Maintaining these maps is labor intensive and does not allow prompt updates as zone changes are approved throughout the year. The Planning Department wishes to convert these official zone maps to an electronic version. Benefits: The benefits of electronic zone maps include greater accuracy, flexibility in displaying information, greater efficiency and less redundancy. Additionally, a computer generated zone map could be used on-line with other geographic data currently in the system for analysis and custom mapping projects. Implementation: Using the existing hand drawn maps and zone case files, an electronic "official" zone map would be created. An on-site version would be placed on the computer network in a directory explicitly designated for that purpose. An off-site version would be burned to a compact disk to be stored in conformance with existing city policy. In addition, a "working" zone map will be created which will display zone changes as they are approved. This "working" zone map will be placed on the city's computer and made available to the public via the internet. Update Process: The "official" zoning map would be updated annually and a new CD burned for off-site backup. The "working" zoning map will be updated after City Council approves a zone change and will show accurate up-to-date zone information. S:\MOVlUS\electronic zone map.doc
