Legacy Zoning

If your zoning has an (A), (W), (B), or (J), this identifies a legacy zone district.  An example of one of these districts is A-1(A), which is a legacy Adams County agricultural zoning.  Prior to Broomfield becoming a City and County on November 15, 2001, areas in Adams, Boulder, Jefferson, and Weld Counties were annexed to Broomfield.  Many of these areas retain the county zoning that was in place at the time they were annexed.  Those codes can be found here.
