Why was the data set created?

The Land Use Plan Overlay attempts to identify specific areas of the county to be used as future greenway, large or small mixed use centers, and conceptual urban services.


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?

    The FUTURE GREENWAY is an identified corridor specified in the Open Space element of the 2025 Land Use Plan. Applicants submitting a development plat are encouraged to orient any required open space set-asides or recreation areas/trail systems, as required by the subdivision ordinance, towards the future greenway overlay. Future implementation of the Open Space element may include a more proactive role by York County and other relevant organizations to acquire, construct and maintain a trail system throughout the greenway.

    MIXED USE CENTERS are areas designated as optimal for mixed use development. Developments proposed for properties located in a mixed use overlay district could would be expected to contain a mix of interconnected uses and would be subject to staff approval/review. Future amendments to the zoning ordinance could contain more detailed requirements/specifications for the mixed use overlay districts.

    The CONCEPTUAL URBAN SERVICES AREA is a boundary proposing the limit to the expansion of public utility services, specifically water and sewer service, in order to limit sprawl and to maintain the fiscal health of York County. The Conceptual Urban Services Area is currently being followed by York County, however, the limitation is currently voluntary for the relevent municipalities. Implementation efforts of the 2025 York County Comprehensive Plan may include interjurisdictional agreements between the County and the relevant municipalities to ensure future adherence to the boundary.

  5. How consistent are the relationships among the observations, including topology?

    The York County Land Use Plan Overlay was developed using a number of planning principles and environmental considerations. No test procedure is known to have been used.
