This dataset is designed to represent and identify the boundaries of various overlay zones within Lexington-Fayette County. The overlay zones allow additional zoning requirements in addition to the underlying zoning category in areas that are imposed by the Urban County Council. Overlay zone boundaries are determined by the Planning Services section of the Lexington Fayette-County Division of Planning. Boundaries are defined by street centerlines and parcel boundaries. Upon approval the boundaries are forwarded from Planning Services to the GIS Office for inclusion in this dataset. Overlay zones include:Courthouse Area Design Overlay Zone - intended to encourage growth and redevelopment in the Downtown Area while preserving and protecting the unique features and characteristics of the area in conformity with the Comprehensive Plan and the design guidelines for the Courthouse Area adopted by the Lexington-Fayette Urban County Council.H1 - Historic District Overlay - intended to promote the economic and general welfare of the people of Fayette County and of the general public, and to ensure the complementary, orderly and efficient growth and development of Fayette County, it is deemed essential by the Lexington-Fayette Urban County Council that the qualities relating to the history of the county and a harmonious outward appearance of structures which preserve property values and attract tourists and residents alike be preserved. It is the finding of the Lexington-Fayette Urban County Council that the individual nature and character of this county cannot be properly maintained or enhanced unless its distinctive historic districts, landmarks, sites, neighborhoods, areas, places, structures, improvements, geological and archaeological sites are preserved.ND1 - Neighborhood Design Overlay - intended to promote the economic and general welfare of the people of Fayette County and of the general public; and to ensure the complementary, orderly and efficient growth and development of Fayette County, it is deemed essential by the Lexington-Fayette Urban County Council that the qualities relating to the visual characteristics that give a distinct identity to an area and a harmonious appearance of structures that stabilize the area, (including residential neighborhoods and nonresidential or mixed use areas) and/or maintain their character, be protected, conserved and preserved.Paris Pike Overlay - intended for lands adjoining the Paris Pike between Johnston Road (to the south) and the Paris city limits (to the north); and the regulations hereunder shall be established in addition to the zone classifications shown on the Zoning Map Atlas for the subject areas, and the applicable regulations contained in this Zoning Ordinance. The use, dimensions and other requirements for said zones, as provided in the Zoning Ordinance, shall apply unless further restricted hereunder. Where there are conflicts between the regulations hereunder, and those contained elsewhere in the Zoning Ordinance, the more restrictive shall apply.Transition Area Overlay - intended to be used in conjunction with an EAR zoning category to allow for the development of residential uses and civic, cultural, religious, and educational institutions on lands which are located immediately adjacent to Community Center zones.

Zoning of the Paris Rainwater Regulations
The Paris rainwater zoning regulations, called “ParisPluie”, have been enforceable since March 2018. It aims to manage water from rain as close as possible to where it falls and thus limit its admission into the sanitation network.
Its principle consists of obligatorily removing within 24 hours, the first millimeters of rain falling on any land or together of land, public or private, as long as its surface area is eligible for rainwater zoning regulations. We are talking about minimum volume reduction (4, 8, 12 or 16mm depending on the location). The excess volume is transferred to the sanitation network.
The optimum objective which can of course be sought, corresponds to the total disconnection of rainwater, which means no discharge into the sanitation network whatever whatever the type of rain up to ten-year rain (48mm in 4 hours).
The Parisian rain zoning map was constructed according to the rules of hydraulic operation of the sanitation network and the geological characteristics of the basement.
To know the reduction zone in which a project is located (minimum objective to be achieved), it is the location of its connection point to the sanitation network that counts ( address of the existing connection or to be created).
Particularity of the hatched area: to this area, the additional requirement applies, for any project with a reference area of more than 2,500 m², to regulate the leakage rate at 10 L/s/ha of the discharge of volumes of rainwater not removed towards the sanitation network, at least until the ten-year rain.

Zoning of the Paris Rainfall Regulation
The Paris Rainfall Zoning Regulation, called "ParisPluie", has been enforceable since March 2018. It aims to manage the water of rain as close as possible to where it falls and thus limit its admission into the sewerage network.
Its principle consists of obligatorily cutting down in 24 hours the first millimeters of rain falling on any ground or together of land, public or private, as long as its area is eligible for the rain-fed zoning by-law. We are talking about minimum volume reduction (4, 8, 12 or 16mm depending on the location). The excess volume is transferred to the sewerage network.
The optimum objective, which can of course be sought, corresponds to the total disconnection of rainwater, which means no discharge into the sewerage network whatever regardless of the type of rain up to ten-year rain (48mm in 4 hours).
The map of the Parisian rain zoning was constructed according to the rules of hydraulic operation of the sewerage network and the geological characteristics of the basement.
To know the abatement zone in which a project is located (minimum objective to be achieved), it is the location of its connection point to the sewerage network that counts ( address of the existing connection or to be created).
Special feature of the hatched area: in this area, the additional requirement applies, for any project with a reference area of more than 2,500 m², to regulate the leakage rate at 10 L/s/ha from the discharge of uncut rainwater volumes to the sewerage network, at least until the ten-year rain.

