GIS Base System, Zoning, & Address Map

1. GIS Base System, Zoning, & Address Map GEOG 1820 Created by: Bradley Boyce

2. Why Convert to GIS….. • **Attribute Data** • Manage Existing & Plan Future Infrastructure • Streamline Information Among Employees in Day to Day Operations (Field Use) • View and Manipulate Multiple Maps at the Same Time • Data Analysis • Emergency Preparedness

3. Step 1 – Data Acquisition • Convert from AutoCAD (mapexport) • Other Sources

4. Step 2 – Geodatabase(Critical) • File GeodatabaseSystem- No file size limit (Rasters) • Coordinate System – NAD 1983 State Plane Utah North FIPS 4301 Feet • Datasets – Features of Similar Type • Feature classes - Points, Lines, Polygons • Raster Data – Raster Datasets, USGS, DEM (Digital Elevation Models)

5. Step 3 - Basemap • In every GIS project there are many layers that serve as the basemap. These layers depict background reference information such as landforms, roads, landmarks, and political boundaries, etc., onto which other thematic information is placed.

6. Step 4 - Addressing (Requires Allot of Time) • Road and Address Data - Know your data • Create the Address Locator or Locators • Geocode Addresses Original Parcel Dataset had over 2800 Addresses. Cleaned Dataset has approx. 1900 Addresses Found Discrepancies in the Street Datasets

7. Step 5 - Zoning Map Creation • One of the Most Widely Used Maps by the City (Accuracy) • Used AutoCAD RGB Color Values to create a Zoning Layer File • Zoning Domains – Data Integrity and Editing Efficiency • Transparency (Better than AutoCAD)

8. Onward and Upward……. • Adjust Street Geocoding Data • Convert Remaining General Plan Maps to GIS • Survey Infrastructure and Map in GIS • Integrate GIS system into Day to day operations • Maintain up-to-date GIS system
