Zoned out

A man complained to us that his municipality had rezoned his property from residential to institutional without his knowledge. He said he was seeking a permit to renovate a building on the property and was refused.

RESULT: After we spoke with municipal officials, they sent the man a letter apologizing for what happened and explaining his options. They also offered to waive the rezoning application fees and approved his building permit. The property owner thanked us for our help.
