: I have owned and operated a BBQ business that specializes in catering for over 15 years. Recently my building was acquired by state to widen roadway. I thought I could continue catering services at a home kitchen but the local authorities informed me that my residential area wasn't zoned for a business that would require a cook house being built on the premises. Has anyone ever heard of such zoning? P.S.- I live in a secluded area by a neighbor who happens to be the mayor and wants more seclusion. (He's been trying to buy my property for years.) Is this legitimate zoning or is my neighbor pulling strings?
In my locale you CANNOT operate a Catering company from a residential zoned area, been that way for about 18 yrs...I suggest to continue operating your business, you need to decide if you need a store front or not.....we don't have a storefront and have a great facility in a industrial area....CHEAP CHEAP rent.........Sam Sears, CEC
