From the opening
Zoning is a local ordinance that maps the city into districts and states which uses, and often which sizes of building, are allowed in each one. It sorts activities in advance, so a parcel's legal possibilities depend on the district attached to it, not only on what a neighbor would prefer. The opening covers districts list the allowed uses, bulk rules sit beside the list, and zoning is not the building code.
The rest of the brief — the later sections and the reading notes — opens after Stripe confirms payment.
