When a run finishes, open the Study and choose the Zoning Analysis tab. On a wide screen, a rail on the left jumps between sections. Sections with nothing to show are hidden.

Verdict

The verdict is at the top: Below the verdict are a short summary, the District, the Confidence, and the number of verified Citations. Refine → opens the Advisor on that finding.

Confidence

Confidence shows as High, Medium or Low. It’s rated on the weakest step of the run, not the average, because one shaky input makes the whole read shaky. Click the confidence chip to see which step was weakest and the scores behind it.

Findings

  • Risks: issues to watch. You can mark each one mitigated or accepted, or dismiss it.
  • Feasibility: an overall rating, estimated timeline, conditions, and the factors for and against (on “Plan a New Project” runs).
  • District: the base district the parcel falls in, any overlays, and whether the parcel is split across zones.
  • Regulatory Stack: the federal, state, regional and municipal layers Urbee composed for this Site, and the map facts it found for each (see below).
  • Use Permission: why the proposed use is or isn’t allowed, with citations.
  • Site Regulations: dimensional standards such as minimum lot size, setbacks, height, coverage and FAR, plus any overlay changes.
  • Parking, Watershed: where the jurisdiction has them.
  • Trigger Ledger: which filings your Program triggers (see below).
  • Permit Pathway: the filings required, who decides them, why each is required, and the estimated critical path.
  • Sources: every citation behind the result. See What a citation guarantees.

The Trigger Ledger

Each row is a filing the town’s code may require, marked Required, Not required or Undetermined. An Undetermined row names the input that would settle it. Enter it with Settle this, then Save & preview, and re-run the Study to update the Permit Pathway and Items. A Not required row is only a clean ruling-out when Urbee has verified every clause of the provision. Where it hasn’t, the row says so.

What “not assessed” means

Urbee is explicit about the limits of what it checked. In the Regulatory Stack, a layer marked Urbee has not assessed this layer or GIS facts only — regulatory nexus not assessed is not a finding that its requirements don’t apply. Each layer lists what was searched.

When Urbee can’t cite a value

Urbee never fills a gap with a guess. Instead you’ll see:
  • Not found, with the sources Urbee searched;
  • — where a code states no figure, with the note the code gives;
  • You entered this or From your site file for numbers you provided. They’re shown as yours, never as a code requirement.

If the Program changes

If you edit the Program after a run, a banner says The Program has changed since this run and names the date the results reflect. Click Re-run to bring the Trigger Ledger, Permit Pathway and Items up to date.

The Items tab

Items turns the result into work. Every filing, decision, risk and gap from the run becomes an item, with authority, due date, owner and readiness: Readiness comes from each item’s state; you don’t set it by hand. Switch to Timeline view to see dated filings in phases, with the critical path marked. Items also appear in My Work.
