How To Use The Updated Zoning Map
This guide will help you interact with the updated zoning map Unlike DPD's original zoning map, this one does not accept public input. To give your input to DPD, you have to leave the map and send them an email. For suggestions about zoning improvement and sharing your input with the Division of Planning and Development (DPD), see "Send this letter about zoning to elected officials"

In the upper left, you will find the magnifying glass for searching your address (yes, in the last version that was in the upper right). Enter your address and hit return; the map zooms you into that address. Click on or near the small circle that appears to mark your address (it's quite small) and a larger tract of land will turn green and the information in the two boxes on the left side of the screen will change. The green indicates the zoning area in question, which should include the address you entered. Reference the key to see how your area is zoned, and the two boxes to see what DPD wants you to know about that zone. DPD's information is not thorough, and it is biased. For example, you wouldn't know from reading their information that RN-1 allows lots more "by right" than the old R6, RN-2 allows more than RU-1 and RU-2 did, etc. These are much more than name changes.
To give public input, you have to leave the map. DPD accepted public input on the original map, but not on this one, even though they are squeezing the public with unrealistic deadlines. To give input, you have to write an email. For that, see the link nearer to the top of this page.
