The following documents are guides to the Structure of the Zoning Regulations of 2016 in Chinese, French, Korean, Spanish, and Vietnamese.

The review of the Zoning Regulations of 1958, as amended, was a project that began in 2007 with the Zoning Commission holding two roundtables and concluded on January 14, 2016 with the Zoning Commission voting unanimously to adopt text to revise the DC Zoning Regulations and approve map amendments to implement that text. This is the first time the Zoning Regulations and Zoning Map have been comprehensively revised since 1958. The new Zoning Regulations of 2016 will be published on March 4, 2016 and will become effective on September 6, 2016.
