Problem 1: (6 points) You live in a residential neighborhood, and you find out from a neighbor that a local developer wants to construct a 150unit apartment complex just behind your homes. Your neighbor thought the area was zoned for only singlefamily dwellings; you both are concerned about your property values dropping as a result of the new complex.

a. If your neighbor is correct about the current zoning, is there a specific procedure the developer can follow in order to construct the apartment complex and avoid violating the zoning ordinance?

b. Is there something you and your neighbor can do in response to the developers possible actions under (a) if you are concerned about the complexs effect on your residences values?
