Do a roll check with your local muni.

Zoning rights does have an impact on price as demand for business zoning in a residential area with high traffic volumes can increase the price of the property if compared to other properties in the same street that does not have business zoning rights.

Best check with the municipality - (from personal experience) some municipalities don't allow the transfer of business rights.

Also check exactly what the municipality understands by "business rights".
