Ok I live in a neighborhood but the property right across the street from me a touching a main road. Well it was just purchased and the person that purchased it is going to lease it to a bussiness. Is there anything I can do to prevent this from happening? I have two young children. I also am a single mother. All I need is traffic up and down my street all day. I am a home owner so I can't just move. Please please please help me. What do I do? This property is directly across the street from me. Please help.

First contact the owner of the property and ask him his intentions and then you can proceed to call your city hall and ask about the property and whether or not permits and occupancy licenses have been applied for to run a business out of the residence. If hes not pulled permits maybe you can show up at the planning commission and dispute the property be used as residential only,if he has already got occupancy permit then call the city and see if your property is zoned residential/commercial maybe you can pull up stakes and put some money in your pocket at the same time

If the property in question is zoned anything other than residential, there is nothing you can do except that you will have to now watch your children.
If the property is zoned residential, you can voice your concern at the Zoning Comittee's public hearing; however don't hold your breath.
Your best option is to teach your children not to play or run into the street and when playing do so away from the street, like the backyard.

Check with your local government to see how the property is zoned. If it is zoned to allow business, there's not much you can do. If it's not zoned for business, make sure the government knows of the new owners' plans early so they can tell them about the issue. But most likely the person who bought the property checked into this a long time ago and is operating within the limits of the law.

I would check with the local zoning commision. If it's zoned residential then they should not be opening businesses. If it is zoned to allow commercial then you may be stuck. Also, does your neighborhood have a home owners assocaition? If so contact them and maybe they can do something. Also consider getting a patition going in the neighborhood to take with you to the zoning commision, letting them know that the neighborhood does not want a business right across the street.
It's not going to be easy though, they will have money and lawyers on their side. Consider contacting a lawyer of your own.
Best of Luck

First off, how is the property zoned? If it's zoned for the type of business that the new owner is planning to lease it to there's probably nothing that you can do.
If the new owner needs to secure a zoning variance make sure that you appear at the hearing(s) and raise your objections to the variance. Same if he applies to have the parcel re-zoned.

Depending on the state and or county you live in there is process that you must go through to change the zoning in a residential area. If your home has CC&Rs (Covenanants, codes and restrictions recorded you may have the right to sue them for non-conforming use. Check with your local city offices to see which may apply to your case.

You can talk to the city....you would probably need to put together a signed petition of at least +51% other complaining residents to get the transaction voided by the city on grounds of public safety.....but talk to the city and see what they say.....if they feel there are compelling safety issus, they may talk to the property owner on your behalf to make some arrangement that would put you at ease.
