The Developmentfeature service is a graphical depiction of development locations within Apex's jurisdiction that are proposed, approved, or under construction. A hyperlink is included for access to submitted plans. New developments are added at the beginning of each month. The status of each development is updated as the following benchmarks are met: Town of Apex Technical Review Committee approval, Town Council approval, and construction permit issuance. Developments are removed once certificates of occupancy are issued. Hyperlinked PDFs are updated with either the latest preliminary plans, approved plans, or signed construction drawings. The Apex Development Reportmay be referenced as a complementary resource.

Boundary of Town of Apex, NC zoning/permitting jurisdiction granted by NCGS outside of incorporated limits.Town of Apex, NC Extraterritorial Jurisdiction (ETJ) Extension was requested from Wake County Board of Commissioners July 2006. Approved by Wake County Board of Commissioners August 2007. Approved by Town of Apex Town Council October 2, 2007. Wake County PIN 0722762014 was relinquished back to Wake County per property owner request on October 15, 2013. An additional 340 acres were relinquished back to Wake County and then added to Holly Springs' ETJ on November 19, 2013 due to the annexation agreement line approved at the same Town Council meeting. Areas are removed from the ETJ polygon once they are annexed (incorporated) into the Town of Apex.

The Town of Apex was incorporated in 1873. N.C.G.S. 160A-22 requires current city boundaries to be drawn at all times on a map. This statute also requires that all alterations to the boundaries (annexations) be indicated on the map. This shapefiles depicts all individual additions to the boundaries of the Town of Apex corporate limits. Additions to the boundary occur a maximum of twice a month as the Town Council approves annexation requests from property owners. Boundary locations are based on legal descriptions referenced in the approved annexation ordinances recorded with the Town, Wake County, and North Carolina Secretary of State. Older annexations may not match with more recent annexations due to datum changes and variations in survey accuracy.

In 1995, the USGS, in cooperation with the U. S. Army Corps of Engineers, New York District, began a program designed to generate reconnaissance maps of the sea floor offshore of the New York-New Jersey metropolitan area, one of the most populated coastal regions within the United States. The goal of this mapping program is to provide a regional synthesis of the sea-floor environment, including a description of sedimentary environments, sediment texture, sea-floor morphology, geologic history, and the geometry and structure of the Quaternary strata. This mapping effort differs from previous studies of these area by obtaining digital, sidescan-sonar images that cover 100 percent of the sea floor. The sidescan-sonar data were digitally mosaicked to provide a base suitable for use in the geographic information system (GIS) of the New York Bight region.

The 2030 Land Use Map is based on the recommendations of Peak Plan 2030: The Apex Comprehensive Plan. Peak Plan 2030was adopted by the Town of Apex Town Council on August 6, 2013 and provides a snapshot of the Town’s vision for future land use on that date. All land use classification amendments approved by the Town Council following the original Map adoption are reflected on this map and, therefore, make the 2030 Land Use Map a dynamic document. Amendment dates are listed in attribute table column TC_Approve.

The 2045 Land Use Map is based on the recommendations of Advance Apex: The 2045 Land Use Plan Map Update. Amendments approved after initial Plan adoption are incorporated. Activity center nodes are also identified. Mixed Use polygons designate areas where ≥30% of the land use is required to be nonresidential development. Apartment Only polygons designate areas with High Density Residential striping where only apartments are allowed as a future residential land use.

In 2012, the CPUC ordered the development of a statewide map that is designed specifically for the purpose of identifying areas where there is an increased risk for utility associated wildfires. The development of the CPUC -sponsored fire-threat map, herein "CPUC Fire-Threat Map," started in R.08-11-005 and continued in R.15-05-006.

A multistep process was used to develop the statewide CPUC Fire-Threat Map. The first step was to develop Fire Map 1 (FM 1), an agnostic map which depicts areas of California where there is an elevated hazard for the ignition and rapid spread of powerline fires due to strong winds, abundant dry vegetation, and other environmental conditions. These are the environmental conditions associated with the catastrophic powerline fires that burned 334 square miles of Southern California in October 2007. FM 1 was developed by CAL FIRE and adopted by the CPUC in Decision 16-05-036.

FM 1 served as the foundation for the development of the final CPUC Fire-Threat Map. The CPUC Fire-Threat Map delineates, in part, the boundaries of a new High Fire-Threat District (HFTD) where utility infrastructure and operations will be subject to stricter fire‑safety regulations. Importantly, the CPUC Fire-Threat Map (1) incorporates the fire hazards associated with historical powerline wildfires besides the October 2007 fires in Southern California (e.g., the Butte Fire that burned 71,000 acres in Amador and Calaveras Counties in September 2015), and (2) ranks fire-threat areas based on the risks that utility-associated wildfires pose to people and property.

Primary responsibility for the development of the CPUC Fire-Threat Map was delegated to a group of utility mapping experts known as the Peer Development Panel (PDP), with oversight from a team of independent experts known as the Independent Review Team (IRT). The members of the IRT were selected by CAL FIRE and CAL FIRE served as the Chair of the IRT. The development of CPUC Fire-Threat Map includes input from many stakeholders, including investor-owned and publicly owned electric utilities, communications infrastructure providers, public interest groups, and local public safety agencies.

The PDP served a draft statewide CPUC Fire-Threat Map on July 31, 2017, which was subsequently reviewed by the IRT. On October 2 and October 5, 2017, the PDP filed an Initial CPUC Fire-Threat Map that reflected the results of the IRT's review through September 25, 2017. The final IRT-approved CPUC Fire-Threat Map was filed on November 17, 2017. On November 21, 2017, SED filed on behalf of the IRT a summary report detailing the production of the CPUC Fire-Threat Map(referenced at the time as Fire Map 2). Interested parties were provided opportunity to submit alternate maps, written comments on the IRT-approved map and alternate maps (if any), and motions for Evidentiary Hearings. No motions for Evidentiary Hearings or alternate map proposals were received. As such, on January 19, 2018 the CPUC adopted, via Safety and Enforcement Division's (SED) disposition of a Tier 1 Advice Letter, the final CPUC Fire-Threat Map.

A TMDL (Total Maximum Daily Load) is ascientific determination of the maximum amount of a given pollutant that a surface water can absorb and still meet the water quality standards that protect human health and aquatic life. Water bodies that do not meet water quality standards are identified as "impaired" for the particular pollutants of concern--nutrients, bacteria, mercury, etc. TMDLs must be developed, adopted and implemented for the identified pollutants to reducethepollutants and restore the water body so that designated uses are attained.This dataset containsonly those TMDLs which have been established by the EPA. This layer was created using data from the EPA TMDL website here: http://iaspub.epa.gov/apex/waters/f?p=131:12. All features shown as having a mercury impairment were removed from the dataset.
