Description:
Abstract:
Data Layer is a compilation of local zoning district boundaries of each municipality in Westchester County.  Geographic boundaries and Zoning district classifications are included in the layer. Coverage is based on the latest zoning information 
(to the year 2006) provided in hard-copy map and digital format by each of Westchester County's municipalities.  The generalized zoning classifications are intended to provided a uniform framework for displaying a wide variety of local
zones at the county-wide level. Other reference sources include digital tax parcels and 2004 digital aerial photography.
Purpose:
This coverage can be used to display local zoning boundaries and to query use and bulk requirements of each zone. Because local zoning is continually changing, this coverage is intended for general planning purposes only, and may not be appropriate for site specific analysis.  All inquiries regarding current local zoning districts, zoning designations of specific parcels, and exact use and bulk requirements should be verified at the local level by contacting the local planning or municipal clerk's office.
Supplemental_Information:
This coverage is in Arc/Info export format. Coordinate System - New York State Plane, FIPS zone: 3101 (Formerly East Zone 4801), Units: Feet, North American Datum 1983.  This coverage can be accessed electronically by clicking on the above link, or by visit the Westchester County GIS web site to download this coverage along with additional Westchester County data layers. http://giswww.westchestergov.com
