Hello everyone!
I’m brand new at this stuff and having some difficulty on where to begin. I have gone through several tutorials and currently looking to get started on my first map. I would like to begin with a zoning map of our city. All I have is an old paper copy of the map. I will need to create everything myself. I was thinking I needed to create a feature class and define my zones (R1 R2 C1 etc..) then sketch my zones over the default street map. But I keep wondering if it is better to start with something someone else has? I mean I cannot be the first person to do this, so does anyone have an example, or recommendations on fields I should add/include?

Before you start doing 'stuff' I would examine what has gone on before by doing some basic background
Local government tips I would caution against he urge to start digitizing your boundaries and trying to classifiy things without have a coherent structure or 'template' to organize your attributes and geometry. Your local esri rep can help in this regard
