Buildable Land Inventory for a Small City
Track: State and Local Government
Author(s): Katy Carpenter, Timothy Wilder

The City of Fort Collins, Colorado has developed a procedure to create, track, and maintain an inventory of vacant and buildable land inside the urban growth area. Ideally, this would be a clean and seamless system that would be updated as needed. But in reality, it is a time consuming assembly of various data from different sources that needs to be cleaned, massaged, and wedged into a GIS format. Then the fun begins. The data is run through a series of geoprocessing procedures that create the buildable land inventory.
