Partial copy: about 20 chapters (most zone and administration chapters, ch. 1-7, 8A-8C, 8E, 9A-9B, 10B, 12-15, 19-20) are scanned images on the city's site and are not included. Use the official code for those.
Tables (like use tables) may not copy cleanly, so check any table against the official code.
Confirm anything here with Fruit Heights planning before you rely on it.
