Planning Area Boundaries are design to facilitate long range planning at the community level. Roanoke County’s community planning areas were established in the mid-1980s as part of the 1985 Comprehensive Plan. Planning area boundaries were based upon a combination of tax map limits, elementary school districts, and community characteristics. Most of the names for the planning areas are loosely based on community elementary schools and fire and rescue stations. The planning area boundaries were updated in 2011 to correspond with recent planning area studies. Planning Area Boundaries are maintained within the Administration Feature and is dissolved out weekly.Administration is a polygon feature consisting of the smallest statistical areas bounded by visible features such as roads, streams, railroad tracks, and mountain ridges, as well as by nonvisible boundaries such as jurisdictional limits, school district, public safety boundaries, voting precincts, and census blocks. This methodology allows for single stream editing to move coincidental boundaries across many aggregate datasets simultaneously. Administration is maintained though an ArcGIS topology class in conjunction with County Parcels and Zoning. The topology prevents self-intersection and gaps, while ensuring complete coverage amongst the participating features.
