Description: Situs Addresses for Volusia County. Maintained by Growth and Resource Management. Addresses are determined by the cities for their jurisdiction and by the County Growth and Resource Management Department within the County. Situs Address points are placed on the parcel centroid or building for larger parcels. The parcel basemap and aerial photography is used to determine the best placement of the situs point. Condominium addresses are placed for the main building and sometimes for the individual units if possible.
Description: Volusia County Advertising Districts - In 1984 a "special taxing district" was formed to levy the Convention Development Tax within the Halifax Advertising Tax District. In 1987 a "special levy for outside the above special taxing district" was enacted for the Southeast Volusia Advertising Authority. That same year a sub-county levy was enacted for the West Volusia Advertising Authority. The Convention Development Taxes were levied for the taxable privilege of leasing or letting of short term rentals and is to be used for the following purposes: (a) To promote and advertise tourism; (b) to fund conventions bureaus, tourist bureaus, tourist information centers, and news bureaus. The rate for these taxes is 3 percent.
Description: The Airports database is a geographic point database of aircraft landing facilities in the United States and U.S. Territories.

Description: Brownfields are defined by the Florida Department of Environmental Protection (FDEP) as abandoned, idled, or underused industrial and commercial facilities where expansion or redevelopment is complicated by real or perceived environmental contamination. The primary goals of Florida's Brownfields Redevelopment Act (Ch. 97-277, Laws of Florida, codified at ss. 376.77-.85, F.S.) are to reduce health and environmental hazards on existing commercial and industrial sites that are abandoned or underused due to these hazards and create financial and regulatory incentives to encourage redevelopment and voluntary cleanup of contaminated properties. A 'brownfield area' means a contiguous area of one or more brownfield sites, some of which may not be contaminated, that has been designated as such by a local government resolution. Such areas may include all or portions of community redevelopment areas, enterprise zones, empowerment zones, other such designated economically deprived communities and areas, and Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) designated brownfield pilot projects. This layer provides a polygon representation of the boundaries of these designated Brownfield Areas in Volusia County. The data presented here is an extract of the the FDEP statewide Brownfield Areas shapefile and contains only areas within Volusia County.
Copyright Text: Accuracy: This layer provides a polygon representation of the boundaries of designated Brownfield Areas within Florida where a resolution has been passed by a local municipality. These polygons were created using various methodologies for creating digital spatial data depending upon the type of information provided by the municipality within the resolution and loosely dependent upon the cadastral (parcel) boundaries provided by the County Property Appraisers at the time when the spatial boundaries were developed. Since the data quality of the cadastral layer varies from county to county, the data quality of the brownfield area polygons will also vary. These methodologies include the following list: Coordinate Geometry (COGO) created from legal descriptions of the area specified in the resolution. Many of the brownfields include a large area with hundreds of property parcels. These boundaries were compared with the most recent cadastral boundaries available from the County Property Appraiser and spatially adjusted where necessary to clearly include the property parcels marked for redevelopment, the roadway right of way areas (where applicable), city boundaries, political boundaries, and other economic incentive zones. Shapefiles, Coverages and CADD files of the area were provided by the local municipality or planning and development agencies in some cases. These shapefiles were used without modification to the geometry to match cadastral boundaries. Coverages and CADD files were converted to a format compatible with the process software. Paper Maps showing the scaled boundaries of the area in relation to property parcels, geographic landmarks, and land surveys are sometimes included in the resolution. These maps are compared to available GIS boundaries in order to locate the specific property parcels referenced. The available cadastral boundaries are used to represent the area where only paper maps or parcel folio numbers are provided.

Description: This is a subset from StormSurge Cat1 Coastal as defined below per statue.The Coastal High Hazard Area is an area particularly vulnerable to the effects of coastal flooding from tropical storm events and is defined by section 163.3178(2)(h)9, Florida Statutes, as the area below the elevation of the category 1 storm surge line as established by a Sea, Lake, and Overland Surges from Hurricanes (SLOSH) computerized storm surge model.http://www.floridajobs.org/community-planning-and-development/programs/community-planning-table-of-contents/coastal-high-hazard-areasThis Storm Surge data was developed as part of the Statewide Regional Evacuation Study (SRES) conducted by the Florida Department of Emergency Management and is an output of the storm surge model created for the SRES study.

This section does not apply to maps adopted pursuant to part II of chapter 163.
Description: Community Redevelopment Areas are areas identified and designated by local elected and economic development officials. Questions should be directed to the appropriate city or to the Volusia County Economic Development Office at (386) 248-8048. Data was extracted from the Volusia County Property Appraiser’s database based on CRA number and dissolved to create single CRA polygons. Gaps created by roads between these CRA polygons were then filled to create boundary polygons.
Description: The Volusia Conservation Corridor (VCC) is a mosaic of contiguous parcels of land, approximately 55,000 acres in size, which sits essentially in the middle of the county and connects lands north of the city of Deltona and east to the city of Edgewater. These lands include habitat needed for federal and state listed endangered and threatened species such as the Florida black bear, Florida sandhill crane, Florida scrub jay, bald eagle, wood stork, red-cockaded woodpecker, gopher tortoise, indigo snake, and Florida pine snake. Preliminary ground water modeling and natural resource assessments have indicated the potential for additional water supply development; thus is provides for water resource development. The land is also critical in providing flood protection for existing and future populations, protecting surface and ground water quality, and providing resource-based recreation for both residents and tourists alike. The potential acquisition area is highly suitable due to its large size, relatively intact natural systems, extensive wetlands and water resources, and critical habitat for migrating waterfowl, black bear and other important species. While significant as an independent resource, the project is perhaps even more valuable in its function as a connector and wildlife corridor linking numerous protected areas. Land connections prevent further habitat fragmentation that causes the isolation and demise of small populations. This corridor is the link that will connect land from the Okefenokee Swamp at the top of the state to the Everglades. Excellent recreational potential exists for hiking, fishing, hunting, camping, horseback riding, and nature study. Close proximity to large urban areas and major transportation corridors suggests that recreational needs will increase. The Florida Scenic Trail system traverses the region and provides further opportunities for public access and recreation.
