Your local building official will tell you that ANY change of use to a dwelling or other habitation or human occupancy may require a certificate, regardless of what the building was used for or how long ago it was built.

Modern code regulates most changes to existing structures.

What is the procedure for change in zoning from residential to commercial?

You would generally submit an application for a building permit to make a change from residential to commercial, if there were any changes required for that type of commercial occupancy. Otherwise, you would simply apply for a permit for change of use and obtain the necessary inspection and certificate of occupancy for the commercial use. Depending upon the location and local rules, you may be prohibited from changing residential to commercial of various types, absent a "waiver", known as a variance, after a public hearing and assuming the local rules allow it under the circumstances. Just because you own some property does not necessarily mean you can use it for whatever you want. Zoning laws carry out the police power to regulate land use for the health, safety, morals and general welfare of all.
