Represents civic organization boundaries in the city of Richmond, Virginia.

The City needed geographical area definitions that were homogenous and non-political. The preexisting Neighborhoods feature class was defined to maintain homogenous areas of the City, but they were determined to be too discrete and numerous. Pertaining to size as well, it was believed that the geographical areas should not be so large, as to group together areas of the City that were dissimilar in character. Of particular importance, it was also a requirement that NSA geography was designed to permit analysis using Census data.It was decided by the Planning Dept that adhering to Census Block Groups was the best approach. It was also determined that attempts to approximate the Planning Districts would also be beneficial. The approach to defining the NSAs was as follows: a) 2010 Census Block Groups were merged together to create each individual NSA, b) they were grouped in ways to maximize the ability to share boundaries with existing Planning Districts were ever possible. While most NSAs lie almost entirely within one Planning District, some NSAs are pretty equally split between two planning districts (notably D-1). In the case of D-1, PDR arbitrarily decided to put it with the other ‘Downtown’ NSAs.The identification/naming of the NSAs was based upon the Planning Districts they most corresponded to, along with a sequential numbering assignment. Most NSA lie almost entirely within one Planning District, and where named from that Planning District. Names starting with "NO" are mostly in the North planning district; "NW" are mostly in the Near West planning district; "BR" are mostly in the Broad Rock planning district, etc... There’s no significance for the number following the planning district lettering used by NSAs (NO-1, NO-2, NO-3, etc). The number was just randomly assigned to further uniquely define the area subdivided within the Planning District, and has no relationship in terms to square area, population density, or anything.

Represents Commercial Area Revitalization Effort (CARE) administrative boundaries.Economic & Community Development split into two different departments. Housing & Community Development and Economic Development. The Department of Housing & Community Development owns CARE and Economic Development owns Enterprise Zone. Keisha Birchett (HCD) is the manager for both programs and serves as the data owner, while Richard Morton (PDR) serves as the data custodian.

Represents districts and sites that are listed on the National Register of Historic Places (Federal designation) and the Virginia Landmarks Register (State designation). Districts typically carry both designations. Both of these programs are administered by the Virginia Department of Historic Resources in conjunction with the National Park Service and the City of Richmond Division of Planning and Preservation. Properties that fall within these districts may be entitled to various development incentives, such as State and Federal Rehabilitation Tax Credits. National Register and Virginia Landmark Register Historic districts frequently experience boundary changes and new districts are created annually, due to the fact that the Rehabilitation Tax Credit programs are tied to State and/or Federal historic designation. The creation or amendment/expansion of National Register and Virginia Landmark Register Historic districts is often tied to economic development efforts.Note that some districts overlap and there are similarities with the boundaries for City Old and Historic Districts.

This map provides information on speed limits that are posted on state-maintained roadways in Virginia. Cities and towns set their own speed limits and these are not available to show on the map. Zoom in on the map to display the speed limits. Speed limits exist for all roads however; where this information is not available for mapping, they are not displayed. Most roads where speed limits are not shown are either rural, secondary roads (routes numbered 600 or greater) where a statutory 55 mph speed limit typically applies, or subdivision streets where a statutory 25 mph speed limit usually applies. These statutory speed limits are often are not posted on these roads. Click on any roadway to display the speed limit information.

Zone names amended with '-N' cover a naval installations and names amended with '-AF' cover an air force installation allowing for specific messaging for the areas.Geographic sub zones added May 2024. Eastern Shore (Accomack and Northampton counties), Northern Neck (Lancaster, Northumberland, Richmond and Westmoreland counties), Middle Peninsula (Essex, Gloucester, Mathews and Middlesex counties), Peninsula (cities of Hampton, Poquoson and Newport News and James City and York counties) and Southside (cities of Chesapeake, Norfolk, Portsmouth, Suffolk and Virginia Beach and Isle of Wight county).Official Zone Colors should use the following:ZONE A | RED | HEX# CA3A4A | C16 / M92 / Y70 / K3 | R202 / G58 / B74ZONE B | ORANGE | HEX# CD7B29 | C73 / M49 / Y0 / K19 | R55 / G105 / B206 ZONE C | YELLOW | HEX# FFDB45 | C73 / M49 / Y0 / K19 | R55 / G105 / B206 ZONE D | BLUE | HEX# 6DA4D8 | C56 / M25 / Y0 / K0 | R109 / G164 / B216~~~~~~~This file represents hurricane evacuation scenario zones derived by Atkins from VA_COUNTY, a feature class representing locality (county and city) boundaries in the Commonwealth of Virginia. Final data deliverable was given to VDEM on: July 7, 2017. Zones shapefiles were created by subdividing the VA_COUNTY polygon feature into scenario-based hurricane evacuation zones by county, based on digitized zone linework.
