Yahoo's CEO Marissa Mayer is expanding her foot print in Palo Alto California with the purchase of a 1.16-acre 114-year-old family-owned mortuary. The sellers say they believe Ms. Mayer will use the property for residential purposes. However to do this, she would need to go through what sounds like a long process:
The property is currently zoned "planned community" (PC) and allows only a commercial funeral-home to use the site, said Aaron Aknin, Palo Alto's assistant director of planning and community environment.
"Any new development would need to go through a re-zoning process -- Planning and Transportation Commission review and City Council approval required," he said.
