Where these names come from
Read: City of Waterbury Zoning Regulations, 'With Amendments Through: December 1, 2023' (adopted 4/27/2011, effective 5/16/2011, revised to 12/1/2023), Article 3 § 3.01 Establishment of Districts plus § 7.04. The live waterburyct.org PDF URL now returns 404, so I read the Wayback Machine capture dated 2024-06-13 of https://www.waterburyct.org/filestorage/103431/108302/108357/108359/Waterbury_Zoning_Regs_Revised_to_December_1,_2023.pdf. All 14 assessor codes matched exactly; the CA-IL overlay is added from § 7.04 and does not appear in assessor data.
