Is it possible?

I'm currently "operating" in the Belladonna Cove. I was planning on building a series of house and businesses along the coast line. So, I laid down a bunch of empty beach lots. However recently, I found some nice looking beach lots on some of the sim sites I visit. Here's my issue: Even after bulldozing the empty lot and all adjacent objects/decor, it still will not let me place the pre-made lot. I know it's not a measurement issue because I tested it on a "dummy" Belladonna Cove and it works just fine. Which brings me back to my original question. Is it possible to reset a neighborhood? (I don't care about the inhabitants.

) Or is there an alternative to this mess? Any help would be greatly appreciated.
