Important Notice Regarding the Accuracy of this Zoning Data Set:
The data were developed using DCP’s Tax Block Base Map Files, DOITT’s NYCMap planimetric street centerlines and 2006 orthophotos as reference sources. Measurements and dimensions for location of zoning features were obtained from DCP zoning maps. The estimated horizontal accuracy is +/- 20 feet. Any errors found in the data can be reported using our Error Report Form.

The zoning GIS data set consists of the four feature classes described briefly below.

nyzd: Polygon features representing the zoning districts. These features are continuous over the entire city. They extend to the city limits on land and out to the US Army Corps of Engineers Pierhead lines over water. Parks greater than 50 acres in size are included. Zoning district designations are indicated in the ZONEDIST attribute.

nyco: Polygon features representing the within-tax-block limits for commercial overlay districts, as shown on the DCP zoning maps. Commercial overlay district designations are indicated in the OVERLAY attribute.

nysp: Polygon features representing the Special Purpose Districts and their associated sub-districts. The main district designation is indicated in the SDNAME attribute. The abbreviation as shown on the zoning map is indicated in the SDLBL attribute. Sub-districts and divisions within sub-districts are indicated in the SUBDIST and SUBSUB attributes respectively.

nydp: Point features representing the approximate within-tax-block locations for tax lots subject to environmental or restrictive declarations. These locations are equivalent to the “E” and “D” markers shown on the DCP zoning map. Declaration designations are indicated in the DECNO attribute.
