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:

DATA LINEAGE SUMMARY:
Zoning boundaries were digitized using the parcel layer as a base map.  
In most cases Zoning boundaries were used to determine the location of  
future land use category boundaries. Institutional boundaries were 
selected from the parcel layer and added to the coverage. Institutional 
boundaries were hand edited to match the corel draw map as closely as 
possible.

Limitations and Warnings on Use of Data:
This map should be used as a broad and general depiction. An overlay, 
with parcels, for example would result in slivers. The exact width of power 
line easements was not available so those would vary depending on 
whether parcel lines were available or whether aerials were used to 
approximate their position. Since the corel map was adopted, the 
institutions such as city, county and state have bought and sold land, 
effectively changing the actual future land use. A new map, more correctly 
placing institutional land uses will need to be produced and adopted.
Process Date: 
Geoplan, during the QA/QC process included the following aspects: 1.) Projected data to FGDL Albers HPGN 2.) DESCRIPT item added based on FUTURELU 3.) FGDLAQDATE item added to attribute table 4.) Upcased all records in attribute table Process Date: 20070206
