- 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.

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

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:
