The County's Water and Sewer Plan assigns a water category and a sewer category to every property in the County. These service area categories serve two functions:They identify areas approved or planned for community water or sewer service and areas intended for service by individual (on-site) systemsThey identify a mechanism for staging community service for those areas planned for community service. The mechanism consists of the use of service area categories W-1 through W- 5 (for water) and S-1 through S-5 (for sewer).The Maryland Department of the Environment (MDE) requires the County to prepare a comprehensive update of the Water and Sewer Plan every three years. Between comprehensive updates, the County approves amendments to the plan (such as service area categories, new or revised policies, and technical information) through procedures described in Chapter 1 of the Plan. The County Executive, acting through the Department of Environmental Protection (DEP), prepares the Plan's comprehensive updates and also provides recommendations to the Council for action on proposed amendments. DEP, with the assistance of other agencies, develops some amendments, typically those that involve policy issues or category changes that affect groups of properties. Property owners also propose amendments, usually those involving category changes for single properties or larger tracts intended for subdivision of new lots. Under state law, the County Council is responsible for approving the plan and its amendments. MDE maintains an oversight authority over the County’s Water and Sewer Plan and its amendments. The agency administers regulations that each county must follow in the preparation of its comprehensive plan, and acts to approve, approve with modifications, or disapprove the Plan or any Plan amendment submitted by the County. As part of this process, MDE seeks guidance from the Maryland Department of Planning for consistency with local and State planning use goals, policies and objectives.For more information, contact: GIS Manager Information Technology & Innovation (ITI) Montgomery County Planning Department, MNCPPC T: 301-650-5620

This data set is a digital soil survey and generally is the most detailed level of soil geographic data developed by the National Cooperative Soil Survey. The information was prepared by digitizing maps, by compiling information onto a planimetric correct base and digitizing, or by revising digitized maps using remotely sensed and other information. This data set consists of georeferenced digital map data and computerized attribute data. The map data are in a soil survey area extent format and include a detailed, field verified inventory of soils and miscellaneous areas that normally occur in a repeatable pattern on the landscape and that can be cartographically shown at the scale mapped. A special soil features layer (point and line features) is optional. This layer displays the location of features too small to delineate at the mapping scale, but they are large enough and contrasting enough to significantly influence use and management. The soil map units are linked to attributes in the National Soil Information System relational database, which gives the proportionate extent of the component soils and their properties.

Roads are defined as the edge of the improved surface, including the shoulder, if the road is either asphalt or concrete. The gravel portions of shoulders shall not be captured. Road polygons shall be split into equal segments at intersections using triangulation. Dirt, gravel, and private paved roads will be captured to their apparent edge of travel surface. This data was captured for use in general mapping at a scale of 1:100. Countywide data updated Spring 2020.

All natural streams, regardless of width, captured as line features; streams under 20 feet in width coded as a single line stream and streams 20 feet or greater in width coded as a stream centerline. All stream lines will be captured along the midpoint of the stream, regardless of width. In the case of a pond or lake, straight line segments will be used to connect the logical inflow and outflow point(s) of the water body.

A Site Plan is a detailed plan, required only in certain zones, that shows proposed development on a site in relation to immediately adjacent areas. It indicates roads, walks, parking areas, buildings, landscaping, open space, recreation facilities, lighting, etc. Site Plan review is required of all floating zones and of most overlay zones. It is also required in some zones when using optional method of development provisions. Further, certain parking facilities that fall under the provision of the off-street parking section of the Zoning Ordinance are also subject to Site Plan review.

A land classification system under the Montgomery County Zoning Ordinance intended to regulate the land uses and buildings permitted in each zone, excluding road right-of-ways. Certain uses are permitted by right and others as conditional uses. Any use not expressly permitted is prohibited. The Ordinance also excludes certain uses from each zone. The text of the Zoning Ordinance specifies the permitted uses, the bulk (massing) of buildings, the required yards, the necessary off-street parking and other prerequisites to obtain permission to develop. Zoning Blocks: The main block boundaries identifying the base zone for parcels. Overlay Zones: Various overlay zones apply modifying factors to standards and uses normally found on the zoning blocks beneath them. Zoning History Annotations: Zoning case history and special exception notations Overlay TDR: Various overlay zones apply modifying factors to standards and uses normally found on the zoning blocks beneath them.

Since 2011, DOT Bikeways Coordinator has enlisted the help of TEBS-GIS (then DTS) to prepare bikeways data for the annual Bike-to-Work Day folding paper map distributed each Spring. A PDF of the latest map can be downloaded here: https://gis.montgomerycountymd.gov/folding_bike_map/MoCoBike.pdfAs these future bikeways may or may not be proposed along some physical geography that existed at the time of our most recent aerial imagery, the Drawn field describes whether the bikeway was drawn by tracing features on an orthophoto or drawn at an estimated location.The Est_Completion field lists the estimated completion date at time of publication of the most recent Bike-to-Work Day map. This date is subject to change on future years' maps.Can be downloaded from the GIS Data Portal here.
