How to read Maxis Lot Names

[CasperVg]

The first half of the name is it's hexadecimal number, a system for counting based on a series of 16 digits. The second half of the lot name represents the way the data is organized in SimCity 4.  The prefix "CO" means commercial office and $$$ means high wealth. The "1" after the $$$ signs represents the building growth stage.  The "2x2" at the end represents the size of the lot.

Commercial
CO - Commercial office, $$$-$$

CS - Commercial services, $$$-$$-$

Civic
CV - Civic

Industry
I-d - Industrial dirty

I-ht - Industrial High tech

You forgot two (or three, at least according to the Lot Editor):

Farm Field
U - Utilities (only the recycling center)
Utils - Stations and Tollbooths

[RippleJet]

PZ - Puzzle Zone (Parks, etc.)

I'd replace "etc" with "Airports and Seaports"
