notes

potential fine print disclaimers

• Some sites pre-date their underlying zoning and therefore may not conform to use regulations – “nonconforming” uses.
• Some commercial uses (e.g., agriculture, offices, health care facilities) uses do not have affiliated NAICS codes in the Zoning Resolution, though they may align with unlisted NAICS codes and indices.
• Other policies and agencies govern use allowances outside of zoning [expand]
• About lots with overlays/multiple zoning districts, write a note on the tool regarding how to interpret
• For special districts, could list those with modifications on the tool, flag districts with modifications under the By District search bar/dropdown
• Prioritize “Use Name” + ZR language over associated NAICS index names when considering applicability for your business
• Need to include a blurb about how ground floor commercial uses are regulated by the C district you see on a lot, while the R district you see governs the uses allowed in the rest of the building and surrounding space - consult Zoning/EDR about this
