Represents locations in Prince George's County, Maryland near Metro Stations intended to encourage intense land development in order to reduce automobile use and maximize transit ridership. The districts are also used to implement transit district development plans (TDDP) which establish development requirements for specific parcels of land in the area and for the entire district. The locations are represented as an overlay zone superimposed over underlying conventional zones in a designated area, and may modify certain requirements of the underlying zones. Attributes of this featureclass are coded under the Field Names, and Values reflected in the attribute table. The layer historically evolved as follows: - The earliest known was Adopted on April 17, 1989 for the New Carrollton Transit District Development Plan and captured on WSSC grid based TDOZ half sheet Mylars at 1:2400 scale. - All overlay layers were captured in GIS together as one Countywide Layer in ArcInfo in 1997 by CENTECH Group Inc. with subsequent amendments incorporated. - In November of 2000 all Overlay layers were stripped out into their own countywide layers due to the complexity of attributing the increasing number of overlapping features due to new overlay layers being implemented. - Data migration 2006-07, to ArcGIS 9.1 geodatabase and a SDE seamless Transit_District_Overlay_Poly layer was created. The data was captured at a reference scale of 1:2400. |
