By Carolyn Ristau
Introduction
Pittsburgh’s interactive zoning map includes many layers besides the zoning districts, most of which relate to requirements within or adjacent to the zoning code. For an overview on how to use the interactive zoning map, see our introductory post.
To select different layers, click the stack of paper in the upper right corner. The layers available are listed below. Today’s post features the Council Districts 2012 layer, pictured above and in bold text below.

The Council Districts 2012 Layer
Overview
This layer of the interactive zoning map shows the city’s council districts as established in 2012 based on the 2010 census. To see which city council district a particular site was in under the 2012 distribution:

Relationship with Zoning
Like the Neighborhoods layer, the Council Districts 2012 layer does not correspond to any specific regulations in the Zoning Code. Every 10 years, the council district boundaries are adjusted based on the latest census. The map of the previous boundaries is kept publicly available, at least for a time, after the redistricting happens.
Conclusion
The Council Districts 2012 layer of Pittsburgh’s interactive zoning map can be used to identify the applicable city council office prior to the 2022 redistricting.
