13564 MD 211 NF L36 1977 COASTAL ZONE 1NF0RMATI0N CENTER JAN 13 1998 TECHNICAL MEMORANDUM: Task 8.1 LAND USE MAP FOR THE SECOND YEAR--COASTAL ZONE MANAGEMENT STUDY Prepared by the Department of City Planning The City of New York The preparation of this document was financially aided through a Pederal Grant from the Office of Coastal Zone Management, National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration, under the coastal Zone Management Act of 1972. This document was prepared under the Coastal Zone Management Act of 1972 for the Division of State Planning, Department of State. Date: June 15 1977 Grant Number: 04-6-158-44069 Property Of CSC Library U.S. DEPARTMENT OF COMMERCE NOAA COASTAL SERVICES CENTER HD 2234 SOUTH HOBSON AVENUE 211 CHARLESTON SC 29405-2413 N7 L36 1977 Tn"IE I. V C0A'M,1 I 'ATiON CENTER INFMV, LAND USE MAPS BACKGROUND SUMMARY The tax lot file of the Real Property Assessment Department (PPAD) was selected as the land use,information system in order to be consistent with the 208 Water Quality Management Program which used the same file. In assembling the file data were taken from both the 1975 RPAD and 1972 files as mofidied by the Tri-State Regional Planning Commission. Tri-State corrected the 1972 data on irregular and multi-building lots and building setbacks. Current use information was added to the combined file. RPAD h'as a building use code classifying tax lots into one of more than 80 categories. The categories were grouped into.13 use types (See CZM/208 Land Use Classification Codes,(Appendix A) including vacant land. For - each tax lot,the file has floor area and-lot coverage. Lots axe aggregated to census blocks which can be aggregated by any chosen geographical unit through a matching file. The land use aggregations have three levels of detail described by a three-digit code. The first digit indicates one of four major categories: (100) Residential, (200)Commercial, (300) Industrial and (400)Open Land. The second digit indicates one of 13 two-digit categories. For Residential and Commercial uses, the second digit-establishes density which is measured by the actual floor area ratio (FAR) comT)uted from RPAD data. For example, 210 is Low Density office Use, 220 is High Density Office Use. In the Industrial categorv, the second distinguishes type of use. The third digit indicates use from the Zoning Resolution Use Groups and the Building Code Occupancy Categories. Although comprehensive in scope, the RPAD file is used for tax collection purposes rather than land use planning. As a result, preliminary figures had errors in non-taxable property aggregations such as parks and airports which were corrected. An RPAD file field check was done in eight waterfront and natural feature areas to determine whether the file would be useful for CZM waterfront analysis: Sheepsheaa Bay, College Point, Marble Hill, Woodlawn, City Island, the Brooklyn Navy Yard area, Fresh Creek Basin and 23rd Street near the East River. Of the approximately 675 lots checked, 50 (7%) were in error. The errors are not significant for 208 and CZM because the process of collapsing detailed data into 13 categories erased the problem. More significant for CzM is the ambiguity of the -acant land category. The category includes* a variety of open areas from manicured lawns to rubble heaps. Surface covering is n ot identified. Waterfront lots are sometimes not identified, nor are land lots which extend to the waterfront. -2- As a result of these shortcomings, supplemental waterfront data was obtained from agencies with authority in coastal areas such as the New York City Department of Ports and Terminals, the Army Corns of Engineers, the Port of New York and New Jersey Authority, and the New York City Parks Department. Professor Mitchell Moss of New York University was contacted. -Through the federally-funded Sea Grant program, he produced a waterfront land use map based on New York City-owned properties administered by the Department of Ports and Terminals. The bases used for classifying land by the above sources differed from one another and from the CZM/208 classification system. Newly-identified uses were put into CZM/208 categories and a new category was added to identify port facilities. The category includes all activities of marine transport such as cargo handling, marinas, covirriercial fishing, and passenger transport. Problems in Accuracy Ib Aggregation by census block has accuracy deficiencies. Land use for each block is by predominant use. The size of the tax block is indicative of the degree of generalization. As the size of the block increases, accuracy decreases resulting in land use maps often @oo generalized to be a site specific analytical tool. Attached are computer p.-.intouts of existing land uses in the New York City coastal zone. They are keyed to census and tax blocks. Maps with census and tax blocks at several scales are on file in the Department of City Planning. To use the land use information in conjunction with the U.S.G.S. chronoflex overlay system on which the natural and vital feature data are plotted, censusItract boundaries were transferred to the U.S.G.S. overlay svstem. Because land use listings will be updated continually, they have not been coded or colored on the overlays until the management phase in the third program year.
