The purpose of the design overlay district is to protect developed areas of the City characterized by uniqueness of established neighborhood character, architectural coherence and harmony, or vulnerability to deterioration. This is accomplished through controlling the patterns of architectural design and development in residential and commercial neighborhoods, which may include new construction, alterations, and demolitions. Only exterior changes to buildings, structures, and sites within public view may be regulated. Design Overlay Districts are also used for GIS mapping and analysis.

This dataset consists of tick sampling and microclimate data from Exmoor, Richmond and New Forest study sites; as well as ARCGIS risk maps that model tick abundance driven by climate surfaces and host abundance. Tick sampling data (91 files, each representing a day of sampling) indicate tick abundance (distinguishing larvae, nymphs, adult males and adult females), vegetation height, soil moisture, temperature and relative humidity. Static risk map files indicate modeled tick abundance: 251 landcover files for the three sites, as well as 36 ArcView map files. The study is part of the NERC Rural Economy and Land Use (RELU) programme. Many people take pleasure from activities in forests and wild lands in the UK and others are being encouraged to participate. Unfortunately, there are risks and one of the most insidious is the possibility (albeit tiny) of acquiring a disease from wild animals; for example, ticks can be vectors of the bacterial infection leading to Lyme Disease. Both diagnosis and treatment can be problematic so prevention of acquiring such disease is highly desirable. Surprisingly little is known about how best to warn countryside users about the potential for disease without scaring them away or spoiling their enjoyment. Answering such questions was the goal of this project, and required the integration of a diverse set of scientific skills, and an understanding of the views of those who manage countryside, those who have contracted zoonotic diseases and those who access the land. This project combined knowledge from three strands of work, namely risk assessment, risk perception and communication, and scenario analysis. The study sites were selected to provide a range of environmental conditions and countryside use. Peri-urban parkland, accessible lowland forest and heath and remote upland forest were chosen as represented by Richmond Park on the fringe of Greater London, the New Forest in Southern England, and Exmoor in South West England. The following additional data from this same research project are available at the UK Data Archive under study number 6892 (see online resources): Lyme disease risk perception data resulting from tick imagery vignette experiments, Lyme disease patient interviews and surveys, residents and countryside staff focus groups, forest manager interviews, and multiple scoring procedures of animal social representation; as well as Lyme and tick risk communication data resulting from interviews with organisations and content analysis of risk warning information leaflets, Further documentation for this study may be found through the RELU Knowledge Portal and the project's ESRC funding award web page (see online resources).

Street Frontage uses linear features which are digitized along the inner edge of sidewalks, coincident with the frontage of either parcel properties or building footprints. Instead of creating two separate feature classes, the Street Frontage features contain a “Frontage Type” attribute field, which is used to identify the street frontage zoning for the feature; Street-Oriented Commercial Frontage, or Priority Street. While a single linear feature cannot be attributed as both zoning types, two separate street frontage features may be overlapping (duplicated features with alternate FrontageType attributes), such that locations will show/map both zoning types exists along a street frontage. GIS mapping that shows only one of the two FrontageTypes exists means that there are not coincident features. Street-Oriented Commercial Frontage: Buildings on streets that are designated as Street-Oriented Commercial must have ground floor commercial uses, which activate the street edge and work toward creating a more walkable environment. Streets which are significant to a given property and the larger neighborhood, where buildings are required to face and engage with the street through fenestration and siting requirements.

Plan of Development Overlay Districts are enabled by Richmond City Code Section 30-950.

The intent is to “provide a means whereby City Council may establish overlay districts to determine compliance with the technical requirements of [the zoning ordinance] as well as compliance with site planning criteria in this chapter such as the relationship among the various elements of the plan (preservation of landscape, arrangement of buildings and spaces, functions of yards and spaces, parking and circulation), the relationship to the arrangement of abutting sites and to minimize potential adverse influences on and ensure compatibility with nearby uses”.Within each Plan of Development Overlay District, construction of any new building or any addition to an existing building when such new building or addition occupies more than 1,000 square feet of lot coverage will be required to undergo a Plan of Development review.Section 30-950.4 establishes specific districts. The Westover Hills Boulevard/Forest Hill Avenue Plan of Development Overlay District POD-1 does not have any particular requirements and new buildings and additions will be evaluated according to the criteria listed above. The Arts District Station/Monroe Ward POD Overlay District POD-2was adopted as a recommendation of the Pulse Corridor Plan, and all new buildings or additions in this district will be evaluated according to the six form elements outlined in the plan. Please refer to the Arts District/Monroe Ward POD Overlay Design Guidelines for more information about this process.
