Northern California Cannabis Cultivation Laws: Interactive Map

This project aims to provide a quick guide to commercial cannabis cultivation laws in Northern California. The interactive map includes information on services allowed in each county, areas where cultivation is permitted in Sacramento, and links for more information.

  1. Northern California Commercial Cannabis Cultivation Laws – An Interactive Map Using ESRI ArcGIS Online Shawn Stiver ARC Fall Semester, 2016 Geography 385 GIS For The Web

  2. Project Concept and Goals: • California has recently approved the consumption of cannabis for recreational use. • Commercial cannabis services are subject to far more restrictive ordinances. • These ordinances vary from county to county, sometimes from city to city. • This project aims to provide a quick guide to services allowable within northern California counties, areas and parcels where commercial cultivation is allowed within the city of Sacramento, and links on where to obtain more information.

  3. Source Data: • Northern California Counties • City of Sacramento Boundaries • City of Sacramento Zoning • City of Sacramento Parcel Data • City of Sacramento Schools and Parks Northern California Counties City of Sacramento Zoning

  4. Data Preparation • Data Pre-Processing • Additional attribute columns added to reflect service status by county, legal zoning status, and legal parcel status. Additional County Attribute Columns • Geoprocessing • Buffers created to show zones surrounding schools and parks, merged with zoning not approved for cultivation • City of Sacramento Zoning • Schools and Parks Buffering

  5. Data Preparation Parcel Data Preparation • Zoning data overlaid on parcel data • Select by location used to identify individual parcels Parcel and Zoning Data Overlay Parcel Attribute Data • Attribute data added to mark parcels inside and outside legal zoning requirements Parcels Identified by Legal Status

  6. Map Creation • Process In Three Steps: • Upload Individual Feature Classes to Service Layers • in ESRI Online • Thematic Map Creation and Symbolization • Web Application Creation and Widget Assignment • and Configuration

  7. Service Upload and Map Creation Individual Feature Classes Uploaded as Services to the ESRI Cloud • Feature Classes Uploaded to ESRI GIS Online using ArcMap Sharing Application Map Creation • Once layers were created, a new map was created and individual layers were added to the map • Layering order was defined to ensure layer visibility (Points on top of polygons for example) • Visibility limits were assigned to allow layers to appear as defined by zoom level • Symbolization was defined by attributes for each layer to show status • Popups were configured to show appropriate titles and column visibility was defined to show • only data related to theme

  8. Feature Popups • When a feature is clicked on, a popup window appears containing data • related to that feature. Attribute columns not incidental to the map • subject were blocked from display.

  9. Application Creation • Addition of interactive applications “widgets” requires creation of a web • application. • Widgets are used to add search functions such as routing, address lookup, • or queries. • For this project, three additional widgets were added, “About”, “Search”, • and “Base Map”. • The About widget was created to add a brief description of the purpose of • the map, and how to add data in the Search function. • The Search widget is configured to look up specific APN’s located in the Parcel • layer attribute table, and street address locations in the Sacramento area. • The Base Map widget allows the user to choose between topo, street, and • imagery backgrounds. “About” Widget “Search” Widget “Base Map” Widget

  10. Performance • Performance on a desktop computer was acceptable, all layers would • draw within a few seconds. • Performance was also tested on an iPhone 6, both connected to a home • wireless system, and on a cellular data connection. Redraw speed was • Definitely faster on wireless, but lag on cellular was only a few seconds • slower.

  11. Summary • Data Preparation takes the longest time in this process. • The widgets available from the ESRI default selections are very basic • in nature, more complex analysis appears to require designing your • applications. • Allow for base maps to be added as layers! • Improve availability of the application.
