What should be confirmed before publishing Rochester on ZoningVerdict?
Before first publish, confirm with Planning and Zoning whether the city has adopted the 2025 proposed zoning update materials and whether the proposed interactive map should supersede the Current Zoning Map PDF. Municode is currently the best ordinance source and is online-updated through the 2025-04 ordinance cycle, but the city Planning Commission page still presents the DE-1, DE-2, T, MU, MU-1, RTECH, and LI materials under proposed 2025 zoning changes, while the current zoning map PDF still shows the older district legend. This draft therefore uses the current Municode/map labels conservatively and flags proposed labels for confirmation.
