Abstract:
This dataset contains an inventory of outdoor advertising structures, permits and other related information maintained by the Florida Department of Transportation.
Purpose:
The data was created to serve as base information for use in GIS systems 
for a variety of planning and analytical purposes.
Supplemental_Information:
The Florida Department of Transportation (Department) is responsible for 
controlling ODA signs on the National and State highway systems. The 
Department must control the location, size, height, spacing and lighting of ODA 
signs but has no authority to regulate the content of advertising messages on the 
signs. The Outdoor Advertising regulatory program is based on federal law and 
regulations as well as state statute and rule. Federal law is set forth in the Highway
Beautification Act while federal regulations can be found at 23 C.F.R., Section 
750. State laws are found in Chapter 479, Florida Statutes. In addition to the state 
statutes, the Department writes administrative rules to interpret the intent of the 
statute for the general public. Chapter 14-10, Florida Administrative Code, is the 
Department's rule chapter which governs outdoor advertising. Local governments 
often have their own ordinances which regulate outdoor advertising in their 
community. The Department cannot issue a permit for an outdoor advertising sign 
which is not allowed by local ordinances.

While there are many aspects of the outdoor advertising regulatory program, this 
web page deals with pertinent information to help you determine if you need to 
obtain a license or permit for outdoor advertising signs and the requirements for 
obtaining and maintaining a license or permit.

Information on ODA licenses, permits and tags is available below. The ODA 
database, featuring a search option, can be accessed below for current permits, 
sign locations and other information. If you have questions or need information on
this program, please contact Lynn Holschuh (lynn.holschuh@dot.state.fl.us).

All renewal payments and forms relating to the Outdoor Advertising regulatory 
program are to be sent to:
   Outdoor Advertising Office

Please note that the conformity status of a sign may change.  Although the 
Department endeavors to update this section of its records as often as possible, 
there may be reasons why a sign has become nonconforming that are unknown to 
the Department.  Before taking any action on the assumption your sign is 
conforming, you should check with Department personnel.

The file is in Excel format and is updated each month. A single structure may be listed on more than one row in the file. This occurs when a single structure contains more than active permit. In these cases you can determine the distinct structures by the structure# column. The structure# will be the same regardless of how many active permits are attached to the structure.

Billboards have been broken out in to 4 main groups - A, B, C, and D.
The groups are arranged as a scale in that Group-A represents the most accurate 
and Group-D represents the least accurate.

Group-A
For features falling within this category it was determined, through the spatial join 
function of the Billboards layer to the RCI Milepost layer that the join produced a 
milepost on the same RCI Roadway Section as was listed in the Billboards layer 
table.  For this group each Billboard feature was within 906m (805m = 0.5 mile, an 
extra 100m added for displacement of object off roadway) of the correct mile post. 
 There are variations of this, listed as A1, A2, and A3.  (A1 represents the most accurate)
A1 - Milepost connected thought spatial join matched the Milepost listed in the 
Billboards Layer table.
A2 - Milepost connected thought spatial join was within 1-Milepost of the listed 
Milepost in the Billboards Layer table.
A3 - Milepost connected thought spatial join was within a few Mileposts of the 
listed Milepost in the Billboards Layer table.

Group-B
For features falling within this category it was determined, through the spatial join 
function of the Billboards layer to the RCI Milepost layer that the initial join did not 
produced a milepost on the same RCI Roadway Section as was listed in the 
Billboards layer table.  
 There are variations of this, listed as B1, B2, and B3.  (B1 represents the most accurate)
B1 - For this group each Billboard feature was within 906m of the correct milepost .
B2 - For this group each Billboard feature was within 906m of a milepost that was 
within 1-mile of the correct milepost.
B3 - For this group each Billboard feature was within 906m of a milepost that was 
within a few miles of the correct milepost.

Group-C
For features falling within this category it was determined, through the spatial join 
function of the Billboards layer to the RCI Milepost layer that the initial join did not 
produced a milepost on the same RCI Roadway Section as was listed in the 
Billboards layer table.
 There are variations of this, listed as C1, C2, and C3.  (C1 represents the most accurate)
C1- For this group each Billboard feature was within 1-mile of a milepost of the 
correct RCI roadway.
C2- For this group each Billboard feature was within 5-miles of a milepost of the 
correct RCI roadway.
C3- For this group each Billboard feature was over 5-miles from a milepost of the 
correct RCI roadway.

Group-D
For features falling within this category it was determined, through the spatial join 
function of the Billboards layer to the RCI Milepost layer that the initial join did not 
produced a milepost on the same RCI Roadway Section as was listed in the 
Billboards layer table.
 There are variations of this, listed as D1, D2, and D3.  (D1 represents the most accurate)
D1- For this group each Billboard feature milepost was not listed in the RCI 
Milepost Layer.
D2- For this group each Billboard feature milepost links to features in the RCI 
Milepost Layer that have bad geometry.
D3- For this group each Billboard feature has not been finalized and therefore has 
not been mapped.  These features exist as points out in the Gulf of Mexico and 
this info is documented in the Billboard Layer's metadata.

GeoPlan Center Downloaded the data from the following 
Florida Department of Transportations (FDOT) website:
http://www2.dot.state.fl.us/rightofway/DownloadData.aspx

The Excel spread sheet was downloaded on May 21st 2009.

The original excel document file name was: floutdooradvertising.xls

The floutdooradvertising.xls field names were first shortened to fit database standards.

Next the floutdooradvertising.xls was converted to a database table.

Next this table was mapped in ArcMap via the Add XY Data tool.

The XY locations were added via the LATITUDE and LONGITUDE fields.

The dataset's projection was defined as WGS84.

Next the dataset was reprojected to the FGDL NAD83 HARN Albers projection.

Next the DESCRIPT field was added based on L_NAME (Location Name).

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:
