@EgonVMIt's not possible to change an occupied lot type from a standard Residential type to a business in my game, never has been but it may vary by platform perhaps. Are you using mods/cheats? I'm on console and it's never been possible in all these years.

So yeah, I'm guessing that the issue described should not be normal.

My only suggestion here is to repair the game. Though the expansion pack is buggy after all...
