Lot figures reflect each municipality's standard residential ladder; estate, rural, and special-purpose districts are listed on its page but excluded here. The smallest and largest are both real, citable districts. Parking is the off-street minimum for a single-family home. ADU shows the most permissive pathway available, where "Silent" means the code has no provision at all. d derived from a maximum-density standard; the ordinance does not state a lot-area minimum. A district in the code is not necessarily mapped anywhere; built lots are often smaller, set through planned unit developments.
