There's usually a chart that breaks down the different types of district designations and the permitted uses associated with them, or at minimum a lengthy description.If there isn't a distinction between residential districts, you can probably just call the city to find out.If there is a distinction and your property isn't zoned for multi-family, you'll need to get the property re-zoned.

After all, Civil Engineers are using 100+ years old formulas to design bridges, tunnels and buildings. 

There are a lot of developers and flippers in my area that put their personal touch on a project i.e. green front door, tiled accent wall, etc

I am bookmarking everyone that I like to give my designer some ideas.

They also can not receive any significant gift or pay from any activity while on duty or that arises out of thier federal employment.City and county employees are usually under the same restrictions, but your building regs/inspection department usually makes public a list of dangerious buildings, some may just be vacant for 6 months or so and identified simply to secure the property.

Please don't waste two months coming up with a name, designing cards, and picking the paper weight for your letterhead when you could be using that time more productively!
