This hosted feature layer has been published in RI State Plane Feet NAD 83.THIS IS A FUTURE LAND USE MAP CREATED IN 2006. THIS DOES NOT SHOW CURRENT 2025 LAND USE LAND COVER.The Land Use 2025 dataset was developed for the Division of Planning, RI Statewide Planning Program as part of an update to a state land use plan. It evolved from a GIS overlay analysis of land suitability and availability and scenario planning for future growth. The analysis focused on the 37% of the State identified as undeveloped and unprotected in a land cover analysis from RIGIS 1995 land use land cover data. The project studied areas for suitability for conservation and development, based on the location of key natural resources and public infrastructure. The results identified areas with future use potential, under three categories of development intensity and two categories of conservation.These data are presented in the Plan as Figure 121-02-(01), Future Land Use Map. Land Use 2025: State Land Use Policies and Plan was published by the RI Statewide Planning Program on April 13, 2006. The intent of the Plan is to bring together the elements of the State Guide Plan such as natural resources, economic development, housing and transportation to guide conservation and land development in the State. The Plan directs the state and communities to concentrate growth inside the Urban Services Boundary (USB) and within potential growth centers in rural areas. It establishes different development approaches for urban and rural areas.These data have several purposes and applications: They are intended to be used as a policy guide for directing growth to areas most capable of supporting current and future developed uses and to direct growth away from areas less suited for development. Secondly, these data are a guide to assist the state and communities in making land use policies. It is important to note these data are a generalized portrayal of state land use policy. These are not a statewide zoning data. Zoning matters and individual land use decisions are the prerogative of local governments. The land use element is the over arching element in Rhode Island's State Guide Plan. The Plan articulates goals, objectives and strategies to guide the current and future land use planning of municipalities and state agencies. The purpose of the plan is to guide future land use and to present policies under which state and municipal plans and land use activities will be reviewed for consistency with the State Guide Plan. The Map is a graphical representation of recommendations for future growth patterns in the State. It depicts where different intensities of development (e.g. parks, urban development, non-urban development) should occur by color. The Map contains a USB that shows where areas with public services supporting urban development presently exist, or are likely to be provided, through 2025. Within the USB, most land is served by public water service; many areas also have public sewer service, as well as, public transit. Also included on the map are growth centers which are potential areas for development and redevelopment outside of the USB. Growth Centers are envisioned to be areas that will encourage development that is both contiguous to existing development with low fiscal and environmental impacts.NOTE: These data will be updated when the associated plan is updated or upon an amendment approved by the State Planning Council. NOTE: Wetlands were not categorized within the Land Use 2025 dataset.When using this dataset, the RIGIS wetlands dataset should be overlaid as a mask. Full descriptions of the categories and intended uses can be found within Section 2-4, Future Land Use Patterns, Categories, and Intended Uses, of the Plan. https://www.planning.ri.gov/documents/guide_plan/landuse2025.pdf

The Growth Centers data on the Future Land Use Map were developed for the Division of Planning, RI Statewide Planning Program as part of an update to a state land use plan. These data are included in the Plan as Figure 121-02-(01), Future Land Use Map. The growth centers were an end product of a GIS overlay analysis of land suitability and scenario planning for future growth. Initially the factors for centers included 9 urban communities; Providence, East Providence, Pawtucket, Cranston, Central Falls, Warwick, West Warwick, Newport and Woonsocket as potential urban centers as opposed to identifying specific neighborhoods in those municipalities. Historical downtowns and traditional mixed-use central business cores in urban fringe / suburban communities were included as potential town centers, as well as, some of the historical village downtowns and some traditional mixed-use cores in rural communities. All communities in the State either include one or more existing or potential centers or are within the Urban Services Boundary on the map. The growth centers shown in these data were selected by the Statewide Planning staff, the Technical Committee and the State Planning Council through a series of discussions at public meetings, and comments received at public hearings and workshops in the final adoption of Land Use 2025 in 2006. Centers depicted on the Future Land Use 2025 map are illustrative of potential new centers that may be established. It is not a intended as a comprehensive inventory of existing centers. Other centers may be illustrated and or proposed in municipal comprehensive plans. Full descriptions of the methodology for the GIS analysis and scenario planning can be found within the Technical Appendix D to Land Use 2025, Geographic Analysis for Land Available and Suitable for Development for Land Use 2025. Land Use 2025: State Land Use Policies and Plan was published by the RI Statewide Planning Program on April 13, 2006.

