GIS Project: Update the Zoning Map

It looks like the free ArcGIS Explorer will be a good platform for viewing our aerial photography and other layers. ArcGIS Explorer has some improved features, including "swiping" one layer aside to look at the layer below it.

In order to give Planning & Zoning some reference tools, we're going to update the zoning map layer that was created last year by Freyou & Moore, then view it with aerial photography and perhaps the parcel layer from the Assessor's office. We will also create a workflow that will ensure that the zoning map continues to be updated and current.

In the short term, this will be a local application in the Planning & Zoning office. Once we have our enterprise GIS server in place, these layers will be available to other interested departments.
