Crosswalk: current → proposed districts

Every current Helena zoning district mapped to its proposed destination in the consultant recommendations, grouped by the land use category each aligns with.

How this reads

Grouping follows the consultant's land-use-plan alignment (Zoning Regulations Update — Preliminary Recommendations Report, Ch. 2). Some current districts are consolidated into one proposed district, some are renamed, some are retained as-is, and a few are new, replaced, or eliminated.
