Title
Generalized Land Use 2016 [Minnesota]
Description
The 2016 Generalized Land Use Inventory dataset encompasses the seven county Twin Cities (Minneapolis and St. Paul) Metropolitan Area in Minnesota. The dataset was developed by the Metropolitan Council, a regional governmental organization that deals, in part, with regional issues and long range planning for the Twin Cities area. The data were interpreted from 2016 air photos, with additional assistance from county parcel data and assessor's information, Internet information, field checks , and community review. The following generalized land use classes are used (some of which have subclasses): Single Family Residential Multifamily Residential Office Retail and Other Commercial Mixed Use Industrial and Utility Extractive Institutional Park, Recreational, or Preserve Golf Course Major Highway Railway Airport Agriculture Undeveloped Water See Section 5 of the metadata for a detailed description of each of these land use categories and available subcategories. Note: Although this dataset does contain an 'Undeveloped' land category, this dataset does not attempt to delineate what lands might be considered developable. The definition of that category can be found in Section 5 of this metadata. More information about the Metropolitan Council's generalized land use data can be found here <a href="https://resources.gisdata.mn.gov/pub/gdrs/data/pub/us_mn_state_metc/plan_generl_lnduse2016/metadata/landuse_notes.pdf" target=_blank>Landuse Notes</a>, To aid in forecasting region-wide land supply and demand and to be used as a general regional planning tool. This data does not indicate developability of land, but does show the location of 'Undeveloped' land based on the definition described in Section 5 of this metadata., The dates of the original aerial photography were April 9-22, 2016. County parcel and assessors data was from varying dates in the spring of 2016.Minor modifications were made in December 2020 to some of the land use classifications to correct for coding inconsitstencies.
