- Downtown- identified by red in the Existing Built Form map.
- Urban Central - identified by light blue in the Existing Built Form map.
- Urban General - identified by yellow in the Existing Built Form map.
- Campuses - identified by orange in the Existing Built Form map.
- Reserves - identified by green in the Existing Built Form map.
- Water and Sewer Service Area (WSSA) and Exurban - identified by gray in the Existing Built Form map.