It is not a statewide zoning map. Zoning matters and individual land use decisions are the prerogative of local governments. Growth Centers are envisioned to be areas that will encourage development that is both contiguous to existing development with low fiscal and environmental impacts. They are intended to be compact developed areas (existing or new) containing a defined central core that accommodate community needs for residential and economic functions. Centers are intended to provide optimum use of land and services, and offer a choice of diverse housing stock, economic functions, and cultural and governmental uses. Density will vary greatly between centers subject to site constraints; however, it is intended that they will share the common characteristic of compact development that capitalizes on existing infrastructure. Centers should reflect traditional New England development patterns with a human scale of blocks, streets, open spaces that offer walkability and access to transit where available. In suburban areas, centers should be distinguished from surrounding sprawling development by a closer proximity between residential and non-residential uses. In rural areas, centers should be surrounded by natural areas, farmland, or open space, and may have a mixed-use and or commercial area in the core for neighborhood-scale goods and services.

The following data is provided as a public service, for informational purposes only. This data should not be construed as legal advice. Users of this data should independently verify its determinations prior to taking any action under the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) or any other law. The State of California makes no warranties as to accuracy of this data.This zoning data was collected from 535 of California"s 539 jurisdictions. An effort was made to contact each jurisdiction in the state and request zoning data in whatever form available. In the event that zoning maps were not available in a GIS format, maps were converted from PDF or image maps using geo-referencing techniques and then transposing map information to parcel geometries sourced from county assessor data. Collection efforts began in late 2021 and were mostly finished in late 2022. Some data has been updated in 2023. Sources and dates are documented in the "Source" and "Date" columns with more detail available in the accompanying sources table.Individual zoning maps were combined for this statewide dataset. As part of the aggregation process, contiguous areas with identical zone codes, within jurisdictions, were merged or dissolved. Some features representing roads with right-of-way or Null zone designations were removed from this data. Features less than 4 square meters in area were also removed.

This hosted feature layer has been published in RI State Plane Feet NAD 83.The Urban Services Boundary was developed for the Rhode Island Statewide Planning Program as part of a GIS overlay analysis of land suitability and availability for Figure 121-02-(01), Rhode Island Future Land Use Map - 2025 of the Land use 2025: State Land Use Policies and Plan. This is the State of Rhode Island"s plan for conservation and development in the 21st century. The boundary represents the general extent of the areas within which public services supporting urban development presently exist, or are likely to be provided, through 2025. Within the boundary most land should be served by public water service and many areas will have public sewer service available as well. Public transit service should be generally available. Several watersheds and other sensitive resource areas were excluded from the boundary, indicating that protection of the resources involved must be a principle concern limiting future development intensity potential. Also included within the boundary, are other undeveloped areas which will have lower development intensities due to the presence of resources constraints and or limited infrastructure.The Land use 2025: State Land Use Policies and Plan, was published by the Rhode Island Statewide Planning Program on April 13, 2006. The intent of the Urban Services Boundary is to provide an indication for planning purposes of areas where a higher level of public services is anticipated to be available to accommodate more intensive development and redevelopment. Public services in areas outside the Urban Services Boundary are anticipated to be more limited, and planned development intensities should be lower. The Plan directs the state and communities to concentrate growth inside the boundary and within locally designated centers in rural areas, and to pursue different development approaches for urban and rural areas. The Future Land Use Map with the Urban Services Boundary describes the recommended 2025 future land use pattern for the State of Rhode Island. This map has several purposes and applications: It is intended as a policy guide for directing growth to areas most capable of supporting current and future developed uses (and conversely, away from areas less suited for development). In this regard, it is intended to inform state and local capital investment decisions so that investments may target and support growth in appropriate areas and discourage growth in inappropriate locations. Secondly, the Future Land Use Map is a guide to assist the state and communities in making land use policies. It is important to note the Map is a generalized portrayal of state land use policy. IT IS NOT A "STATEWIDE ZONING MAP" - zoning matters and individual land use decisions are the prerogative of local governments.
