From page 89... ... Case Studies 89 Development of the web-based application for the Title 55 land use review provision took approximately 18 months, beginning with Phase 1 to explore and document software requirements in a manner consistent with scope, budget, and needs. Phase 2 involved actual development of the software program, where deployment is based on the existing SCAC's GIS server platform. Read the entire page →
From page 90... ... 90 Using GIS for Collaborative Land Use Compatibility Planning Near Airports Additionally, a statewide DEM was developed from public sources for airspace obstruction evaluations to be performed, especially when the ground elevation was not known or submitted in the web application. Due to the varying levels of accuracy of DEMs available by county, the application varied the buffer applied to prospective structure heights based on the underlying accuracy (e.g., 3-foot or 10-foot) Read the entire page →
