Updates to Tacoma Zoning through the Home in Tacoma Project were adopted on November 19, 2024 and are effective February 1, 2025.Dataset includes fields for overlays including: Airport Compatibility District, Conservation District, Historic Special Review, Planned Residential Development, Port of Tacoma Transitions, Special Review District, South Tacoma Groundwater Protection, South Tacoma Manufacturing Industrial Center, and View Sensitive Districts.The broad purposes of the zoning provisions of the Tacoma Municipal Code are to protect and promote the public health, safety, and general welfare, and to implement the policies of the Comprehensive Plan of the City of Tacoma. More specifically, the zoning code is intended to:a. Provide a guide for the physical development of the City in order to: (1) Preserve the character and quality of residential neighborhoods; (2) Foster convenient, harmonious, and workable relationships among land uses; and (3) Achieve the arrangement of land uses described in the Comprehensive Plan.b. Promote the economic stability of existing land uses that are consistent with the Comprehensive Plan and protect them from intrusions by inharmonious or harmful land uses.c. Promote intensification of land use at appropriate locations, consistent with the Comprehensive Plan, and ensure the provision of adequate open space for light, air, and fire safety. d. Foster development patterns that offer alternatives to automobile use by establishing densities and intensities that help make frequent transit service feasible, and encourage walking and bicycling. This emphasis on alternative transportation will also have air quality benefits and will conserve energy. e. Establish review procedures to ensure that new development is consistent with the provisions of this chapter and all other requirements of this code.Contact: City of Tacoma Planning & Development Services

Boundaries for Ordinances since 2008 that changed Tacoma Zoning. See historic paper maps for rezones prior to 2008. Errors in historic paper map have been noted in this dataset. If an area has been rezoned multiple times with different boundaries since 2008, the resulting polygon is represented as a region (overlapping polygon).Boundaries are symbolized as area-wide and site-specific.

Generalized Land Use Designation (effective August 1, 2013) within the City of Tacoma that depict the future intended development pattern. Also known as the Tacoma Future Land Use Map (FLUM). The official land use designation map for Tacoma illustrating the future land use pattern. In 2013 the Tacoma Planning Commission replaced the existing “Intensity” approach in the land use designation to a more simplified and easily understood classification system. This is a multi-year process. For 2013, the changes include: (1) removing the “Intensity” designation for all Mixed-Use Centers and Shoreline Districts; and (2) establishing a new framework to better align the land use designations for Mixed-Use Centers, Shorelines and other uses of land with their corresponding zoning classifications. The map is used to illustrate the General Land Use Plan (GLUP). The GLUP is the land use element of the comprehensive plan, which is required by the Growth Management Act (GMA). It is a statement of goals and policies to guide the development of land in the city and also expresses the City's intent for the development of land within the designated urban growth area of the city. The development concept is intended to concentrate growth; strengthen the city's existing development pattern; protect single-family housing neighborhoods; and increase mobility by creating attractive urban living and working environments which facilitate walking, cycling, and public transit. Land use designations are used to determine appropriate zoning classifications.Learn more at One Tacoma: Comprehensive Plan.Data last updated 7/26/2018.

Vector polygon map data of city limits from Tacoma, Washington containing 280 features.

City limits GIS (Geographic Information System) data provides valuable information about the boundaries of a city, which is crucial for various planning and decision-making processes. Urban planners and government officials use this data to understand the extent of their jurisdiction and to make informed decisions regarding zoning, land use, and infrastructure development within the city limits.

By overlaying city limits GIS data with other layers such as population density, land parcels, and environmental features, planners can analyze spatial patterns and identify areas for growth, conservation, or redevelopment. This data also aids in emergency management by defining the areas of responsibility for different emergency services, helping to streamline response efforts during crises..

This city limits data is available for viewing and sharing as a map in a Koordinates map viewer. This data is also available for export to DWG for CAD, PDF, KML, CSV, and GIS data formats, including Shapefile, MapInfo, and Geodatabase.

Tacoma land use designations (zoning). Regulations are detailed in the Tacoma Municipal Code, Volume II, Title 13, Chapter 13.06. Please see the online link in the Citation section. Zoning designations must be consistent with the Future Land Use Plan Map and policies.

Topographic features (hills, etc.) cause wind-speedup effects. This effect can be treated in one of three ways:

1) design for the windspeed listed on the map, 2) design for 85 mph and increase the pressures by the Kzt multiplier listed on the map, or 3) complete topographic analysis per ASCE-7.

This feature layer is intended for analysis purposes. For display, please use the map image layer: Land Use Designations (Tacoma).The Future Land Use Map illustrates the City’s intended future land use pattern through the geographic distribution of residential and commercial areas, the designation of mixed-use and manufacturing/industrial centers, as well as shoreline and residential designations. This land use distribution was a result of analysis of the urban form policies, existing land use and zoning, development trends, anticipated land use needs and desirable growth and development goals. The land use designations are established in the One Tacoma Comprehensive Plan and provide a basis for applying zoning districts and for making land use decisions.
