Without having the lease to review, it is not possible to provide an accurate answer.
As a Franchise Attorney I can add to the other attorney answer. If you don't pay your rent, the landlord can evict you. It's really that simple - unless the lease says you don't owe rent until the zoning issue is approved. But it's very unlikely the landlord would put such a provision in the lease. Consult with a good business or franchise attorney in your area for specific advice.
