what zoning departments (of the city/county) do i speak to?

This depends on your local zoning ordinances. Thus, the correct answer varies city/county.
Among other things, it is a function of setback requirements, and height restrictions. In addition, some cities have precisely stated maximum and/or minimum square footage.

If you are in the city limits, you check with the city building department. If outside the city limits then it's county.
The size of house will be determined by 1) the minimum setback requirements from the outside of the property, or 2) the maximum squarefootage allowed on your size property.
Or if you wanted to get a freebie, call up a local architect and tell him/her you are thinking of building a home on this property and they will clue you in.

All good answers by previous posters. You should consult your local planning department and get a copy of the ordinances/bulk requirements for your zone. It will give you the lot coverage percentage, front, rear and side setbacks, height restrictions, minimum lot size etc.
