Any advice to get zoning changed from SF to MF in Riviera Beach?

[Glenn Kopensky]

I am purchasing a house in Riviera Beach. The size and layout make it an easy conversion to a duplex. The zoning is single-family RS8 and the code doesn't have any provision for multi-family in that zoning. However, I did find a couple of properties within two blocks with RS8 single-family zoning, and they do have multi-family use. Has anyone gotten an approval for multi-unit in a single-family zoning? Should I get a lawyer for this?
