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
Read: Town of Waterford Zoning Regulations, 'ZONING REGULATIONS Effective June 5, 2026' (https://www.waterfordct.gov/DocumentCenter/View/6090), Section 2.1 District Classification, plus section headings for MCOD (13a), MPD (14a), HOD (16a), PDD (19) and PDD-1/PDD-2 (30). 14 of 20 assessor codes matched (VR-75 = VR-7.5, RU120 = RU-120, C-T = CT). The six '...W' codes (R-20W, R-40W, VR75W, VR15W, VR10W, RU12W) are not districts in the ordinance and do not appear on the town Zoning Map legend either; they look like an assessor-side suffix (likely land under/near water), so they are returned unmatched.