Zoning is a tool used to regulate the use of land in Kenosha County in a manner that serves to promote the general welfare of its citizens, the quality of the environment and the conservation of its resources. Zoning also implements a land use plan. Zoning in and of itself is the delineation of areas or zones into specific districts which provides uniform regulations and requirements that govern the use, placement, spacing, and size of land and buildings. The Kenosha County Department of Planning and Development, Division of County Development administers the zoning maps and the zoning ordinance for the unincorporated areas of Kenosha County, including the Towns of Brighton, Paris, Randall, Somers and Wheatland.The zoning districts are delineated on maps that have been adopted by the Kenosha County Board of Supervisors and the towns that partner in zoning.The regulations and requirements for zoning districts and land use are encompassed within an ordinance of which in Kenosha County is called the Kenosha County General Zoning and Shoreland/Floodplain Zoning Ordinance. This ordinance is also Chapter 12 of the Municipal Code of Kenosha County.This data is updated on an as-needed basis, as zoning changes are made.
European Directive 2002/49/EC of 25 June 2002 on the assessment and management of environmental noise entails for EU Member States an assessment of environmental noise in the vicinity of major transport infrastructure (land and air) and in large agglomerations. This assessment is carried out in particular through the development of strategic ‘so-called’ noise maps.
These maps are intended to be reviewed and revised every 5 years. The first series were developed in 2007 (1st deadline) and 2012 (2nd maturity). 2017 is therefore the year of the 3 rd deadline.
CBS are required in particular for railway infrastructure with traffic exceeding 30,000 train crossings per year. For major road and rail transport infrastructure, the CBS shall be established, adopted and approved under the authority of the Prefect of the Department: the Noise Card Approval Order is dated November 16, 2018
Noise maps are developed according to the indicators established by the European Directive, namely Lden (Day Evening Night Level) and Ln (Night Level). • Day/day: [6h-18h] • Evening/evening: [18h-22h] • Night/night: [22h-6h] The Lden and Ln indicators correspond to a defined energy average over the periods (Day/Black/Night) for Lden and (Night) for Ln. The corresponding results are expressed in A or dB(A) weighted decibels.
Noise-exposed areas (type C map) represent areas where limit values are exceeded: Lden Index >73 dB(A) Index Ln > 65 dB(A)

The LUCAS NZ Land Use Map 2020 v005 is composed of New Zealand-wide land use classes (12) nominally at 31 December 1989, 31 December 2007, 31 December 2012, 31 December 2016, and 31 December 2020. These date boundaries are dictated by the Paris Agreement and former Kyoto Protocol. The data can therefore be used to create a map at any of the nominal mapping dates depending on what field is symbolised.
Land use areas and areas of land-use change, identified in the LUCAS NZ Land Use Map, are used to calculate greenhouse gas emissions and removals for the Land Use, Land Use Change and Forestry (LULUCF) sector of New Zealand’s annual Greenhouse Gas Inventory and the Biennial Transparency Report. These reports are submitted to meet New Zealand’s reporting and accounting obligations under the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC) and the Paris Agreement.

N_URBAINE_UNITE_2020_ZSUP_FLA_000 Urban units 2020 for Corrèze and neighbouring departments The objects on the outer periphery of the neighbouring departments are not complete if it overflows over the next department. Based on IGN INSEE and GeoFLA files https://www.insee.fr/fr/information/4802589 The concept of urban unity is based on the continuity of the building and the number of inhabitants. Urban units are built in metropolitan France and in the overseas departments according to the following definition: a municipality or group of municipalities with a continuous building area (no cut-off of more than 200 metres between two buildings) with at least 2,000 inhabitants. If the urban unit is located in a single municipality, it is referred to as an isolated city. If the urban unit extends over several municipalities, and each of these municipalities concentrates more than half of its population in the continuous built-up area, it is referred to as a multi-communal agglomeration. If one of these municipalities concentrates less than half of its population in the continuous built-up area but concentrates 2,000 or more inhabitants there, then it will constitute an isolated urban unit. The agglomeration of Paris is the multi-communal agglomeration containing Paris. Finally, “community outside urban unit” means municipalities not assigned to an urban unit. These thresholds, 200 metres for the continuity of the building and 2,000 inhabitants for the population of built-up areas, are the result of recommendations adopted at international level. For example, in the European population census regulation, population statistics based on zoning into urban units are expected. The calculation of the space between two buildings is done by analysing the building databases of the National Institute for Geographical and Forestry Information (IGN). It takes account of cuts in the urban fabric such as rivers in the absence of bridges, graveries, height differences. Since the 2010 division, certain public spaces (cmeteries, stadiums, aerodromes, parking lots, etc.), industrial or commercial land (factory, activity areas, shopping centres, etc.) have been treated as buildings with the 200-metre rule to connect inhabited construction areas, unlike previous divisions where these spaces were only cancelled in the calculation of distances between buildings. Urban units are redefined periodically. The current zoning, dated 2020, is established with reference to the population known in the 2017 census and the administrative geography of the territory as of 1 January 2020. The previous fiscal year, dated 2010, was based on the 2007 census and the administrative geography of the territory as of 1 January 2010. A first demarcation of cities and agglomerations was carried out on the occasion of the 1954 census. New urban units were then formed in the 1962, 1968, 1975, 1982, 1990 and 1999 censuses. Urban units can span several departments or even cross national borders (see International Urban Unit). The division into urban units concerns all the municipalities of metropolitan France and the overseas departments.
