Abstract:

Abstract:Polygon boundaries of Zoning Base Districts based on existing City zoning districts with revised codes applied per enactment of the new Zoning Code of December 2011, made effective August 22, 2012. District boundaries unchanged from previous zoning with the exception of certain CMX2 / CMX2.5 splits.Data Development:Key attribute fields and descriptions:CODE – Zoning code without the dash (often used for labeling maps at small scales)LONG_CODE – The Zoning code with the dash includedZONING GROUP – generalized group of zoning codes (i.e. Residential Multi-Family, Residential/Residential Mixed-Use, Commercial/Commercial Mixed-Use...)Coordinate system:Lambert_Conformal_Conic, NAD_1983_StatePlane_Pennsylvania_South_FIPS_3702_FeetThematic mapping:CODE – Zoning code without the dash (often used for labeling maps at small scales)LONG_CODE – The Zoning code with the dash includedZONIN_ GROUP – generalized group of zoning codes (i.e. Residential Multi-Family, Residential/Residential Mixed-Use, Commercial/Commercial Mixed-Use...)To obtain a Zoning Base District layer file, please contact Darshna Patel (darshna.patel@phila.gov, (215) 683-4611) or Pauline Loughlin (pauline.loughlin@phila.gov, (215) 683 - 4662).Other InformationThis layer has two related tables. These related tables are great assets for quickly executing zoning-related queries (i.e. all zoning districts categorized as Residential Single Family Detached, all zoning districts falling within the Residential Multi-Family generalized group, or all districts categorized as Auot-Oriented Commercial 1 and 2...)Zoning_Descriptions- This table names the detailed zoning description for each zoning code (i.e. Residential Single Family Detached-3, Residential Mixed-Use-2, Industrial Commercial Mixed-Use...)Zoning_Generalized_Groups- Generalized group of zoning codes (i.e. Residential Multi-Family, Residential/Residential Mixed-Use, Commercial/Commercial Mixed-Use...)Philadelphia Zoning-Related Websites:Zoning Code -- http://www.amlegal.com/library/pa/philadelphia.shtml and navigate to Title 14Zonng Map -- http://www.phila.gov/map On pop-up menu scroll down to 'Zoning'Zoning Administration Manual -- http://www.phila.gov/CityPlanning/projectreviews/Pages/Zoning.aspx
