Table 1: Transect Zones

NATURAL ZONE	RURAL ZONE	SUBURBAN ZONE	GENERAL URBAN ZONE	URBAN CENTER ZONE	DOWNTOWN CORE ZONE
Lands approximating or reverting to a wilderness condition, including lands unsuitable for settlement due to topography, hydrology or vegetation. Not used in this code	Lands in open or cultivated state or sparsely settled. These include woodland, agricultural lands, grasslands and irrigable deserts. Not used in this code	Low density suburban residential areas, differing by allowing home occupations. Planting is naturalistic with setbacks relatively deep. Blocks may be large and the roads irregular to accommodate natural conditions. Not used in this code	Mixed-use and residential urban fabric. It has a wide range of building types: single, side yard, and rowhouses. Setbacks and landscaping are variable. Streets typically define medium- sized blocks. GU Zone in this code	Higher density mixed-use building types that accommodate retail, offices, rowhouses and apartments. It has a tight network of streets, with wide sidewalks, steady street tree planting and buildings set close to the frontages. UC Zone in this code	The highest density and intensity of development with a wide variety of commercial uses and residential uses located in mixed-use buildings. A tight network of walkable blocks, regularly spaced street trees and buildings set at the frontage line. DC Zone in this code
