Map 3: A simplified composite of Maps 1 and 2

What the map shows:

Developable areas are shown in purple. Lands that are partially constrained are shown in a red stipple pattern. Land that is unavailable for new growth because it is already developed, permanently protected, or unavailable due to regulations is shown in yellow.


What it tells you:
  • Location of undeveloped pockets within developed areas that might be targeted for new public open space or new infill development.
  • Is development occurring where it makes sense (i.e. adjacent to existing development, where infrastructure is available, etc.)?
Map 4: Aerial orthophotographic map

What the map shows:

An aerial photograph of your community, showing recent conditions at the same scale as the GIS maps. Aerial photos range in date from 1992-1999.

What it tells you:

  • This picture translates the abstractions of the maps into reality.
  • The actual texture, character, and quality of both developed and undeveloped land in your community.

Tip:
Your consultant or RPA can provide a more complete description of the information contained in a buildout analysis and the implications of that information.
