This data identifies current as well as proposed zoning and land use designations that are adopted by ordinances for unincorporated Pierce County. Zoning for cities is not included in this dataset. Zones are adopted by ordinances with specific technicalities for each community. Land Use designations offer a broad spectrum of allowable uses within a community. It is used to create a Comprehensive Plan Map or used for a Generalized Proposed Land Use Map or GPLUM. This dataset is also used to create the Land Use Designations theme, which covers proposed zoning use. The meaning of proposed is that the property might not be currently used for the purpose stated. It should be noted that Council adopted amendments to land use designations/zoning that will be effective at the beginning of 2006. Also, the Council is in the process of adopting the Mid-County Community Plan which amends land use designations/zoning as well. The Cities polygons found in the zoning data does not necessarily match the current cities boundaries. This is because the zoning data is updated once a year per the "Pierce County Comprehensive Plan" and does not allow for changes to be made during the year. The Comprehensive Plan is generally updated in November and generally becomes effective the following March. Use the "Cities in Pierce County" data set to determine current city boundaries. City boundaries can change more often than the current adopted Pierce County Zoning data. The zoning data contains the "Cities in Pierce County" boundaries at the time that the Pierce County Zoning was adopted. When determining the current zoning of a parcel near a city, the current "Cities in Pierce County" data set needs to be reviewed. Zoning codes for parcels within incorporated cities are determined by the city that the parcel is within.

This is a comprehensive building address point layer for Pierce County, Washington. Every unique house number has a point located within the building footprint of the addressed structure (where possible). Multi-unit structures, mobile home parks, and buildings with the same street address are further identified by mailstop in the attribute table. Some vacant parcels may or may not have an assigned temporary address point. A permanent address will be assigned to a vacant parcel if a permitted structure is built on that parcel.

DATA LINKED FROM PIERCE COUNTY OPEN DATA PORTAL - Clipped by City of PuyallupSee the metadata and original layer hereAbstract:This is a comprehensive building address point layer for Pierce County, Washington. Every unique house number has a point located within the building footprint of the addressed structure (where possible). Multi-unit structures, mobile home parks, and buildings with the same street address are further identified by mailstop in the attribute table. Some vacant parcels may or may not have an assigned temporary address point. A permanent address will be assigned to a vacant parcel if a permitted structure is built on that parcel. In unincorporated Pierce County, the address points were created individually by a team of technicians based on scanned address maps from the Planning Department and Assessor-Treasurer's Department site address data. For incorporated areas, source data was gathered either in the form of address points, tabular data, or we visited the city and took photos of their paper maps, then created points based on those photographs. Pierce County began construction of this data in 2008, and in the intervening years the data has been constantly refined through field inspection and review using various imagery source such as Google StreetView. Please be aware this data is constantly being updated and is only a snapshot at any given time. Data is provided to Pierce County by many jurisdictional sources throughout the County, and it may be neither complete or 100% accurate. If an error is found please contact the jurisdiction first to discuss the error.Purpose:The Address Point dataset is intended to improve emergency response, County business applications and processes, and provide a dependable address source County-wide. This dataset will also be used to enhance geocoding services.

With the new 2017 DFIRM map panels are not issued to individual National Flood Insurance Program - NFIP communities but the one seamless countywide map is apportioned based on area covered without consideration of corporate boundaries. The exception is along the King County border were portions of the cities of Pacific and Auburn are not shown in Pierce County but will be mapped in the King County countywide DFIRM as the majority of those cities lay in King County. The map panel starts with a new countywide identifier of ā53053Cā plus the four digit panel locator and the latest edited suffix, currently āEā. Each NFIP community has a unique number that is necessary to be shown on Elevation Certificates and for writing a flood insurance policy (e.g. Unincorporated Pierce County is 530138) in the past this community number was on the map panel issued to that community. Care must be taken to ensure the property community is identified on the appropriate documents. This number can be found on FEMA website: https://www.fema.gov/national-flood-insurance-program-community-status-book">https://www.fema.gov/national-flood-insurance-program-community-status-book
The FEMA map panels are derived from the USGS 7.5 Minute Quad grid. A FEMA 1"=2000' map covers the exact area at a 7.5 Minute Quadrangle. FEMA publishes maps at three scales, 1"=2000', 1"=1000' and 1"=500'. The map scale can be determined by the panel number of the map. The map numbering on a 1"=2000' series map is divisible by 25 (e.g. 0150, 0650). The 1"=2000' maps are quartered (by aliquot parts) to become the 1"=1000' map, the map numbering are divisible by 5 (e.g. 0140, 630). The 1"=1000' are sub-divided again to create the 1"=500' scale maps used in more populated areas (e.g.0137, 0626).
The purpose of the latecomers agreement as stated in Chapter 13.10 is to allow the County, pursuant to Chapter 35.91 RCW, to enter into Latecomers Agreements with a developer of real property for the installation of public sanitary sewer facilities. It is entirely within the County's sole discretion whether it elects to enter into Latecomers Agreements. In order for the County to execute a Latecomers Agreement, the County must be convinced that the eligibility requirements set forth in PCC 13.10.030 have been met and it is in the best interest of the County to enter into such an agreement so that the benefit to the County outweighs the cost to the County in entering into an agreement.

This line feature class shows channels that are used to carry water directly to another area. This data is part of the GPS Drainage Project being conducted by Puyallup Public Works Dept, and the Pierce County GIS Dept. The project utilizes GPS technology to collect data of the City's drainage infrastructure. The drainage project collected drainage features in Puyallup that were either public, private and commercial. Some features could not be collected due to private gates and were not included.

A conveyance is the transferring of legal title of property from person(s) or entity to another. A "Simultaneous Conveyance" is the transfer of multiple properties using a single survey document. Examples of this are plats, short plats, condominiums, etc. This data is part of a set of data called "Land Division - All". The "Simultaneous Conveyance" data contains the current aggregated highest-level formal land divisions (plats, short plats, large lots, etc). Meaning that the most recent "Simultaneous Conveyance" type is what is represented in this data. In other words, there are no overlapping "Simultaneous Conveyances" in this data, a newer "Simultaneous Conveyance" erases what was present before at that location. There are two data sets related to the "Simultaneous Conveyance" data: "SimCon First Division" and "SimCon Second Division". "SimCon First Division" contains the next level down of polygons within the "Simultaneous Conveyance". For example a plat that contained blocks and lots would only have its blocks in this data. A plat that contained lots and no blocks would have its lots in this data. "SimCon Second Division" contains the next level down of polygons within the "SimCon First Division" data. For example a plat that contained blocks and lots would have its lots in this data.
