This group includes the following items: 1. Hampton Roads Elevation Certificate Building Footprints: includes only building footprints where final elevation certificates are available, with elevations reported in the vertical datum provided on the elevation certificate (NGVD 29 or NAVD 88). 2. Hampton Roads Elevation Certificate Parcels: includes only parcels where final elevation certificates are available, with elevations reported in the vertical datum provided on the elevation certificate (NGVD 29 or NAVD 88). Where necessary, conversions from NGVD 1929 to NAVD 1988 were completed using the VERTCON (NOAA NGS, 2019). Elevation certificates were collected from the following 12 localities: Chesapeake, Franklin, Gloucester County, Hampton, James City County, Newport News, Norfolk, Portsmouth, Southampton County, Suffolk, Virginia Beach, and York County. Localities included in the current inventory were able to provide digital elevation certificate copies. This inventory is not complete for the region, and elevation certificates will continue to be added to the database when available. The elevation certificate database was developed by HRPDC staff with support from the Center for Geospatial, Science, Education, and Analytics at Old Dominion University (ODU). We would like to acknowledge Manuel Solano (ODU) for his contributions to the Gloucester County and City of Norfolk elevation certificate data development.Building footprints are courtesy the VGIN statewide building footprints layer and locality GIS departments. Building attributes and parcels are courtesy of the Hampton Roads Regional Parcels layer and locality GIS departments. Current flood zones are courtesy of the FEMA National Flood Hazard Layer, with base flood elevations reported in NAVD 1988 where available. A complete list of attribute descriptions is available here. Created 2/8/2019Updated 10/10/2020

This layer depicts the Chesapeake Bay Preservation Act (CBPA) areas in Hampton Roads, Virginia, categorized into three delineations:

These data were automated to provide an accurate high-resolution historical shoreline of Hampton Roads, Elizabeth and Nansemond Rivers, Vicinity of Norfolk, Virginia suitable as a geographic information system (GIS) data layer. These data are derived from shoreline maps that were produced by the NOAA National Ocean Service including its predecessor agencies which were based on an office inte...

This layer was assembled from data from Esri's SSURGO Downloader in May 2018. Esri compiled the most popular fields from the many tables in the SSURGO data into one layer. Individual watersheds were downloaded, merged, and clipped for Hampton Roads. Follow link for full metadata.

FEMA flood zones for multiple localities in Hampton Roads, Virginia were combined into one layer. Latest update: September 2019

Existing active transportation features in Hampton Roads including bike lanes, buffered bike lanes, one- and two-way cycle tracks, shared-use paths, sharrows, shoulders, and sidewalks. Last updated June 2020. Compiled and maintained by the HRTPO.

These data provide an accurate high-resolution shoreline compiled from imagery of HAMPTON HARBOR TO FROST POINT, NH . This vector shoreline data is based on an office interpretation of imagery that may be suitable as a geographic information system (GIS) data layer. This metadata describes information for both the line and point shapefiles. The NGS attribution scheme 'Coastal Cartographic Object Attribute Source Table (C-COAST)' was developed to conform the attribution of various sources of shoreline data into one attribution catalog. C-COAST is not a recognized standard, but was influenced by the International Hydrographic Organization's S-57 Object-Attribute standard so the data would be more accurately translated into S-57.
