Core Downtown Burlington parking lot data was originally obtained from the City of Burlington Department of Public Works. The City's consultant, Wilbur Smith Associates, Inc. (WSA) originally digitized parking lot polygons for the "Downtown Burlington Parking Study" (March 2003). CCMPO has subsequently undertaken work to digitize parking lots for the remainder of Chittenden County.

Description:

Abstract:

This geospatial database is a working inventory of surface and underground parking lots within Chittenden County, Vermont. All polygons represent existing parking lots and contain an attribute table listing; Entrance locations of lots, Landuse type for the lot, Total number of parking spaces, designated ADA parking spaces, Municipal Zoning codes, and other descriptive information, as well as inherent polygon area.

This database was originally conceived and created from parking lot polygons digitzed for the "Downtown Burlington Parking Study" (March 2003). CCMPO has subsequently undertaken work to digitize parking lots for the remainder of Chittenden County using the 2004 Digital Color Orthophotos from EarthData International. Staff who completed work on this database were; Daryl Benoit (2006-2008), Evan Kamien (2006-2007), Taylor Newton (2007), and Chris Dubin (2008).

Purpose:

This database is intended for use evaluating the parking capacity and status of Chittenden County as well as analyzing potential park and ride sites lots along major transit corridors (notably "Lease Lots").

Supplemental_Information:

This project began in FY2007-08, authorised as a mid-year adjustment of tasks by the CCMPO Unified Planning Work Program (UPWP) Committee.

Data_Quality_Information:

Attribute_Accuracy:

Attribute_Accuracy_Report:

CC_LUSE_03 (Verification Datalayer) ~ This information was compiled from a 2003 Land Use layer created by CCRPC. It contains American Planning Association (APA) land use codes and a layer file that contains the symbology. In order to conflate these codes into the Chittenden County Parking Inventory shapefile attribute table, the parking lot parcels were converted to points, buffered, and then spatially joined to the Land Use layer so that the attribute field could be populated with the correct codes. In sum, each parking lot centroid was codified to be within a single land use area. This methodology does not always accurately reflect ground truth, because some parking lots may traverse multiple zoning areas or land use categories. However it provided a way to conflate a single Land Use code value per polygon using a uniform method. Although there may be some degree of error, it was considered to be insubstantial enough for the current scope of this study, and may be updated with corrections over time.

DESCRIP (Attribute) ~ Description of parking lots' corresponding building. This could be as simple as 'apartments' or 'Bike Shop', and in some cases, the names of buildings. GoogleEarth or general knowledge of the area were the primary references for the populating this field. This field will continue to be a work in progress as it is useful for a descriptive reference within the database.

ENT_LOC (Attribute) ~ This field is populated with road names of the entrance locations to each parking lot. The use of a '/' indicates a road with multiple labels, like Rt. 117/River Rd. The use of 'and' refers to a second entrance on a separate road.

HC_SPCS (Attribute) ~ Refers to the total number of visible disbabled and elderly spots. This number is only accurate based on the number of visibly vacant and delineated spots.

TOTAL_SPCS (Attribute) ~ Total number of delineated or estimated parking spaces within the parking lot.

LANDUSE (Attribute) ~ This is a completely subjective field based on the user's interpretation of the Parking lots' corresponding building use. Values usually include a mix of commercial, industrial, residential, or retail.

NOTES (Attribute) ~ An extra field for notes of importance that cannot be expressed in other categories.

TOWN (Attribute) ~ The name of the town in which the polygon exists within. Populated by VCGI's town boundary layer. Useful for town-based analysis.

ZONING (Attribute) ~ The municipal zoning code for the respective lot. Most towns have a two to four letter code signifying the land use for the area. Codes are unique to each town and the most up to date zoning information was used for each town or village.

LCBS_2003 (Attribute) ~ APA Land-Based Classification Standards (LBCS) Code assigned to Parking Lot.

Logical_Consistency_Report:

This shapefile was digitized from 2004 spatially referenced Sid imagery provided by EarthData International and owned by CCMPO. This same imagery can be found on GoogleEarth (2008) for available towns. The following areas were not addressed because of the lack of quality data; Westford, Underhill, Bolton, Huntington, and portions of Charlotte.

Methodology of inclusion of lots for database included large parking lots with cars. Lots without parking delineation lines are still estimated for a total number of parking spaces. If lots are residential, they need to be large enough (i.e. part of condominium or townhouse units) to be addeded. Areas with large tractor-trailer trucks were not necessarily added. Back lots will not necessarily added unless significant in size or in use. Truck Bay Parking spots (although sometimes delineated) have not be tallied. Large dirt lots were included. When roads (separated from the parking area by islands) line both sides of the parking lot, one road will be included in the area of the parking lot. Driveways to lots were not always included. Islands and non-pavement areas within parking lots were clipped out where possible. Details for this nature of inclusion will be standardized in forthcoming updates.

Completeness_Report:

Polygons were digitized from 2004 imagery. Updates with newer polygons will happen in the future using GPS units, ground truthing,and newer releases of aerial or other remote sensing data.

Horizontal_Positional_Accuracy:

Horizontal_Positional_Accuracy_Report:

Most polygons used to create parking lot polygons were digitized from 2004 georegistered imagery.

The mapping includes production of color digital orthophotography with a pixel of 16 centimeters using imagery collected with Leica ADS40 digital pushbroom sensor and processed with the ISTAR system. This data has been produced to be fully compliant with National Map Accuracy Standards (NMAS) for mapping at a scale of 1/1250. This was ensured by the placement of GPS ground control points prior to the acquisition of aerial imagery.

Source_Contribution:

The purpose of this dataset is to update the 2003 American Planning Association's Land-Based Classification Standards (LBCS) data for as much of Chittenden County as possible. As significant growth has taken place in the county, many parcels have been divided or changed. This dataset attempts to apply land use codes to these changed parcels. The priority in creating this dataset was to find codes for uncoded parcels, though in some cases new codes were applied to parcels that have changed land usage since 2003. More information on LBCS can be found @ <http://myapa.planning.org/lbcs/>

The logical consistency of this dataset is only as good as that of the parcel data provided by the towns
