The GIS map uses this code for parcels with planned, legacy, commercial PUD, or conditional zoning controls. The controlling ordinance, resolution, approved plan, and conditions may override or supplement generic base-district standards. Confirm the parcel-specific approval with Planning before acting.

The GIS map returns TND for some parcels. Treat TND as a Planning-confirmation code: traditional neighborhood development projects may have approved plans, regulating plans, and conditions that control allowed uses, lots, setbacks, and building form. Confirm the parcel-specific approval before relying on district-level standards.
