How To Use The Comparison Table
How To Use The Comparison Table
How To Use The Comparison Table
‐ Proposed uses are indicated by red text in the left‐most column. Proposed zones are in red text in
the top row.
‐ Current uses, their categorization and current zones are in black text.
‐ Read across a row to see where a use is currently permitted by right (P) or is a special exception (SE).
‐ Look at the last row in each proposed use to see where a use is proposed to be permitted by right
(P), a limited use (L)—which means permitted by right, but subject to some use standards—or a
conditional use (C)—which is equivalent to the existing special exception.
‐ ^ denotes that there is a footnote associated with the use. The proposed code aims to take the
information found in footnotes and incorporate it into the body of the text, eliminating the need for
footnotes.
‐ Please note that this table is based on the information found in the second discussion draft, ZAP
Draft December 8, 2010 and is subject to change as the Rewrite progresses toward a consolidated
public review draft.
‐ Printing the tables works best on 11x17 paper.
