Different zonings have different taxation rates. H Zoning has quite high taxation rates. However the cost of changing an H Zoned building to a single family residence is quite high in terms of money and effort. Apparently you have to retain an architectural technologist, have a floorplan drawn, then submit these plans and obtain a building permit. Just to change a tick box.
