A -7 Buildable Lands Inventory Acreage Impact Analysis GIS Analysis Methodology I. Created a shapefile (propstat,A.shp) of the protected area ("protected area file") by buffering features proposed for protection using the proposed setback distances. Buffers were measured from stream centerline for the sm.allest waterways, from wetland boundaries~ and from edge of the water feature on streams and rivers where the edge of water could be identified from 2004 color orthophotography. 2. Intersected the protected area file with the Metro Parcel file, which excluded all non-tax lotted areas. New shapefile called ''parcel-protect_intrsct.shp.'' 3. Intersected "parcel-protect_intrsct.shp" with the Eugene zoning layer to create a new shapefile called "prot""parcel-zone _ intrsct.shp." 4. Edited "prot-parcel-zone_intrsct.shp" to add field "zone type." 5. Created a new shapefile "res.yrot_areas.shp" by selecting the residentially zoned parcels fTOm ''protparcel-zone _ intrsct.shp." 6. Created a new shape file "unbuild Jes-prot _ intrsctshp" by intersecting the shapefile "res....ProCareas.shp" with the shapefile supplied by LCOG from the 1999 Residential Lands Study analysis ("unbuildab Ie_res. shp "). 7. Created a new shapefile "prot-parcel-zone_mfnus_unbuildJe.shp" by erasing the footprint of residential areas from the residential portions of "prot""parcel-zone _intrsct.shp'; using "unbuild Jes~ prot_Jntrsct.shp." This shapefile was used to generate the acreage breakdown by zoning for the buildable protected areas. 8. Created a new shapefile "prot-parcel-zone_minus_unbuild_AG.shp" by selecting only the AG zoned parcels from "protyarcel-zone_minus_unbuHdJe.shp." 9. The shapefile "prot....Parcel-zone_minus_unbuild_AG.shp" was intersected with the Metro Plan designation file to create a new shape file called "protyarcel-zone_min-UB_MPD.shp." 10. The shape file "prot-parcel-zone_min-UB_MPD.shp" was queried for those parcels that were designated for low-, medium- or high density residential use. Data from this shapefile was used to determine how many of the acres zoned AG (shown in "prot-parcel~zolle_minus_unbuildJe.shp") were designated for residential use. 11. reated a new shapefile "plrezone join.shp" by intersecting the protected areas shape file (props tat A.shp) with a selection of the Metro parcel file that contained only tax lots rezoned to PL since 1992. 12. Created a new shapefile "pi-rezone yarcel-join.shp" by taking a list of tax lots rezoned to PL since 1992, and joining them to the Metro parcel file. This shape file was used to cross check the r~sults in step 11.
