TITLE: GILCHRIST COUNTY GOVERNMENT BUILDINGS

Geodataset Name:       C21_GOVBUILD
Geodataset Type:       SHAPEFILE
Geodataset Feature:    POLYGON
GENERAL DESCRIPTION:
Government buildings include structures operated by public entities for institutional, correctional and administrative purposes. This is a polygon layer of parts of a parcel or the whole parcel involved with a governmental entity. It does not include public buildings used primarily for education (e.g. Schools), recreation (eg. golf courses, gyms), medical facilities, or other uses unrelated to administrative/bureaucratic process. This GIS layer was produced by the North Central Florida Regional Planning Council (NCFRPC) under contract with FDOT District 2 in early 2005. This is one of many layers that fall into the general category of "sociocultural" GIS data. Specifications and oversight were provided by FDOT and by the Geoplan Center at the University of Florida.

USER NOTES:
GeoPlan relied on the integrity of the attribute information within the original data.
This data is intended for use in the Efficient Transporation Decision Making 
Process (ETDM), which includes the development of an on-line application 
called the Environmental Screening Tool.   The primary objective of the program 
include:

Effective/timely decision making without compromising environmental quality
Integrating review and permitting processe.
Early NEPA reviews and approvals
Full and early participation
Meaningful dispute resolution

For more information about these initiatives an on-line search using keyword 
'ETDM' will provide a number of resources.
A listing of relevant documents and resources is included under: 
http://fdotenvironmentalstreamlining.urs-tally.com/Library/default.htm.

A note concerning data scale:

Scale is an important factor in data usage. Certain scale 
datasetsare 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.

1:250000 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 analyses. Every 
effort has been made to supply the user with data 
documentation. For additional information, see the 
References sectionand the Data Source Contact section of 
this documentation. For more information regarding scale 
and accuracy, see our web pages at:

DATA LINEAGE SUMMARY:
Gilchrist County parcel data was received from property appraiser in XLS 
(excel) format, data was exported as comma delimited table and read by 
ArcCatalog. In ArcGIS data (view1 and view3) was joined to projected 
Gilchrist County property appraiser parcel data via parcel number. Selected 
parcels were derived by querying on USECD column of view1.xls and BTYPE 
column of view3.xls for all parcels with BTYPE= 9300 or USECD >=8600 
<=9100, and then matching the parcel to the known address of the entity. 
Added fields OPERATING, OP_CLASS, COMMON_USE, USE

GeoPlan received this data, via CDROM, and performed the following: -Reprojected to the FGDL Albers HPGN map projection. -Restructured the attribute table to fit the SCE Data Specification Document Standards. -Added FGDLAQDATE field based on the date FGDL acquired the data from the source. -Added DESCRIPT field based on 'OP_CLASS' Process Date: 20051000
