  • Not covered here: DMU (Downtown Mixed-Use) and MSMU (Main Street Mixed-Use): waterfront specific plan zones, use tables not in the text (S8-S10 only point to the specific plan); Zone names for RL, RM, RH1, RH2, RMU, CR, O, APS, OS, PQP are not stated in the packet. Overlay zones and specific plans can also change the answer.
