Can I have 2 kitchens in a single family home in a single family zoning?

I have 2 kitchen in my house. The house was taxed as 2 family and used for 20 years as such but is in a single family zoning. I need to open up upstairs and make it 1 family but do I need to get rid of the 2nd kitchen upstairs or can I keep it and it will be legally OK?
