The data set provides information for regulators, planners, and others interested in Future Land Use changes, and allows them to quantify those changes over time using GIS. This data set is intended to serve as a resource data set. When a parcel has multiple land uses, the dominant land use is shown. Assessing records and orthophotography were the main sources used to attribute each tax parcel with land use information. The City of Newport News may change the parcel based polygon coding based on more in depth analysis and field inspection.

The National Flood Hazard Layer (NFHL) data incorporates all Flood Insurance Rate Map (FIRM) databases published by the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA), and any Letters of Map Revision (LOMRs) that have been issued against those databases since their publication date. It is updated on a monthly basis. The FIRM Database is the digital, geospatial version of the flood hazard information shown on the published paper FIRMs. The FIRM Database depicts flood risk information and supporting data used to develop the risk data. The primary risk classifications used are the 1-percent-annual-chance flood event, the 0.2-percent-annual-chance flood event, and areas of minimal flood risk. The FIRM Database is derived from Flood Insurance Studies (FISs), previously published FIRMs, flood hazard analyses performed in support of the FISs and FIRMs, and new mapping data, where available. The FISs and FIRMs are published by FEMA.

This layer depicts the Chesapeake Bay Preservation Act (CBPA) areas in Newport News, Virginia, categorized into three delineations: Resource Protection Areas (RPA) include both tidal and connected non-tidal wetlands, as well as tidal shores, and a landward riparian buffer of 100 feet which has the greatest potential to protect and benefit water quality. Resource Management Areas (RMA) area adjacent to the RPA and have the potential to damage water quality without proper management. Only those RMA areas that have a designated boundary are in included in this layer. Some localities define the RMA as the remaining area of the locality that is not in the RPA and therefore no separate boundary is needed.Intensely Developed Areas (IDA) must be designated in the city or county code. Not all localities have designated IDAs. An IDA overlays redevelopment areas that may otherwise be subjected to stricter enforcement of the RPA.Note that the areas provided in this layer are meant for general planning use. Consult with local CBPA staff for questions about the determination and enforcement of CBPA areas.

Newport News, an independent city on the Virginia Peninsula, is the 5th largest city in Virginia. Located along the shore of the James River, Newport News has a population of just under 190,000. Shortly after Jamestown was founded in 1607, English settlers began clearing land along the James River that included what is now known as Newport News.The city’s name can be traced back to 1619 when it was found in records with spellings that ranged from Newportes Newes to Newports Newes. Legend has it that the city was named in honor of Capt. Christopher Newport, commander of the Susan Constant, the flagship of the English fleet that landed in Jamestown.Prior to the Civil War, Newport News was a rural community, but it began to grow after Newport News Shipyard was established, attracting thousands of workers. What was once a farming community quickly grew into a city during the 19th century.

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).

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.
