This feature layer is intended for analysis purposes. For display, please use the map image layer: Land Use Designations (Tacoma).The Future Land Use Map illustrates the City’s intended future land use pattern through the geographic distribution of residential and commercial areas, the designation of mixed-use and manufacturing/industrial centers, as well as shoreline and residential designations. This land use distribution was a result of analysis of the urban form policies, existing land use and zoning, development trends, anticipated land use needs and desirable growth and development goals. The land use designations are established in the One Tacoma Comprehensive Plan and provide a basis for applying zoning districts and for making land use decisions.

Updates to Tacoma Zoning through the Home in Tacoma Project were adopted on November 19, 2024 and are effective February 1, 2025.Dataset includes fields for overlays including: Airport Compatibility District, Conservation District, Historic Special Review, Planned Residential Development, Port of Tacoma Transitions, Special Review District, South Tacoma Groundwater Protection, South Tacoma Manufacturing Industrial Center, and View Sensitive Districts.The broad purposes of the zoning provisions of the Tacoma Municipal Code are to protect and promote the public health, safety, and general welfare, and to implement the policies of the Comprehensive Plan of the City of Tacoma. More specifically, the zoning code is intended to:a. Provide a guide for the physical development of the City in order to: (1) Preserve the character and quality of residential neighborhoods; (2) Foster convenient, harmonious, and workable relationships among land uses; and (3) Achieve the arrangement of land uses described in the Comprehensive Plan.b. Promote the economic stability of existing land uses that are consistent with the Comprehensive Plan and protect them from intrusions by inharmonious or harmful land uses.c. Promote intensification of land use at appropriate locations, consistent with the Comprehensive Plan, and ensure the provision of adequate open space for light, air, and fire safety. d. Foster development patterns that offer alternatives to automobile use by establishing densities and intensities that help make frequent transit service feasible, and encourage walking and bicycling. This emphasis on alternative transportation will also have air quality benefits and will conserve energy. e. Establish review procedures to ensure that new development is consistent with the provisions of this chapter and all other requirements of this code.Contact: City of Tacoma Planning & Development Services

The Tacoma, WA Meter Urban Land Cover (MULC) dataset was generated from 1-meter image pixel resolution data sourced from 2011 USDA National Agricultural Imagery Program (NAIP) four band (red, green, blue and near infrared) aerial ortho-imagery. LiDAR point density data (9/m^2 point spacing), available for years 2010 and 2011, was used to map most areas of Pierce County, and supplemental LiDAR data, available for earlier years, was used to map area segments where 2010-2011 LiDAR data was not available. A 7-band stack consisting of 1-meter, four-band (red, green, blue, and near-infrared) aerial photography, Normalized Difference Vegetation Index (NDVI), and lidar-derived intensity and height above ground was created and primarily used to classify land cover using Genie Pro automated feature extraction software. Several ancillary datasets, such as hydrographic and transportation feature data, were edited in ArcGIS and integrated into the classification workflow. The Tacoma, WA land cover dataset includes data for the Tacoma metropolitan area of Pierce County, WA, and encompasses a total approximate area of 1,995 square kilometers. The thematic landcover data is confined to areas included within the US Census Bureau's 2010 Urban Statistical area boundaries for Pierce County, WA, with an additional 1km buffer extension that include bits of Kitsap, King and Thurston Counties. The following seven land cover classes were mapped: Water, Impervious, Soil or Barren, Trees or Forest, Grass or Herbaceous, Woody Wetlands and Emergent Wetlands. Mapped water bodies were generated using combined high-resolution LiDAR and ancillary hydrological data. Integrated wetland features were derived using ancillary National Wetlands Inventory (NWI) polygon data (version 2), downloaded from the Unites States Fish and Wildlife Service (USFWS) Wetland Mapper web mapping service (https://www.fws.gov/wetlands/data/mapper.html). Metadata for the NWI wetlands data layer can be found at http://www.fws.gov/wetlands/Data/Metadata.html. An accuracy assessment of the classified product, using 482 completely random and 46 (Soil/Barren) stratified random photo-interpreted land cover reference sample points yielded an overall user's accuracy (MAX) of 85.1 percent and a fuzzy user's accuracy (RIGHT) of 86.9 percent.

Description

This polygon feature contains geographic and attribute information for the purpose of depicting Zoning Areas within the City of SeaTac, Washington. The data was compiled from existing zoning information and King County parcel data.To implement the SeaTac Comprehensive Plan's policies and objectives and the goals of the State Growth Management Act (GMA); To protect health, safety, and general welfare; To provide for the economic, social, and aesthetic advantages of orderly development and redevelopment through harmonious groupings of compatible and complementary land uses and the application of appropriate development standards; To provide for adequate public facilities and services in conjunction with development; To ensure public safety by restricting development of lands containing physical hazards and to minimize the adverse environmental impacts of development; and To ensure that land use decisions are made in accordance with the public interest and applicable laws of the State of Washington, including the Growth Management Act and subsequent amendments (Ord. 92-1041 --1)Updates to Zoning were made per Ordinance 18-1005, data was updated 3/28/2018.Updates to the Zoning were made per ORD17-1022, data was updated December 2017.Last amended in December 2015.The change to Angle Lake District Area Boundary was adopted on July 9th, 2015 (Ord. 15-1010).UL-5000 was changed to High Density Single Family Overlay Zone (HDS-OZ) on Nov 10, 2015.Segale properties were rezoned to UH-900 on Dec 8, 2015.Pursuant to Article XI, Section 11 of Washington State Constitution (Ord. 92-1041 -- 1). Zoning boundaries have been adjusted to line up with King County Assessor parcel lines that were improved in 2006 and 2007. Slivers and gaps will appear if this zoning layer is overlaid with historical zoning layers. The geometry of this data derives from KC parcel data which is updated quarterly. Then it was intersected with the existing zoning data to trasfer the attribute.Incorporated in February 1990, the City of SeaTac is located in the Pacific Northwest, approximately midway between the cities of Seattle and Tacoma in the State of Washington. SeaTac is a vibrant community, economically strong, environmentally sensitive, and people-oriented. The City boundaries surround the Seattle-Tacoma International Airport, (approximately 3 square miles in area) which is owned and operated by the Port of Seattle.
