This layer outlines specific zones or regions governed by a Form-Based Code (FBC) framework. Form-Based Codes regulate development based on the physical form of buildings and spaces rather than traditional land use categories. The layer identifies areas where urban design principles such as building height, setbacks, and architectural styles are dictated by the FBC to achieve desired community aesthetics and functionality. This spatial dataset serves as a reference for planning, zoning, and development decisions aligned with form-based principles. These districts are in effect in the FBC pilot neighborhoods.Data GlossaryZone Code: Code name of Form-Based Code district.

The Cuyahoga County Zoning Districts layer provides a generalized representation of the municipal zoning districts within Cuyahoga County. These districts reflect the unique zoning designations established by each municipality, but it is important to note that the generalized designations are not considered official and should be interpreted as the result of county planning staff's analysis.The boundaries of the zoning districts have been adjusted to better align with the county-wide zoning districts. Therefore, it is essential to understand that these boundaries may not entirely match the official boundaries defined by individual municipalities. This generalized representation aims to provide users with a comprehensive overview of the zoning districts across Cuyahoga County, facilitating better spatial analysis and decision-making.Additionally, the layer includes overlay districts specifically related to the City of Cleveland zoning. These overlay districts are supplementary designations that modify the regulations of the underlying base zoning districts within the city. Overlay districts often address specific land use conditions, such as historic preservation, floodplain management, or other unique factors that require additional zoning considerations.By leveraging the Cuyahoga County Zoning Districts layer, users can gain valuable insights into the zoning framework of Cuyahoga County and its municipalities. However, for official and precise zoning information, it is recommended to consult the respective municipal zoning departments or the County Planning Commission.

Outlines specific zones or regions designated under a Form-Based code (FBC) framework. Form-based codes regulate development based on the physical form of buildings and spaces rather than solely on land use. This layer likely identifies areas where these codes dictate urban design principles such as building height, setbacks, and architectural styles to achieve desired community aesthetics and functionality. It serves as a spatial reference for planning, zoning, and development decisions aligned with form-based principles.Data was created from PDFs of the approved Form-Base Code plans, which are accessible via links for each neighborhood in the Ordinance Link column.Update FrequencyStatic (as needed)This dataset is featured in the following application(s):Form-Based Code ExplorerContactsCity Planning Commission- Zoning and Technology
