This dataset is designed to represent and identify the general locations of city and state maintained parks within Lexington-Fayette County. One private park, Triangle Park, is included in the dataset due to its integration into downtown Lexington. The dataset is programmatically created and updated by converting the polygon centroids of the LFUCG Park boundary polygon layer to a point layer . The park property inventory is maintained by the LFUCG Division of Parks and changes are conveyed to the GIS Office for inclusion. This dataset participates in a topology with the parcel dataset to assure coincident geometry during parcel editing.As part of the basemap data layers, the park point map layer is an integral part of the Lexington Fayette-Urban County Government Geographic Information System. Basemap data layers are accessed by personnel in most LFUCG divisions for basic applications such as viewing, querying, and map output production. More advanced user applications may focus on thematic mapping, summarization of data by geography, or planning purposes (including defining boundaries, managing assets and facilities, integrating attribute databases with geographic features, spatial analysis, and presentation output).

The 2005 land use boundary data layer is an integral part of the planning data in the Lexington-Fayette-Urban County Government Geographic Information System. This information is used by the Division of Planning in case review, enforcement, and long range planning. GIS data layers are accessed by personnel in most LFUCG divisions for basic applications such as viewing, querying, and map output production.This dataset is designed to represent the existing land use during 2005 within Lexington-Fayette County. The land use in the county is surveyed by the Lexington-Fayette Urban County Government Division of Planning as an initial step in reviewing the comprehensive plan. The dataset is created by dissolving parcels with same land use and utilization of street centerlines as edges.The data is in ESRI feature class format, but can be exported to any number of supported formats, including shapefile and dxf. The native projection for the data is Kentucky State Plane North (NAD83), but may have been reprojected for use in other applications. Please check metadata to determine current projection.Code Values Provided by the LFUCG Division of Planning• DUP: Duplex housing - Two dwelling units sharing a common wall on one lot • TH: Townhomes - Attached dwelling units sharing a common wall, but not a floor to ceiling, with one dwelling unit per lot.
