Developing land and rezoning

[Jon Arambarri]

Hello BP people,

Atypical question here. I am working on my next investments and although i want real estate, I would like to develop and build (as well as build) real estate. I work in large scale construction management and that is no issue for me, however zoning is.

I know zoning varies by county, but i wanted to know how hard it is to rezone land. I'm looking at a few different pieces of land but they are all zoned to be low density (R-T-2). Does anyone have any experience in rezoning land, the process, possible costs, and any experience in Florida/Orange county Orlando?
I know this isn't an easy one, but anything would be useful!

Thankyou again BP people,

Jon.
