| NYC GIS Zoning Features |
The GIS Zoning Features data set is provided as a free download in ESRI Shapefile and file geodatabase formats. These are industry-standard GIS data formats, compatible with most GIS and CAD software, and also viewable using free GIS viewers like ESRI’s ArcGIS Explorer or Google Earth. This data set is continuous (seamless) city-wide and consists of 6 classes of zoning features: zoning districts, special purpose districts, special purpose district subdistricts, limited height districts, commercial overlay zones, and zoning map amendments.
While representative of the information contained in DCP’s printed zoning maps, this GIS data set is not intended to replace those maps, but to provide an additional source of zoning information for the general public’s use in digital mapping and analysis applications. The downloadable zoning data will be updated on the last Monday of every month. Updates will include recent zoning changes adopted by the City Council.
