It has always been the opinion of this office that a request by a property owner to use his property in a manner allowed in a zoning district other than the zoning district where the property is located, requires a rezoning, not variance. A simple illustration is as follows: If a property owner wants to build a multi-family unit in a R-l zone, it requires a rezoning and not a variance from the requirement of allowing only single family homes. The reason is that multi-family units are allowed in a different zoning district. Thus, an outside storage is allowed in 1-2 and not 1-1 zones, a request for outside storage in an I-I district requires a rezoning. Mr. Jensen's letter of July 25, 1990 is the opinion of this office.
