Using REGIONS To Organize Overlapping Land Use Planning Areas
Defining Issue: Ink on paper maps and standard polygon attribution can not deal with the overlapping and multiple parcels involved in subdivision exemptions. GIS Solution: REGIONS provided the ability to store and retrieve the overlapping polygons involved in this process. A series of AMLs and menus was developed to aid in the input of the regions, and accessing the final information is done through ArcView. Methodology: Various AMLs and menus allow a technician to create and attribute overlapping subdivision exemption regions out of parcel polygons. This information was added as a theme to an existing County planning ArcView project, so that the planners can click on a parcel to determine if any subdivision exemptions have occurred on that parcel. Software: The subdivision exemption regions application was written using AML with menus created in FormEdit. Access to the data is accomplished via Avenue scripts. The purpose of this paper is to discuss methods of getting regions into a database,
pitfalls found and overcome, and methods of allowing nontechnical users to create and access the new regions.
