Paper
Generalizing Future Land-Use Data for Central Florida
Track: State and Local Government
Author(s): Claudia Paskauskas

Because each local government develops its future land-use categorization system to serve its own vision, there are large variations among counties and municipalities. The ECFRPC has developed countywide generalized future land-use (FLU) shapefiles for Brevard, Flagler, Lake, Marion, Orange, Osceola, Seminole, Sumter, and Volusia counties. The agency gathered information in digital and hard-copy formats and then worked with the data as necessary to create datasets based on parcels where available. A crosswalk table was created to show how every county and municipal FLU category fits into a smaller number of generalized categories. Frequent comprehensive plan amendments mean that the information is constantly changing. This presentation will also outline the methodology for periodic updates.
