You'll need to know what type of structure you're developing for the next step. Identify Sub -category. Sub -categories of a section (residential or non-residential) are based on zoning designations. Use the matrix below to determine specific application of standards, based on the type of structure (section) and zoning designation (sub -category). Your sub- category will either be "CD", "TND'; "IND", "MF'; or "SF" (see table below for description and references to definitions). Integrated structures with both residential and non-residential uses may fall into either section, depending on the property zoning designation. Residential structures fall into single-family or multi -family sub -categories as defined by the City of Meridian Unified Development Code.

In the above example, 'A" references the Intent of a section; e references the goal(s) under an intent; and "C" references specific standards under a goal. For example, 3.2C, would indicate Intent #3, Goal #2 and standard C. ---------------------------, What do the table icons mean?
