A run down house was purchased close to my home. The new owner demolished the old home and now wants to rezone the property in order to build it as triple occupancy. I need the best evidence/arguments in order to prevent this from happening.

Request for the invalidation of the propose zoning change citing valid reasons like improper demolition and future works in property.

What is your interest in the run down house? Sure, you are entitled to quiet enjoyment of your land (as in, no noise, etc). At the same time, the owner of the run down house is entitled to rebuild, refurnish his land. There is a need for a balance here. I am not sure what triple occupancy means exactly but if it doesn't change the status of the intended building (residence purpose) to something entirely different (industrial purpose), it might look like a weak case. But, of course, consult your lawyer.

Depends where you live. Visit your City of ---- website and search development approval, planning, zoning changes. Most municipalities set out the zoning change criteria, including the deadline for submissions.

I have never had to do this but I think that you can go to the city council meeting and get a petition from neighbors in the area regarding the fact that you are not in favor of this.

Call a lawyer. Sorry, they'd know more about what you could do. Um, I'd try for a free consoltation or whatever they're called.
