Question: Does anyone know the definitions of the different property zones? e.g. R-6, M-1, etc.? Website? 

Answer: Each town usually has their own codes for zones.  First try going to your town's website and see if the Zoning Dept. has a listing there.  If not, call the Zoning Dept. and they will tell you what each one means.
