Abstract
This methodology, How to Make a Zoning Atlas 2.0, followed on How to Make a Zoning Atlas and was used for a period by the National Zoning Atlas team. It has since been superseded in several key respects and no longer reflects the current process, but is maintained here for historical reference. The National Zoning Atlas has two workflows – one involving analysis of zoning texts, the other involving analysis of zoning maps – the products of which are merged and published to an online, interactive map. This methodology tracks methods used to create both workflows, giving zoning code and geospatial analysts instructions on how to collect, translate, and standardize zoning regulatory and geospatial information. It focuses on individual zoning districts, each of which distinctively regulates allowed uses, structures, and lots.
