Adding studio apt. to single family home

[Dane S.]

I have a property that has a detached garage that was previously used as living space/man cave. It has a furnace and a wall AC unit. It’s currently in rough shape though. The space is around 500sqft not including the actual garage that it’s attached to. Can I renovate this area to a studio apartment and rent it to a seperate tenant. What zoning issues have people ran into? Anyone tried this in there areas? Who do I talk to at the local government for answers? The PVA site says R-1C-Single Family Residence.
