    You generally don't change zoning for a single house.  If you are looking to change the USE to MF you need to look at the current zoning and what is allowed for the zone it is in. Check your town zoning maps and the description of that zone sometimes SF and duplex are allowed in a zone, sometimes only SF. If allowed the building dept in town could tell you what is required.  A conversion  to MF today is not usually a novice activity. you have firewalls, separating electric, water etc.

    Thanks for the feedback, I was able to talk to zoning and they told me it was R2 so only able to add on an additional unit. I appreciate your help!
