Description:
Abstract:
This data represents the state of Florida's areas of critical state concern. The Areas of Critical State Concern Program protects resources and public facilities of major statewide significance. Locations include: City of Apalachicola, City of Key West and the Florida Keys, The Green Swamp, and The Big Cypress Swamp.
Purpose:
To provide generalized boundaries for Florida's Areas of Critical State Concern. This data is to be used for general information and planning purposes. This product is for reference purposes only and is not to be construed as a legal document or survey instrument.
Supplemental_Information:
Staff in the Division of Community Planning review all local development projects within the designated areas and may appeal to the Administration Commission any local development orders that are inconsistent with state guidelines. Staff also is responsible for reviewing and approving amendments to comprehensive plans and land development regulations proposed by local governments within the designated areas.

Process_Description:
The data was prepared by the Florida Department of Community Affairs based on the legal description of the Area of Critical State Concern boundaries contained in Section 380.00552(3), Florida Statutes, and Rule 28-29.002, Florida Administrative Code. These legal sources should be consulted if a precise boundary is needed.

Process_Description:
GeoPlan received this data via the Florida Department of Community Affairs FTP site (<ftp://ftp.dca.state.fl.us/public>) on April 19, 2010. The original data was broken out into five shapefiles, one for each area of critical concern. The data was in the following projection: GCS_North_American_1927.
Features associated with Key West were originally single part. They were dissolved to multipart to match the other features.
The shapes were projected to the FGDL albers projection and merged to a single shapefile using the Merge tool in ArcCatalog.
- Upcased all records in the table - Added DESCRIPT field based on NAME - Added FGDLAQDATE based on date received from source - Deleted fields AREA, PERIMTER, CARL01_, CARL01_ID, CARLID SHORT_NAME, PRISEC_A, PRIMA_A, IN_ACSC, ACSC, ID, MUNIC_CHK_CHK, BUFFERDIS - Original file names: city_of_apalachicola_acsc_bndy big_cypress_acsc green_swamp_acsc key_west_acsc_bndy fla_keys_acsc_bndy - File renamed to dca_acsc

Resource_Description: DOWNLOADABLE DATA
Distribution_Liability:
The Florida Geographic Data Library is a collection of Geospatial Data compiled by the University of Florida GeoPlan Center with support from the Florida Department of Transportation. GIS data available in FGDL is collected from various state, federal, and other agencies (data sources) who are data stewards, producers, or publishers. The data available in FGDL may not be the most current version of the data offered by the data source. University of Florida GeoPlan Center makes no guarantees about the currentness of the data and suggests that data users check with the data source to see if more recent versions of the data exist.
Furthermore, the GIS data available in the FGDL are provided 'as is'. The University of Florida GeoPlan Center makes no warranties, guaranties or representations as to the truth, accuracy or completeness of the data provided by the data sources. The University of Florida GeoPlan Center makes no representations or warranties about the quality or suitability of the materials, either expressly or implied, including but not limited to any implied warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, or non-infringement. The University of Florida GeoPlan Center shall not be liable for any damages suffered as a result of using, modifying, contributing or distributing the materials.
A note about data scale:
Scale is an important factor in data usage. Certain scale datasets are not suitable for some project, analysis, or modeling purposes. Please be sure you are using the best available data.
1:24000 scale datasets are recommended for projects that are at the county level. 1:24000 data should NOT be used for high accuracy base mapping such as property parcel boundaries. 1:100000 scale datasets are recommended for projects that are at the multi-county or regional level. 1:125000 scale datasets are recommended for projects that are at the regional or state level or larger.
Vector datasets with no defined scale or accuracy should be considered suspect. Make sure you are familiar with your data before using it for projects or analysis. Every effort has been made to supply the user with data documentation. For additional information, see the References section and the Data Source Contact section of this documentation. For more information regarding scale and accuracy, see our webpage at: <http://geoplan.ufl.edu/education.html>
