Yes.

Whether a specific parcel sits in a mapped special flood hazard area is an address level question the platform answers.

No, and they are labeled so.

They appear in one clearly marked section as context and are never presented as measurements of Glendale.
Is zoning published for Glendale?
No. Nothing on this page presents parcel level zoning.
