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 screening tool based on a simple analysis of 3 core equity variables to define the highest concentration of vulnerable populations. EFAs are derived from high concentrations of low income households, people of color, and people speaking English less than very well. EFA analysis is a dichotomy: tracts are either designated an EFA or not. These areas can be used as a tool for analysis of racial equity and social justice issues such as access to opportunities and resources, employment, transportation, health, housing and government services, and provide groundwork for equity analysis to support ongoing and future planning efforts.Field Names and Descriptors:GEOID10: Census tract identifier; a concatenation of the state Federal Information Processing Series (FIPS) code, county FIPS codes, and census tract code (Number Field)tract: U.S. Census Tract labeltractID: U.S. Census Tract label EFA_Fnl: EFA Status (YES = within, NO = outside)EFA_FnlNum: EFA Status code (2 is an EFA, 1 = outside, not an EFA) PoC_scoreEFA: People of Color Index score (0-3) = low to high concentrationCHAS80_scoreEFA: Low HH Income Index score (0-3) = low to high concentration Source: 2017 Comprehensive Housing Affordability Strategy (CHAS), HUDPoCCHASIndex_EFA: Addition of People of Color and Low Income Index scores (combined scores of 5 or 6 qualify as an EFA)EngLTvw_ScoreEFA: Speak English Less Than Very Well Index score (0-3) = low to high concentration.
