You're right, the first issue is zoning...typically, a set-up like this falls under Mixed Use (MU). However, the nomenclature may vary with municipality.
I am currently working on a office conversion for a client...and we're having to restructure the interior and build fire rated walls between occupant spaces.
1. Some building departments may require sprinkler systems. So, be sure to inquire about about fire suppression and life safety.
2. Parking (or lack thereof) should be taken into consideration as well.
3. Also, Handicap Accessibility (ADA) requirements may have to be met. So, make sure that you have at least ONE handicap accessible restroom on the first floor.
BTW -what state...city are the properties located?
Anything else...feel free to ask...or PM me. I'll help the best I can!!
