@John Hogg - I think it is great you are meeting with Zoning, they should be a good source of info.  Be sure to get the grandfathered documentation in writing!
