This feature class represents the boundaries of the City of Austin Neighborhood Planning Areas (NPA). The status of these areas, as directed by City Council, can either be plan approved, planning underway/set to begin, future planning area, or non-neighborhood planning area. Future planning area boundaries may change before they are set by the City Council to begin. See https://www.austintexas.gov/department/planning-and-zoning/plans for more information.

Do not use this data to make zoning determinations. This data does not show all zoning regulations for an address, including overlays and situations where an address has more than one zoning. Also, the data may be out of date. Use the interactive mapping application https://maps.austintexas.gov/GIS/PropertyProfile/ to make zoning determinations, and call 311 if you have questions about zoning. Zoning only applies to addresses within the City of Austin city limits. This dataset is a list of addresses with their zoning provided to answer questions such as "what property addresses have CS zoning." This data is derived from GIS layer for address and zoning. The place_id field is provided for linking to the addresses GIS layer. This product is produced by the City of Austin for informational purposes.

City of Austin Open Data Terms of Use https://data.austintexas.gov/stories/s/ranj-cccq This dataset was created to depict approximate tree canopy cover for all land within the City of Austin's "full watershed regulation area." Intended for planning purposes and measuring citywide percent canopy. Definition: Tree canopy is defined as the layer of leaves, branches, and stems of trees that cover the ground when viewed from above. Methods: The 2022 tree canopy layer was derived from satellite imagery (Maxar) and aerial imagery (NAIP). Images were used to extract tree canopy into GIS vector features. First, a “visual recognition engine” generated the vector features. The engine used machine learning algorithms to detect and label image pixels as tree canopy. Then using prior knowledge of feature geometries, more modeling algorithms were used to predict and transform probability maps of labeled pixels into finished vector polygons depicting tree canopy. The resulting features were reviewed and edited through manual interpretation by GIS professionals. When appropriate, NAIP 2022 aerial imagery supplemented satellite images that had cloud cover, and a manual editing process made sure tree canopy represented 2022 conditions. Finally, an independent accuracy assessment was performed by the City of Austin and the Texas A&M Forest Service for quality assurance. GIS professionals assessed agreement between the tree canopy data and its source satellite imagery. An overall accuracy of 98% was found. Only 23 errors were found out of a total 1,000 locations reviewed. These were mostly omission errors (e.g. not including canopy in this dataset when canopy is shown in the satellite or aerial image). Best efforts were made to ensure ground-truth locations contained a tree on the ground. To ensure this, location data were used from City of Austin and Texas A&M Forest Service databases. Analysis: The City of Austin measures tree canopy using the calculation: acres of tree canopy divided by acres of land. The area of interest for the land acres is evaluated at the City of Austin's jurisdiction including Full Purpose, Limited Purpose, and Extraterritorial jurisdictions as of May 2023. New data show, in 2022, tree canopy covered 41% of the total land area within Austin's city limits (using city limit boundaries May 2023 and included in the download as layer name "city_of_austin_2023"). 160,046.50 canopy acres (2022) / 395,037.53 land acres = 40.51% ~41%. This compares to 36% last measured in 2018, and a historical average that’s also hovered around 36%. The time period between 2018 and 2022 saw a 5 percentage point change resulting in over 19K acres of canopy gained (estimated). Data Disclaimer: It's possible changes in percent canopy over the years is due to annexation and improved data methods (e.g. higher resolution imagery, AI, software used, etc.) in addition to actual in changes in tree canopy cover on the ground. For planning purposes only. Dataset does not account for individual trees, tree species nor any metric for tree canopy height. Tree canopy data is provided in vector GIS format housed in a Geodatabase. Download and unzip the folder to get started. Please note, errors may exist in this dataset due to the variation in species composition and land use found across the study area.
