VA: Fairfax County multi-family zoning and second kitchens

[Leonid Sapronov]

Hi all,
Looking for someone who knows about how re-zoning works in Fairfax County. Basically, I'm interested in buying a house, where I can install a second kitchen in the basement, which could be rented out. It is possible the county may not allow this - I have not been able to find conclusive information, I just know that this is not common. And if it is possible, the house might have to be re-zoned as a multi-family dwelling.

If anyone has experience with this, any advice is greatly appreciated!
