This historic zoning layer constitutes the official zoning map for Loudoun County prior to adoption of the revisions to the 1993 Zoning Ordinance on January 6, 2003. This zoning data is owned and maintained by Loudoun County, Virginia Department of Building and Development.
Zoning is used to facilitate the administration of the zoning ordinance. The data are used extensively for taxation, subdivision review, permitting, and planning. Although the feature class represents the official zoning map for Loudoun County prior to adoption of the revisions to the 1993 Zoning Ordinance on January 6, 2003, a determination should be requested from the Zoning Administrator to verify zoning for a particular property.
Data are stored in the corporate ArcSDE Geodatabase as a polygon feature class. The coordinate system is Virginia State Plane (North), Zone 4501, datum NAD83 HARN (vertical datum, if applicable, NAVD88), US Survey foot units.

Retention of attribute accuracy throughout the coverage to geodatabase feature class coversion process was ensured by a QA/QC programmatic check. To meet satisfactory QA/QC requirements the input coverage and output feature class must have, on a record by record basis, identical attribution when comparing all concatenated fields to all the user-defined attribution.
Topologically clean
Zoning data is incomplete countywide due to unavailability of data within Town and Dulles International Airport limits. Features may have been eliminated or generalized due to scale and intended use. To assist Loudoun County, Virginia in the maintenance of the data, please provide any information concerning discovered errors, omissions, or other discrepancies found in the data.
Retention of coordinate accuracy throughout the coverage to geodatabase feature class conversion process was ensured by a QA/QC programmatic check. To meet satisfactory QA/QC requirements the input coverage and output feature class must have the same record total, and on a record by record basis, area, perimeter, and length differential of less than +/- 0.5%.
First zoning map adopted with 1942 Loudoun County Zoning Ordinance.
1959 Zoning Map adopted with 1959 Loudoun County Zoning Ordinance
1972 Zoning Map adopted with 1972 Loudoun County Zoning Ordinance

See Lineage Above for major events where the zoning layer was impacted. The zoning layer is updated as Board of Supervisors approved zoning map amendments (ZMAP) are identified.
This data set was part of a batch process that converted legacy data from ArcInfo coverage in Librarian to a single-tiled ArcInfo coverage in preparation for a final coversion to ArcSDE Geodatabase Feature Classes. Data were extracted from Librarian using the EXTRACT TOPOLOGICAL command. Multi-tiled data sets were extracted into multiple coverages and then combined based on the feature type(s). Layers with both polygon and arc feature classes were processed with the Arc commands, MAPJOIN and DISSOLVE. Arc feature classes alone were processed with the Arc commands, APPEND and DISSOLVE. Layers with both arc and point feature classes and point feature classes alone were processed with the Arc command, APPEND. When used, the Arc command, DISSOLVE, was given with the <#all> option. All coverages were then reprojected to HARN 83 using the following .prj file specifications: INPUT PROJECTION STATEPLANE UNITS FEET ZONE 5551 DATUM NAD27 NADCON PARAMETERS OUTPUT PROJECTION STATEPLANE UNITS FEET FIPSZONE 4501 DATUM HPGN NADCON PARAMETERS END This dataset was then converted to a feature class in a geodatabase in ArcSDE.
