Abstract/Contents

Abstract: This polygon shapefile depicts boundaries where residential development is excluded in the Coastal Zone of the County of Santa Cruz, California as detailed in the Santa Cruz County Code 13.20.071. This Coastal Zone was defined by the California Coastal Act of 1976, Division 20 of the California Public Resources Code, as the Coastal Zone. In Santa Cruz County, this zone extends about five miles inland from the North Coast. From Natural Bridges to 41st Avenue in Capitola, it extends about 0.6 miles inland. From Capitola to the south County boundary, it extends to Highway One. This layer is part of a collection of GIS data created for Santa Cruz County, California.
Purpose: The Geographic Information Systems (GIS) Unit falls under the purview of the County of Santa Cruz Information Services Department. The GIS Unit serves all County departments and external customers and provides data on land, features and people of Santa Cruz County. Santa Cruz County encompasses 4 cities and approximately 265,000 people. This coverage can be used for basic applications such as viewing, querying and map output production, or to provide a basemap to support graphical overlays and analyses of geospatial data.

Supplemental information	GIS Layer Number = 65/Original Source Map: Residential Exclusion Zone map included with County Code 13.20.071. Boundaries were copied onto paper maps of our parcel and road base. These boundaries were then converted to AutoCAD layers. The layer was made more accurate by removing areas within Scenic Resource Areas and areas within 100' of streams. Santa Cruz County Code Chapter 13.20: http://www.codepublishing.com/ca/santacruzcounty/html/SantaCruzCounty13/SantaCruzCounty1320.html
Use limitation	These data were compiled from many different sources; therefore, the accuracy of the individual layers varies significantly, and some layers do not align exactly with others. In the urban areas, data are generally accurate within five to ten feet of their true geographic coordinates, but in the rural areas, data may be accurate to only within three hundred feet. With these limitations, the County of Santa Cruz disclaims any responsibility for the accuracy or correctness of this data. This disclaimer is exclusive and in lieu of any warranties, fitness for particular purpose, and/or any other type of warranty, whether expressed or implied.
