Community Development Department . The Department manages and maintains a variety <br /> of data that has a spatial component . In addition , the Department ' s objectives require <br /> comprehensive knowledge of various types of spatial data , including planimetrics, zoning , <br /> infrastructure, land use , and environmental data . The Department should work closely with <br /> the recommended GIS Director to integrate GIS as much as possible with its workflows. <br /> Based on this needs assessment , the Community Development Department has several GIS <br /> needs , including : <br /> • Geo-Spatial Data Creation and Integration ( Including County Address Point Layer) <br /> Mapping and Spatial Analysis in Support of Building and Planning Operations <br /> Field- Based Access to Geo-Spatial Data <br /> • Automated Neighborhood and Vicinity Mapping <br /> Planning Support Systems <br /> Public Access to Geo-Spatial Data <br /> - 0 Plan Writing and Update Support <br /> • Personnel dedicated to GIS <br /> Geo-Spatial Data Creation and Integration ( Including County Address Point Laver ) <br /> As aforementioned , the Community Development Department will need to work closely with <br /> the recommended GIS Director to address short and long-term GIS goals and objectives . A <br /> key objective for the Department is to spatially enable much of the information that is <br /> currently maintained in databases , such as the CD- Plus database . <br /> Various tools exist that allow for the extraction and GIS enabling of data residing in open <br /> databases . These tools select the appropriate fields from the database and address-match <br /> them against an address point layer and street centerlines . This data is then accessible as a <br /> GIS layer, still containing pertinent data derived from the database application . <br /> ~ This tool should be utilized to create data layers such as building permits and occupational <br /> licenses . In addition , the Department will need to acquire and formally integrate additional <br /> data layers , such as zoning districts , subdivisions , and utility customer locations, to leverage <br /> the true potential of the County ' s GIS . <br /> 14 <br /> GIS Needs Assessment and Implementation Plan Chapter I - Departmental GIS Needs Assessment <br />
