Hi guys,

I am looking at purchasing a floor in a 4 story loft that is zoned for commercial use. The first two floors of the building are zoned commercial and the top two are zoned residential. The thing is I would not need the entire space for my business. So my question is does anyone know if it’s possible to change a floor to a work/live zoning and if so how involved is this? Additionally, what are the ramifications of just living and working out of a commercial zoned floor in a building like this? Do city officials actually drop by to see if there are living quarters? Any help would be greatly appreciated!
