* The "T" designation following the C/R or
Employment zone formula is proposed as a
transitional measure to retain certain height
and density provisions from the current zoning
code. The "T" would remain on the map until
the zone is reviewed in a master or sector
plan. See Sections 4.5.2.C and 4.6.2.C of the
new Zoning Code (adopted March 4, 2014) for
more information.
