In a strategic move to improve land use planning and insights across the country, Regrid in Detroit, in partnership with Zoneomics, has unveiled its latest innovation: the Standardized Zoning geospatial product.
Regrid provides a public map and app for exploring land parcel data in the United States. It makes parcel data available to businesses, developers, and researchers via API, downloads, cloud delivery, and the Esri-compatible Feature Service.
The launch of the Standardized Zoning product marks a significant milestone for Regrid, the company states, by reinforcing its mission to deliver geospatial property insights and a holistic view of land use.
As a pioneer in land parcel mapping and location intelligence, Regrid has been recognized for offering the only 100 percent Land Parcel Coverage Map in the nation.
Understanding the permitted uses of land due to zoning can be a very complicated issue for professionals and stakeholders, whether at the local or national level.
Because each municipality drafts and enforces its own zoning ordinance, comparing data across various jurisdictions is time-consuming. Regrid’s new standardized zoning product has enhanced the process by simplifying the acquisition of in-depth insights into land use permission through national standardization of local zoning data sets.
The Standardized Zoning products provide a geospatial layer accessible through flexible delivery methods including bulk files, API, and an Esri-Compatible Feature Service, matched with Regrid’s extensive nationwide parcel data.
It encompasses more than 87 million land parcels and nearly 6,400 municipalities across the USA, with monthly updates of ongoing expansion.
“The bottom line is that zoning is critical for understanding land use — both what exists today, and what could exist tomorrow,” says Jerry Paffendorf, CEO of Regrid. “Zoning is an invisible shaper of what life is like and what amenities are available in our communities, or not. We’re excited to help make it visible so people can more easily conform to it, or propose changes when appropriate.”
Regrid’s Standardized Zoning product provides a geospatial layer that includes 26 fields of comprehensive zoning boundary data: zoning code, description, standardized type, zoning sub-type, setback restrictions, floor-to-area ratio (FAR), lot size, and coverage limitations, plus many more permitted land use details.
Regrid’s Standardized Zoning product and its enhanced Premium Schema are now available.
