Our reading is derived from what is actually built in each district today, not from the code string — a code like R-15 means different things in different Connecticut towns. It is an estimate, and the regulations linked above are the authority.
Where these names come from
The linked page only carries amendment sheets; read the consolidated regulations PDF from the same town site: https://bethel-ct.gov/vertical/sites/%7B90B1B948-C443-4CA6-8B88-90B1EEA9B1E2%7D/uploads/Zoning_Regulations_with_Amendments_Effective_5-15-2025.pdf — 'Zoning Regulations with Amendments, Effective 5-15-2025'. Districts taken from the 'This Section contains provisions for the following zoning districts' lists at the head of Article 3 (Residence Zones), Article 4 (Business/Industry Zones) and Article 5 (Special Zones), plus Sections 5.11 and 5.12, which are in the table of contents and body but omitted from the Article 5 header list. Four Article 5 overlays are given no abbreviation in the ordinance, so their full names are used as codes. Assessor 'RT 6' is the ordinance's RT6 and 'RMO' is the ordinance's RM-O. 'DCD/R-' is a truncated composite code in the assessor extract, not a district defined by the ordinance.
