    Conversion Matrix. Districts established prior to the date of adoption of this chapter are set forth in Appendix "D" to this chapter. The city hereby finds and determines that the existence of two (2) separate sets of zoning districts, one dating from 1938 and the other dating from 1965, causes confusion and difficulties in the administration of the zoning regulations and periodic updates to the city's comprehensive planning policies. In order to ease the administration of this chapter, the city hereby adopts the conversion matrix established in Appendix "D" to this chapter by reference in order to determine the appropriate zoning district of each property within the zoning jurisdiction of the city.
