Description: This is a subset of the Sonoma County parcels GIS layer that shows the City of Santa Rosa, the City's Urban Growth Boundary area and other nearby parcels. This layer has been modified, adding extra fields/data, to meet City business needs. The City does not make geometry updates to this layer. This layer is updated monthly but the frequency of this update is dependant on Sonoma County updating and posting their parcel layer. This layer is the same as the "Parcels CW allinfo" layer except it is clipped to the area around Santa Rosa.

Description: Priority Conservation Areas are designated to accelerate protection of key natural lands in the San Francisco Bay Region through purchase or conservation easements. While initially adopted as part of the Association of Bay Area Governments' FOCUS Program, Priority Conservation Areas have become part of Plan Bay Area, the regional plan that grew out of the California Sustainable Communities and Climate Protection Act of 2008 (CA SB 375, Steinberg). Priority Conservation Areas were nominated by local jurisdictions and non-profit conservation groups as areas of importance for conservation to retain and enhance the natural environment that is key to the quality of life enjoyed by the region's residents and visitors and the region's ecological diversity.Through the Priority Conservation Areas, conservation will be promoted by:Coordinating conservation efforts within a regional framework of near-term prioritiesProviding a strong platform on which to leverage public and private resourcesBuilding upon prior and existing land protection efforts and investmentsProviding opportunities for forging new partnershipsWhen available, shapefiles forwarded by PCA leads were directly incorporated into this feature set. If a shapefile was not available, map images submitted by the PCA lead were georeferenced and the boundary digitized for use in this feature set.

Description: The Digital Flood Insurance Rate Map (DFIRM) Database depicts flood risk information and supporting data used to develop the risk data. The primary risk classifications used are the 1-percent-annual-chance flood event, the 0.2-percent-annual-chance flood event, and areas of minimal flood risk. The DFIRM Database is derived from Flood Insurance Studies (FISs), previously published Flood Insurance Rate Maps (FIRMs), flood hazard analyses performed in support of the FISs and FIRMs, and new mapping data, where available. The FISs and FIRMs are published by the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA). The file is georeferenced to earth's surface using the State Plane projection and coordinate system. The specifications for the horizontal control of DFIRM data files are consistent with those required for mapping at a scale of 1:12,000.The FIRM is the basis for floodplain management, mitigation, and insurance activities for the National Flood Insurance Program (NFIP). Insurance applications include enforcement of the mandatory purchase requirement of the Flood Disaster Protection Act, which "... requires the purchase of flood insurance by property owners who are being assisted by Federal programs or by Federally supervised, regulated or insured agencies or institutions in the acquisition or improvement of land facilities located or to be located in identified areas having special flood hazards," Section 2 (b) (4) of the Flood Disaster Protection Act of 1973. In addition to the identification of Special Flood Hazard Areas (SFHAs), the risk zones shown on the FIRMs are the basis for the establishment of premium rates for flood coverage offered through the NFIP. The DFIRM Database presents the flood risk information depicted on the FIRM in a digital format suitable for use in electronic mapping applications. The DFIRM database is a subset of the Digital FIS database that serves to archive the information collected during the FIS.
