Title: Land Use Parcels of Loudoun County, VA (July 2016)
Geospatial_Data_Presentation_Form: vector digital data

Description:

Abstract:: This layer identifies existing parcels within Loudoun County and their current Land Use, with an initial Residential focus AS OF JULY 1, 2016. The existing structures data source is Loudoun County VA, Office of Mapping & Geographic Information's (OMAGI) addressable structure layer for all of Loudoun County, VA.All residential uses, which includes Single Family, Multi-Family and Group Quarter uses, are specified and existing Commercial structures (Offices, Retail, Medical Offices, Data Centers, etc) are combined into a single Non-Residential use. The other uses specifically identified are HOA (Home owner Association owned parcels), Miscellaneous (no employment generating), and Multi-Use (2 different uses), and Vacant (parcel with no land use),
Purpose:: This parcel data is used for land use, capital facilities, and transportation planning within the County. It is also used for fiscal, demographic, and market analysis of the County. It is also used in determining the current state of Residential development and help assist in guiding future residential development within Loudoun County.

Lineage:

Process_Step:

Process_Description:: On January 21, 2015 the Board directed County staff to develop a work program for a detailed County-wide build-out analysis of residential units and an assessment of the number of Affordable Dwelling Units (ADU) at build-out. And then at the October 7, 2015 Business Meeting, the Board approved the residential build-out work plan as recommended by County Staff.
There will be three land use layers created (structures, parcels, and projects) and two build out scenarios (low and high build-out) created in the build out analysis. The first scenario assumes vacant land of approved projects will develop as currently approved. The second scenario assumes the approved projects may not develop as currently approved and that all vacant land with no SFD/SFA suddivision or an approved site plan for multi-family units will develop at planned land uses.
The analysis will also serve as background information for the County's new Comprrehensive Plan update process, whcih started in Fall of 2016. </pr
Process_Date: 20151007

Process_Step:

Process_Description:: This layer originated from a March 28th data download of Loudoun County's parcel layer to create the initial Parcel Use layer. It identifies its existing parcel use and development status, among other land use characteristtics. At this time, the Commercial use is not speficially identified and all corresponding parcels are given a NON-RESIDENTIAL use.
The initial Parcel use layer included a cross-check of County Assessor, County Building and Development permits, and County Demographic data to create the initial Countywide Parcel Use layer to perform verification on. The data was first generated in a tabular format using Microsoft Access to query and return data from the above databases. The table was imported into the ArcGIS environment and a spatial GIS layer created for the Use verification.
The verification process was performed on both a visual and tablular level to fix any mistakes in the inital Parcel Use designation. The visual process involved looking for "oddities" in the data, including a row of SFD parcels containing a single SFA parcel (and the opposite), a row of MFA parcels containing a MFST parcel (and the opposite), etc. The tabular level involved checking the layer's attribute table for mistakes, including the following: Assigning the correct use for RES_UNKNOWN, FLAG, and RESMF; changing VACANT with a Building Permit issued to the correct use identified by pemit type; parcel with residential or non-residential but no address to determine accuracy; Any community centers, HOA offices, pools, etc assigned a Residential use; and any Farm parcel coded with a Residential use to name a few.
