Where these names come from
newfairfield.org is behind Akamai and 403s to fetchers; read the town's official PDF via a Wayback snapshot (web.archive.org/web/20251108164323id_/https://www.newfairfield.org/home/showpublisheddocument/23990) - "New Fairfield Zoning Regulations, Zoning Commission, Effective - October 18, 2025", 272 pp. Districts from Section 1 (Residential), Section 2.1 (Business) and Section 3 (Special Districts). UNMAPPABLE: the assessor codes are the bare values 1, 2 and C, which correspond to nothing in the ordinance - every New Fairfield district code is alphanumeric (R-88, R-44, OSR, BC, NB, LI, MFDE, PDD), so these are internal assessor codes and cannot be mapped to districts. Labels for R-88/R-44 use the ordinance's own term "Residence District" (e.g. "a Residence R-88 District"); OSR is called both the "Open Space District" (Sec. 1.1) and the "Open Space Residential District" (Sec. 6.3).
