Definition:
When the view is zoomed out, Vancouver's zoning is displayed thematically using generalized categories. Colour is used to identify each category which are:
- CD-1 districts
- Historic districts
- Industrial districts
- Commercial districts
- Multiple family districts
- Two family districts
- One family districts
- Limited agricultural districts
Each of these thematic areas is composed of a series of individual zoning districts. For instance, "Industrial" includes the MC-1, M-1, M-1A, M-1B, M-2, IC-1, IC-2, IC-3 I-1, I-2 and I-3 districts. These individual districts become visible when as one zooms in closer.
