Call the city, or county if not in a city, Ask to speak to a zoning bored representative.  They should have a packet of information on the process.  

The typical process looks like this, though may very 

  1. Draw up plans for how the lot/parcel would be used and complies with the target zoning type's regulations.
  2. Apply for approval of plans
  3. The zoning board will mail notice all the property owners in the area.  You may have to run an add in the news paper.  Here it is 3 weeks of adds. 
  4.  Lastly there is a public hearing where you will argue the benefit to the public for the zone change. Anyone can show up to oppose your proposal.
  5. The zoning board will rule on your proposal. 

GOOD LUCK!
