Abstract:
Polygon coverage representing the predominant land use or land cover, as interpreted from aerial photography. Note: GDI delineated the land use boundaries using aerial photographs dated March 1993 and using a minimum mapping unit of one-half acre. ADR compiled land use polygons for all surface water features. NWI wetlands areas were identified using boundaries from a Quad-based wetland coverage; the wetland boudaries were then delineated using the aerial photography. Land uses are categorized using the Modified Anderson Level II classification system. Quality control check plots were produced at 1"=250' scale the whole county. Planning Commission staff reviewed all of the check plots and forwarded comments and corrections to GDI. GDI made some of the corrections but did not make others, claiming that they were below the half-acre minimum mapping unit limit. Planning Commission staff has also made corrections where they have been found.
Purpose:
Data created for Lancaster County planning. Intended for illustration and demonstration purposes only.
Supplemental_Information:
Disclaimer: LAND USE DISCLAIMER Land use boundaries were delineated at a 1" = 250' map scale using aerial photographs dated March 1993, and using a minimum mapping unit of one-half acre. Land uses are categorized using the Modified Anderson Level II classification system. Although each map unit represents the dominant land use, there may be smaller inclusions of other land uses within a given map unit. The Lancaster County Planning Commission has determined that portions of the land use layer have not met the minimum mapping accuracy standards stated above.

100 Level
111 Residential Less than 2 units per acre.
112 Residential 2.1 to 7 units per acre (villages, neighborhoods, highway strip houses).
113 Residential More than 7 units per acre (trailer parks, apartment buildings, condominiums, row homes).
114 Farmsteads Farm houses, usually associated with and including, barns and outbuildings. (NOT including large, commercial-sized hog/chicken operations - #230). Agricultural production may or may not be active.
120 Commercial and services Any apparent store, shop, mall, gas station or place of business where large-scale production is not occurring.
130 Industrial Large buildings that may have production in process.
140 Transportation and utilities Wide transportation corridors (including 4-lane divided highways), toll booth areas, highway departments, transmission stations, water towers/tanks, sewage treatment plants.
150 Industrial and commercial complexes Large areas where there are many adjacent industrial plants and/or other businesses. Only used when unable to determine the exact use as either 120 or 130.
160 Mixed urban or built-up land Densely developed land generally associated with urban centers. This category is often comprised of a mix of other developed land categories (i.e. 113, 120, 150, and 180) and is generally only used where development patterns are too complex to easily delineate separate developed land categories. For this project, this category will be rarely (if ever) used because the 300-scale photos appear to be sufficiently detailed to allow discrimination of separate categories.
170 Other Areas whose land use does not fit into any particular category or can not be interpreted from the aerial photography.
180 Institutional Schools, hospitals, or other institutional facilities. Churches and adjoining cemeteries. Stand-alone municipal buildings, including parking/storage areas for municipal equipment (i.e. snow plows). Also, stand-alone fire houses. Usually large buildings, surrounding access road with parking areas some landscaping, well-kept grounds.
190 Recreational Active Recreation Parks (i.e. ball fields, playgrounds, tennis courts). Also campgrounds, golf courses, hunt clubs.
Land Use Codes: 200+ Levels
210 Cropland and pasture Any land that is in agricultural use. Fields with crops or tractor tracks and grassy areas that may have cattle grazing or paths made by cattle.
211 Cropland
212 Pasture
220 Orchards/groves/vineyards/nurseries/other horticulture Trees/plants forming grid or regular patterns.
230 Large Confined Feeding Operations Usually associated with a farmstead (114) these are commercial-sized buildings housing hog or chicken operations.
240 Other agriculture
310 Herbaceous Open, grassy areas with few tress or shrubs. Generally refers to ungrazed or uncontrolled grass land, but also includes very large lawns and large cemeteries not adjacent to a church.
320 Shrub/brush Areas where shrubs, brush, and/or very small trees are present.
330 Mixed cover Areas that are not forested but have a mixture of vegetation.
410 Deciduous forest.
420 Coniferous forest.
430 Mixed forest.
500 Open water (Hydrology polygons from ADR).
610 Forested wetlands Wooded areas that appear to have very wet ground (location from NWI or TNC; linework by GDI).
620 Non-forested wetlands Swamps, and areas that have substantially wet ground (location from NWI or TNC; linework by GDI).
730 Sandy non-beach.
740 Rock outcrops
750 Mines/quarries/pits and junk yards/land fills.
760 Transitional (under construction).
770 Mixed barren and vegetated (basic disturbed class).
