This dataset contains polygon features representing the Chesapeake Bay Preservation Areas.

Data collected and complied by Department of City Planning maintained on as needed basis by the Department of City Planning.

Any land designated by the city pursuant to Part III of the Chesapeake Bay Preservation Area Designation and Management Regulations, 9 VAC 10-20-70, and section 10.1-2107 of the Code of Virginia. A Chesapeake Bay Preservation Area shall consist of a resource protection area and a resource management area.

The Chesapeake Bay and its tributaries constitute an important and productive estuarine system, providing economic and social benefits to the citizens of the City of Norfolk and the Commonwealth of Virginia. The health of the Chesapeake Bay is vital to maintaining the city's economy and the welfare of its citizens. The intent of the city and the purposes of the Overlay District are to: (1) protect existing high quality state waters; (2) restore all other state waters to a condition or quality that will permit all reasonable public uses and will support the propagation and growth of all aquatic life, including game fish, which might reasonably be expected to inhabit them; (3) safeguard the clean waters of the Commonwealth from pollution; (4) prevent any increase in pollution; (5) reduce existing pollution; and (6) promote water resource conservation in order to provide for the health, safety, and welfare of the present and future citizens of the city.

Any and all data sets are for graphical representations only and should not be used for legal purposes. Any determination of topography or contours, or any depiction of physical improvements, property lines or boundaries is for general information only and shall not be used for the design, modification, or construction of improvement to real property or for flood plain determination.

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 group includes the following items:

This dataset represents scenario-based hurricane evacuation zones for the corresponding counties.For full details on this dataset please see the VDEM Know Your Zone web page: https://www.vaemergency.gov/hurricane-evacuation-zone-lookup/For questions, please email gis@vdem.virginia.govZones were updated July 2020 in localities containing Navy and Air Force installations at the DOD's request. Zone names amended with '-N' cover a naval installations and names amended with '-AF' cover an air force installation allowing for specific messaging for the areas.Geographic sub zones added May 2024. Eastern Shore (Accomack and Northampton counties), Northern Neck (Lancaster, Northumberland, Richmond and Westmoreland counties), Middle Peninsula (Essex, Gloucester, Mathews and Middlesex counties), Peninsula (cities of Hampton, Poquoson and Newport News and James City and York counties) and Southside (cities of Chesapeake, Norfolk, Portsmouth, Suffolk and Virginia Beach and Isle of Wight county).Official Zone Colors should use the following:ZONE A | RED | HEX# CA3A4A | C16 / M92 / Y70 / K3 | R202 / G58 / B74ZONE B | ORANGE | HEX# CD7B29 | C73 / M49 / Y0 / K19 | R55 / G105 / B206 ZONE C | YELLOW | HEX# FFDB45 | C73 / M49 / Y0 / K19 | R55 / G105 / B206 ZONE D | BLUE | HEX# 6DA4D8 | C56 / M25 / Y0 / K0 | R109 / G164 / B216~~~~~~~This file represents hurricane evacuation scenario zones derived by Atkins from VA_COUNTY, a feature class representing locality (county and city) boundaries in the Commonwealth of Virginia. Final data deliverable was given to VDEM on: July 7, 2017. Zones shapefiles were created by subdividing the VA_COUNTY polygon feature into scenario-based hurricane evacuation zones by county, based on digitized zone linework.

This layer includes only parcels where final elevation certificates are available, with elevations reported in the vertical datum provided on the elevation certificate (NAVD 1988 or NGVD 1929).Elevation certificates were collected from the following 10 localities: (1)Chesapeake, (2)Franklin, (3)Hampton, (4)James City County, (5)Newport News, (6)Norfolk, (7)Portsmouth, (8)Southampton County, (9)Virginia Beach, and (10)York County. All elevation certificate information was entered by HRPDC staff. Localities included in the current inventory were able to provide digital elevation certificate copies.
