Can I build a house on a lot zoned residential garage?

[Tom Bujnowski]

I have under contract 2 lots next to each other. Each has a separate pin number. A house sits on one lot that we're going to rehab and resell. The lot next door has a garage on it. It's zoned for a garage. That's the way it was when the property was built in 1919. My goal is to sell the lot with the garage on it to a builder. Can I do that with the present zoning? Or do I have to get it rezoned to SFR? How difficult would it be to get the garage lot rezoned?
