    The Land Use Plan is a document specifying what form future development should take place in York County and is implemented through the rezoning process. The Land Use Plan is used by staff to evaluate rezoning applications and is followed very closely. (Source: York County Land Use Plan (2025))

Why was the data set created?

The Land Use Plan specifies what form future development should take place in York County.

How was the data set created?

  1. From what previous works were the data drawn?

  2. How were the data generated, processed, and modified?

    Date: 2004 (process 1 of 1)
    The LUP was created through the application of socio-economic data, planning principles, existing conditions data, conservation goals and economic development expectations. The socio-economic data was developed in the Population, Economic Development and Housing elements of the Comprehensive Plan. This data established the number and type of population growth York County can expect in the future, as well as the economic and housing needs of future residents. The planning principles were derived in the Land Use Element and established the type and form of growth York County wants to achieve. Existing conditions data was derived from components of the Land Use Element depicting areas that are stable, changing or expected to encounter future development pressure. Existing conditions were also derived from the Cultural Resources Element as well as natural resource information from the Natural Resources element. Conservation goals were formulated in the Open Space Element to establish conservation areas and the Economic Development element provided areas for future industrial development.

    All of the data, principles, conditions, goals and expectations from the Comprehensive Plan Elements provided a physical and ideological framework for the creation of land use districts depicted in the Land Use Plan. These districts were drawn using roads, streams, parcels, parks and other manmade as well as natural boundaries. The district types are intended to concentrate higher densities near urban areas and limit suburban sprawl while protecting natural resources and accommodating residential, commercial and industrial development growth.

  3. What similar or related data should the user be aware of?

How reliable are the data; what problems remain in the data set?

  1. How well have the observations been checked?

  2. How accurate are the geographic locations?

  3. How accurate are the heights or depths?

  4. Where are the gaps in the data? What is missing?

    2025 Land Use Plan uses 2010 terms. However, maps should be printed using 2025 terms. User must make changes in Legend personally.

    Digital data may be purchased for the entire county as part of a package of data layers. No provision is made to sell data layers ala carte. The bundle of layers is sold as a package, although you may select and extract only the desired layers if you wish. A list of available layers may be viewed at: <http://maps.yorkcountygov.com/metadata/LIST_OF_AVAILABLE_gis_FILES.htm> Contact the Distributor to make your request and to arrange payment. Once $400 payment is made by cash, check, or money order the login and password to grant access to the data download site will be provided via e-mail and will be valid for 30 days.
