Southeast Michigan Building Footprints Presentation to SEMCOG Executive Committee July 25, 2013
What is a Building Footprint? • Horizontal projected area from roof down to ground level. • Roof overhang affects building outline. • Is not the area covered by the structure at ground level.
Why SEMCOG needed Footprints? • Long range planning and forecasting. • Our forecasting models require accurate buildings data. • Detailed building data from administrative records is often missing, out of date or incomplete.
Building Footprint Acquisition • Building footprints were added to the land cover data purchased under the HUD grant. • Took delivery of 2.6 million building footprints in late 2012. • Reviewed initial footprints to identify and delete polygons that do not represent buildings.

Adding Value to the Footprints • Footprints as delivered contained only two attributes: a unique ID and median height. • Footprints needed many more attributes to be useful for forecasting and planning. • Assigned 15 additional building attributes to each building footprint.
Building Footprint Attribution Since most local data is organized by the parcel identification number … aka PIN or TAXID … we use this process to assign TAXID to each building footprint.
Attribute Data added to Footprints * Data originates in tax assessment rolls but is updated as needed from other sources.
Attribution Progress to Date 957,877 Footprints Processed To Date
Ways to use Building Footprints • Adjusting fire response service areas. • Maintaining up-to-date housing census. • Performing site specific market analysis. • Address points for emergency dispatch. • Visualizing development decisions.
Adjusting Fire Response Areas • Municipal fire departments in Saint Clair County. • Adjusted fire station service areas based on number and size of buildings.
Address Points for Public Safety • Monroe County 911/Central Dispatch. • Will use footprint addresses to better route emergency services.
Next Steps • Deliver footprints to communities as they are completed. • Expect to finish 2010 footprints by the end of 2013. • Strategies in place to add new construction in the future.
