Description:
Abstract:
Zoning. The dataset contains polygons representing zoning districts, as submitted to the DC Office of Zoning, created for the DC Office of Zoning (DCOZ). Zoning districts were identified from official adopted zoning and unofficial zoning documents and heads-up digitized from the 1995 orthophotographs.
All data is stored and exported in Maryland State Plane coordinates NAD 83 meters.
METADATA CONTENT IS IN PROCESS OF VALIDATION AND SUBJECT TO CHANGE.
Purpose:
This data is used for the implementation and regulation of development in Washington, D.C. by local government agencies.
Supplemental_Information:
The long title of the Zoning Regulations, as adopted, shall be as follows: REGULATIONS CONTROLLING AND RESTRICTING THE HEIGHT, BULK, NUMBER OF STORIES, AND SIZE OF BUILDINGS AND OTHER STRUCTURES, THE OPEN SPACES AROUND THEM, THE DENSITY OF POPULATION, AND THE USES OF BUILDINGS, STRUCTURES, AND LAND IN THE DISTRICT OF COLUMBIA, AND FOR SAID PURPOSES DIVIDING THE DISTRICT OF COLUMBIA INTO ZONING DISTRICTS. The regulations set forth in this title shall be known and may be cited by the short form title of the 'Zoning Regulations of the District of Columbia.' Unless otherwise noted, the authority for this chapter is §1 of An Act providing for the Zoning of the District of Columbia and the regulation of the location, height, bulk and uses of buildings and other structures and of uses of land in the District of Columbia, and for other purposes, approved June 20,1938 (52 Stat 797), as amended by An Act approved March 4, 1942, P.L. V-468, (56 Stat 122); and by 55492 of the District of Columbia Self Government and Governmental Reorganization Act, P.L. 93.198, 87 Stat. 810. SOURCE: §1101.1, 1102.1 and 9301.1 of Regulations effective May 12, 1958. INTERPRETATION AND APPLICATION: In their interpretation and application, the provisions of this title shall be held to be the minimum requirements adopted for the promotion of the public health, safety, morals, convenience, order, prosperity, and general welfare for the following purposes: (a) To provide adequate light and air; (b) To prevent undue concentration of population and the overcrowding of land; and (c) To provide distribution of population, business and industry, and use of land that will tend to create conditions favorable to transportation, protection of property, civic activity, and recreational, educational, and cultural opportunities; and that will tend to further economy and efficiency in the supply of public services. The regulations set forth in this title and the zoning maps are designed with consideration of the following: (a) The character of the respective districts; (b) The suitability of each district for the uses permitted in each district under this title; and (c) The encouragement of the stability of districts and of land values in those districts. The provisions of this title shall govern whenever the regulations in this title do the following: (a) Require larger yards, courts, or other open spaces; b) Require a lower height or bulk of buildings or a smaller number of stories; (c) Require a greater percentage of lot to be unoccupied; or (d) Impose other higher standards than are required in or under any statute or by any other municipal regulations.

Type_of_Source_Media: database
Source_Citation_Abbreviation: Zoning Geodatabase
Source_Contribution: location and attributes
Process_Step:
Process_Description:
Base data came from two sources: the street centerline developed by Spatial Systems (SSI), and georeferenced scanned maps from the Real Property Tax Administration. Attribute data was provided by zoning regulations and orders. This map is unofficial, not yet adopted by the Zoning Commission. Planimetric data was not available when this data was first created.
Maintenance for Zoning layer:
Notification of new, approved zoning orders is sent to the Office of Zoning's contractor, Michael Baker (Baker). Baker staff make the requested changes to the Zoning layer within the Zoning geodatabase. Zoning layer boundaries are snapped to the Street Centerline GIS layer from the DC Atlas. Once completed, the updated layer is posted to the server at the Office of Zoning.
The related tables "Zoning_Cases" and "Zoning_Orders" are also updated with information about the zoning order (such as the order number, square and lot of the requested change, previous and new zoning for the area, and dates of the hearing and approval). The Case Number serves as the primary key to link the geospatial layer to these tables.
The zoning map represented by this layer is unofficial and has not been adopted by the DC Office of Zoning. Once the DC OZ adopts the map, the only official Zoning map will reside on the DC Office of Zoning's server. Extracts from the map may be distributed to other DC government offices, but these extracts will not be official Zoning maps.
All data is stored and exported in Maryland State Plane coordinates NAD 83 meters.
