SCAG has developed and maintained its regional geospatial dataset of land use information at parcel-level<\/SPAN><\/SPAN>\u2014<\/SPAN><\/SPAN>approximately five million parcels in the SCAG Region. The parcel-based land use dataset is developed (1) to aid in SCAG<\/SPAN><\/SPAN>\u2019<\/SPAN><\/SPAN>s regional transportation planning, scenario planning and growth forecasting, (2) facilitate policy discussion on various planning issues, and (3) enhance information database to better serve SCAG member jurisdictions, research institutes, universities, developers, general public, etc. After the successful release of SCAG<\/SPAN><\/SPAN>\u2019<\/SPAN><\/SPAN>s 2016 regional land use dataset for the development of the Connect SoCal (the 2020 RTP/SCS), SCAG has initiated a process to annually update its regional land use information at the parcel-level (the Annual Land Use Update). <\/SPAN><\/SPAN><\/P> For the Annual Land Use Update process, SCAG collected county assessor<\/SPAN><\/SPAN>\u2019<\/SPAN><\/SPAN>s tax roll records (including parcel polygons and property information) from county assessor<\/SPAN><\/SPAN>\u2019<\/SPAN><\/SPAN>s offices, plus other reference layers including California Protected Areas Database (CPAD), California School Campus Database (CSCD), Farmland Mapping and Monitoring Program (FMMP)'s Important Farmland, U.S. Department of Defense's Military Installations, Ranges, and Training Areas (MIRTA) as well as SCAG's regional geospatial datasets, such as airport polygons and water body polygons<\/SPAN><\/SPAN>.<\/SPAN><\/SPAN><\/P> Note: This dataset is intended for planning purposes only, and SCAG shall incur no responsibility or liability as to the completeness, currentness, or accuracy of this information.
