This service provides visual representation of North Carolina Municipal Boundaries defined through the 2021-2022 Powell Bill.This service was created to assist governmental agencies and others in making resource management decisions through use of a Geographic Information System (GIS). Municipal boundaries are recognized as a base cartographic layer for location analysis. This data is current for the fiscal year 2021 - 2022. Municipal boundaries updated this year were based on towns that reported annexation changes to the NC Office of Secretary of State. This may not be representative of all towns with boundary changes this year.The Municipal Boundaries service is based on the Powell Bill Program maps for the 2021-2022 fiscal year. Municipalities in North Carolina participating in the Powell Bill Program are required to submit to NCDOT on a regular basis. These datasets include incorporated municipalities in North Carolina that participate in the Powell Bill Program. Boundaries of municipalities which do not participate in the Powell Bill Program are also included in this data. Sources for the boundaries vary in scale and format as provided by the individual Municipalities.For more detailed information about the Powell Bill Program: https://connect.ncdot.gov/municipalities/State-Street-Aid/pages/default.aspxThe Spatial Data Operations Group at the North Carolina Department of Information Technology-Transportation, GIS Unit serves as the data steward of this service, on behalf of the North Carolina Department of Transportation, Powell Bill (State Street-Aid) Program Unit.

The Charlotte Streets Map is a citywide mobility policy map that categorizes Charlotte's arterial street network into defined street types that reflect our multimodal vision for our streets. Each street type guides public and private investment to plan for and protect envisioned future streets that accommodate our multimodal needs (pedestrian, bike, transit, and car). The Streets Manual was adopted in August 2022, in coordination with the UDO.

Charlotte's Annexation History since 1855. Annexation is the methodical extension of a city's boundaries into adjacent unincorporated areas, and the corresponding extension of that city's services to the areas encompassed by the new boundaries.

Shows the locations of the areas selected for the Comprehensive Neighborhood Improvement Program.

Community Planning Areas are 15 boundaries that cover Charlotte's planning jurisdiction.

Areas of influence for the Corridors of Opportunity are delineated by selection of Neighborhood Profile Areas (NPA) that intersects each corridors.There is one area, NPA 21, shares the boundary of both Graham Street/North Tryon and Sugar Creek/I-85 corridors.

This dataset shows the storm water watersheds, these watersheds identify a creek or stream that storm water will flow into after a precipitation event. These watershed boundaries are located in Mecklenburg County, North Carolina.

An easement is a right of use by one party over the property of another party, sometimes for a specific purpose. For Storm Water, easements are property interests which document the conditions under which Storm Water has permission to enter an easement area on private property to repair drainage issues and/or perform on-going maintenance. A storm drainage easement is a recorded, legal document which describes easement boundaries and any conditions and restrictions related to the permission granted by the property owner to Storm Water. Under the easement, the property owner is the grantor and the City (or other applicable municipality through Charlotte-Mecklenburg Storm Water) is the grantee. This represents a location where there is a Storm Water Services Easement. This may not be inclusive of all easements. Please consult Land Records to perform research.

The City of Charlotte has been named a Bee City. Pollinator gardens are important in order to maintain the bee population. This map will allow citizens as well as organizations to track the location of pollinator gardens. the intention of this map is to hopefully assist code enforcement so that they don't unintentionally write code violations for a pollinator garden.

This service provides a quarterly snapshot of the North Carolina state-maintained road network centerlines. Here, the route network is divided into three layers with symbolized Route Classifications listed below.State Maintained RoadsInterstateUS RouteNC RouteSecondary RouteRampsRest AreasOther State Agency RouteState Maintained Roads - Primary RoadsInterstateUS RouteNC RouteState Maintained Roads - InterstatesInterstateNorth Carolina’s route network is comprised of Interstate, US, NC, Secondary Roads, Ramps, and non-state maintained and projected roads required for federal reporting purposes. Route attributes include Route Class, Route Qualifier, Route Inventory, Route Number, Route Name, and County name. The Route ID attribute is an 11-digit composite route number, the identifier for the Dominant Route. It uniquely identifies routes statewide and should be used as the route identifier when performing LRS analysis using route/milepost referencing.NCDOT adopted the road centerline based Linear Reference System (LRS) Network as it’s official Enterprise LRS, to which multiple road inventory attributes are referenced along measured routes throughout North Carolina. These routes are classified as either System or Non-System routes. System routes are routes within the state-maintained road network, and are comprised of Interstates, US Routes, NC Routes, Secondary Routes, Ramps, and Non-System Routes. Non-System routes are routes that are typically not maintained by NCDOT, but instead by a local agency (county, city or MPO/RPO). The local agency is the source for updating these Non-System routes in NCDOT’s LRS. The collection of routes, System and Non-System, is the NCDOT LRS Network referred to as MilePoint.MetadataThe metadata for the contained layers of the NCDOT State Maintained Roads service is available through the following links:NCDOT Route ArcsPoint of Contact North Carolina Department of Information Technology -Transportation, GIS UnitGIS Data and Services ConsultantContact information:gishelp@ncdot.govCentury Center – Building B1020 Birch Ridge DriveRaleigh, NC 27610Hours of service: 9:00am - 5:00pm Monday – FridayContact instructions: Please send an email with any issues, questions, or comments regarding the State Maintained Roads data.

North Carolina Effective Flood zones: In 2000, the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) designated North Carolina a Cooperating Technical Partner State, formalizing an agreement between FEMA and the State to modernize flood maps. This partnership resulted in creation of the North Carolina Floodplain Mapping Program (NCFMP). As a CTS, the State assumed primary ownership and responsibility of the Flood Insurance Rate Maps (FIRMs) for all North Carolina communities as part of the National Flood Insurance Program (NFIP). This project includes conducting flood hazard analyses and producing updated, Digital Flood Insurance Rate Maps (DFIRMs). Floodplain management is a process that aims to achieve reduced losses due to flooding. It takes on many forms, but is realized through a series of federal, state, and local programs and regulations, in concert with industry practice, to identify flood risk, implement methods to protect man-made development from flooding, and protect the natural and beneficial functions of floodplains. FIRMs are the primary tool for state and local governments to mitigate areas of flooding. Individual county databases can be downloaded from https://fris.nc.gov Updated Jan 17th, 2025.

Important – This dataset should be used for historical purposes only. Adopted Land Use Recommendations derived from the District Plans and updated with Area Plans, Streetscape Plans, Pedscape Plans, Rezoning cases, and Plan Amendments. The database covers Charlotte's Sphere of Influence. For up-to-date future land use guidance, the Charlotte Future 2040 Policy Map dataset should be used.
