Data Plan

Discovery - Searchable inventory of state GIS data in CIM . Single answer for first question, “Who has what data, and how can I get it?” Foundation of further steps.

Access - Next question, “How can users easily get the data that is available,” and this will produce combination of access modes including using state agencies’ infrastructure.

Data management - Stewardship program producing seamless statewide data sets essential for many tasks. Many of these data aggregate local and other data. Significant work is required to integrate them into standard structure.

Statutory Responsibilities:Colorado Revised Statutes 24-37.5-106 (1) The chief information officer shall:(c) Coordinate and direct the formulation and promulgation of policies, standards, specifications, and guidelines for information technology in state agencies including but not limited to those required to support state and local government exchange, acquisition, storage, use, sharing, and distribution of geographic or base map data and related technologies;

Geographic information system - coordinator - statewide planOn and after July 1, 2008, all duties and responsibilities for statewide geographic information system coordination shall be transferred from the department of local affairs to the office. The office shall develop a statewide geographic information system plan on or before July 1, 2010, and submit such plan to the governor and to the state, veterans, and military affairs committees of the senate and the house of representatives, or their successor committees.

Who: local governments responsible for county-wide thematic data (counties, regions)

When: Issued by email week of 19 Jan 2015 (next week); 6-8 week response time

Coordinated w/Denver Regional Council of Governments (DRCOG)

● Timing coincident with DRDC data call

● Mostly the same content

Means of data transfer:

Secure:

● State GeoShare Managed File Transfer (MFT) site (SFTP, WEBDAV, etc.)

● DRDC Data Portal, CIM (data.colorado.gov)

Open:

● OpenColorado.org

● Local government websites

● Email, etc.

Winter 2015 Data Call: Schedule

addressed locations, community facilities, building outlines*

road centerlines (with address ranges*, preferred) , railroad centerlines* , airport boundaries/airfield locations*, bike routes and trails

county, municipal, tribal, special district (metro district, fire, school, water, sanitary sewer, etc.), tax district (property and sales tax), Public Safety Answering Point (PSAP)* and Emergency Service Zone (ESZ)* boundaries

parcel (aka cadastral) boundaries, tax district boundaries (as stated above), listings of taxing authorities per tax district, attribute information in the attached and updated guidance

land use and zoning boundaries or parcel attributes that describe the current use of the land or the constrained future use of the land by current ordinance

rivers and streams, lakes and ponds

This data will not be received all at once. Those who have imagery or elevation data they would like to share with the State of Colorado this year will contact Jon Gottsegen to schedule a timing and means of transfer.

*Building footprints for the Denver metro will be collected as part of a 2015 Denver Region Data Consortium (DRDC) region -wide plannimetric project and distributed publically by the Denver Regional Council of Governments (DRCOG). Collection of road and railroad centerlines, airport boundaries/airfield locations, and PSAP and ESZ boundaries for the Denver metro will occur via the North Central All-Hazards Region (NCR) rather than the DRDC. DRCOG will also request Open Space, Building Permits, and Employment/Business Data from local governments for the Denver metro.

Winter 2015 Data Call: Themes

(Those in bold are new for this year):

Winter 2015 Data Call: Parcel Guidance State of Colorado January 2015

Cadastral (Parcel) Attribute Guidance

In December of 2013, the Governor’s Office of Information Technology (OIT) provided cadastral (parcel) attribute guidance to counties and regions in the State of Colorado in preparation for voluntary submission for state and federal use. This guidance was descriptive rather than proscriptive in nature. This 2014 guidance for providing cadastral (parcel) attribute data to the state continues to be descriptive but provides some greater detail. The attribute information requested includes the following:· Parcel ID, Account and/or Schedule number, Owner name, Tax District ID· Legal description, Subdivision or Townsite name, Lot, Block, and/or Filing

· Physical address, Mailing address, Parcel Owner contact information

· Land size in area (acres), Building Square Footage

· Assessed value, Improvement value, Land (only) value, Sale date

· Year built, Foundation type (basement, crawl space, slab on grade, etc.), First floor height or finished floor height (often termed FFE) , Number of stories

· Improved vs. vacant, Building Occupancy/Use Type, Parcel use, Zoning (if attributed per parcel)

Please also provide: · A list of Taxing authorities within each County (their names and identifiers)· A list of Tax districts within each County (their identifiers)

· A list of Taxing authorities per Tax district (eg. a two-column list of identifiers, many authorities per district)

The Tax District ID in the parcel data and this latter information is useful to derive county, municipal, or special district boundaries when no better source exists.

building outlines:

● COGCC to inform their decisions on existing or proposed well sites

● CDOT to support the housing component of a statewide travel model

bike routes/trails :

● CDOT to site select bike and pedestrian counter locations

special districts:

● DOLA to assure appropriate distribution of revenues to local governments

● tax districts can be used to coalesce municipal and special district boundaries

PSAP and ESZ boundaries:

● Colorado 911 Resource Center as a reporting tool to the PUC

parcel boundaries, listings of taxing authorities per tax district, and attribute information:

● Allows DOLA to interpret municipal and special district boundaries from parcel data

zoning:

● Informs COGCC decisions on existing or proposed well sites

● Supports CDOT’s housing component of a statewide travel model

Colorado 811 request; may inform agencies of varying interpretations of waterways

Delivering Results: National Governors Association Chair’s Initiative 2014-2015

“But changing the how is not limited to digital services—it includes a variety of other technologies, notably geographic information systems to improve land use planning and disaster response.”
