- Its San Francisco example notes conflicting city-source limits and says it uses the stricter reading.
Field notes
The page says it matches an address to the governing body, noting that a Bethesda address falls under Montgomery County while a Rockville address does not. Its shed examples distinguish building-permit exemptions from other requirements: Phoenix's example still has to meet the zoning ordinance, while Alexandria's notes that zoning and historic-district rules still apply. Parcel outlines are conditional on map availability.
