Property Filtering: Zoning

[soskin]

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.

Under Find Properties, when further filtering on Zoning designation, the various levels are too complex for intended low-capacity user. ie. CA-1, CA-2, CMX-1, CMX-2, CMX-3 ...

Describe the solution you'd like
The Zoning designation per property is what it is, fact.
However, filtering could be easier, rolling up to a general zoning designation.
Individuals/low cap care less / don't necessarily differentiate between CMX-1,2,3,4 etc. vs. simply CMX.
All residential properties toll up to RSD, RSA, RTA, RM, RMX, CA, CMX, IRMX, ICMX, I, SP (remove all the sub-categories, for purposes of filtering, only).

Should also be able to pick more than one.

Describe alternatives you've considered
Can leave as is ...
Roll some up and not others ...
Attached the guide, somewhere on the site, if you think helpful.

I agree with the complexity of the zoning filter for the users. I would like to tackle this one.

Great! LMK if you need anything.
@CodeWritingCow can you assign?

@DonovanAndrews300 assigned! Thanks for tackling. Implementation preference would be to allow users to also start by typing the zoning code and have it filter that way, too. (e.g., if you started typing "RS...", it automatically narrows the list to only those starting with "RS"). We could then reuse this filtering component for the RCO and Neighborhood filters, and possibly others.

Got it! So remove subzones from the filter options, add a reusable component for filtering, allow multiple zones to be selected simultaneously, and enable users to type to narrow down the filter options.

This is great.
A compact effective list! Many thx.
