Abstract

Overlay Districts are a zoning designation that modifies the basic underlying designation in some specific manner; this is what the Overlay polygons in the Zoning map represent.

All DC GIS data is stored and exported in Maryland State Plane coordinates NAD 83 meters. This layer contains complete theoretical address ranges.
METADATA CONTENT IS IN PROCESS OF VALIDATION AND SUBJECT TO CHANGE.

Purpose

This data set was created to act as a basis for public and private institutions to improve their policy and decision making; promote economic development; and enhance the quality of life for residents and businesses.

Access constraints

Contact OCTO GIS. Any data obtained outside of OCTO GIS or the DC Office of Zoning are unauthorized copies.

Use constraints

Extracts from the map may be distributed to other DC government offices, but these extracts will not be official Zoning maps.
