    Description

    Edges of tidal wetlands or locations along small streams in Fairfax County that fall under the Wetlands Zoning Ordinance. Development within near these edges often require a wetlands permit for land disturbances or related construction activities. This was captured from the 1 inch = 100 foot mylar zoning maps. There are 2 types of wetlands in this layer, vegitated and non-vegitated. Wetland boundaries are for illustrative purposes only and have no regulatory application.

    More Metadata

    The zoning layer constitutes the official zoning map for Loudoun County and is a component of the official zoning ordinance. It reflects expiration of grandfathering provisions of the 1972 Zoning Ordinance for certain proffered PD-H and R-Districts created prior to June 16, 1993. The zoning data is owned and maintained by Loudoun County, Virginia Department of Building and Development. Purpose: The purpose is to facilitate the administration of the zoning ordinance. The data are used extensively for taxation, subdivision review, permitting, and planning. Supplemental Information: Boundaries generally follow parcel lines, although there are several exceptions. The zoning data does not include zoning overlay districts, such as LDN, Floodplain, Quarry, or Mountainside Overlay Districts. Although the layer represents the official zoning map, a determination should be requested from the Zoning Administrator to verify zoning for a particular property. Data are stored in the corporate ArcSDE Geodatabase as a feature class. The coordinate system is Virginia State Plane (North), Zone 4501, datum NAD83 HARN. It is also important to note that in order to determine the Zoning Ordinance Amendments (ZOAMs) that are applicable to a particular parcel governed under the Revised 1993 Zoning Ordinance located within the Route 28 Tax District, the ZO_ZONE_DATE, Opt-In Letter, proffer statement, rezoning plat and/or concept development plan should be consulted as applicable. For an official determination regarding the applicable zoning, zoning ordinance text and/or whether proffered conditions may apply to a certain property, please contact the Zoning Administrator in the Department of Building and Development. Data are stored in the corporate ArcSDE Geodatabase as a feature class. The coordinate system is Virginia State Plane (North), Zone 4501, datum NAD83 HARN. Maintenance and Update Frequency: The zoning layer is updated on a daily basis as staff researches zoning for individual properties. Completeness Report: Features may have been eliminated or generalized due to scale and intended use. To assist Loudoun County, Virginia in the maintenance of the data, please provide any information concerning discovered errors, omissions, or other discrepancies found in the data. Ordinance: 1972, 1993 or Revised 1993; ordinance under which the property is administered; does not necessarily correspond to the zone (e.g. a property may have a zone code of PDH3 for the zone in accordance with the 1993 ordinance, but it should have a value of 1972 for ordinance if it is administered as another zone, such as PDH24, under the 1972 ordinance). The zone a property is administered as is not carried in the layer. Due to a court order, it is important to note that there are two developments that remain to be governed under 1972 Zoning Ordinance that are located outside of the Route 28 Tax District. These are the PD-H zoned areas of Mirror Ridge and Countryside. It is noted that these areas were already reflected under the 1972 Zoning Ordinance on previous zoning maps.

    Description

    Floodplain delineations were first added to the County tax maps in the 1970's for creeks and streams with watersheds of 1 square mile or greater. In 1977 all the studies on these large streams had been completed and a "Floodplain Overlay District" was created. Within several years this floodplain overlay district was depicted on the zoning maps. Again, these delineations were only for those creeks with drainage areas of over 1 square mile. A note in a 1981 memo to the Mapping Division about these delineations said, "...the County delineation of a Flood Plain Overlay District line on the tax map is treated here as a flag or general indicator of approximate location of this District's line. Normal development provides 2 field run topography professionally certified on which the floodplain elevations can be more accurately determined..." In 1985 the Zoning Ordinance was amended, an entire section on floodplains was added to Chapter 2 and the definition of what constituted a floodplain was significantly revised. Where as the Floodplain Overlay District had principally contained only those overbank areas inundated by the 100-yr storm along streams with drainage areas of 1 square mile or greater (i.e. 640 acres), the new definition included the overbank areas inundated by the 100-year storm along creeks with drainage areas of 70 acres and greater. But this change in the definition of floodplain created a problem for those who had become dependent on the tax maps to show them whether or not there was floodplain on a given property. These newly-defined floodplains were not yet studied or mapped and would only be mapped one property at a time, as each parcel containing these smaller floodplains submitted plans for development. When such parcels were developed, floodplain studies were required, and floodplain easements (later titled "floodplain and storm drainage easements") were recorded around these smaller floodplains. And as those easements were recorded, they were added to the tax maps. For all the floodplains which have been studied since 1985, the limits of the floodplain and storm drainage easements have been added to the tax maps, when such easements were required by the County Code or the Zoning Ordinance. But if a parcel has not yet been developed or if it was developed prior to 1985, there is usually no easement around the floodplain. There are also numerous cases where, for some reason, floodplain easements were recorded along small creeks with drainage areas well below 70 acres. These recorded "floodplain" easements were then added to the tax maps. THE RESULT: The tax maps cannot be used to definitively determine whether floodplain exists on a given parcel .There are approximately 900 miles of streams which meet the 70 acre drainage area requirement for floodplains, but to date (6/2003) almost 400 of these 900 miles remain unstudied. And if a stream has never been studied, no easement would have been recorded and thus the fact that it was a floodplain would not be reflected in the tax maps. Only after a determination of the drainage area is made can one know whether the overbank areas along a given creek meet the Zoning Ordinance definition of floodplain. Further if the drainage area is over 70 acres, only a floodplain study can determine the limits of the floodplain that is, how much of the overbank areas are inundated by the peak flow of the 100-yr storm. The layer for floodplains with drainage areas of over 1 square mile is good, but above that, it's inconsistent, especially in those areas which are minor floodplains (i.e. less than 360 acres of drainage area) and which were developed prior to 1985. The entire 850 or so miles of floodplain have not been mapped as unbroken corridors. And the "floodplain" here in Fairfax County, we're using the zoning ordinance definition which is the 100-yr water surface limits along streams with drainage areas of over 70 acres. This definition came into the zoning ordinance in 1985, so from that time, developers have had to study and map even these smaller floodplains on their developments and put them in easements. These easements have been captured on our tax maps since 1985, development by development, as the record plats were recorded. FEMA doesn't recognize as Special Flood Hazard Areas, many stream valleys that we would call floodplain. The layer currently on the data loader for floodplains is missing many segments of stream that are defined as floodplain per the zoning ordinance. Yet because of our zoning ordinance definition, this layer extends up in many areas far beyond where FEMA has mapped its 100-yr floodplains.
