19. Special Flood Hazard Area SFHA Areas Above Flood Plain Gainesville “ SFHA are areas inundated by 100-year flooding with average depths > 1 foot …or an area that is determined to be outside the 100- and 500-year floodplains…” — FDGC Metadata East Gainesville URP 4273: Survey of Planning Information Systems Source: FGDL Data & URP Planning Information Created by URP 4273 Team 3 November 2002

20. SFHA and Exclusion Areas SFHA Areas Above Flood Plain Union of Exclusions and Voids SFHA Flood Areas Above Flood Plain were generated with ArcGIS Geo-Processing by Intersect of shfa.shp and union_final.shp. The desired regions are above the SFHA Flood Plain and not within Areas of Exclusion East Gainesville URP 4273: Survey of Planning Information Systems Source: FGDL Data & URP Planning Information Created by URP 4273 Team 3 November 2002

21. SFHA Intersection SFHA Areas Above Flood Plain SFHA Areas Above Flood Plain Union of Exclusions and Voids The Flood Plain Intersect creates regions that are above the SFHA Flood Plain and not within Areas of Exclusion East Gainesville URP 4273: Survey of Planning Information Systems Source: FGDL Data & URP Planning Information Created by URP 4273 Team 3 November 2002

22. Major Criteria • Site must be located within jurisdictional boundaries of Alachua County • Must not occupy areas having critical habitat areas, natural streams, or historic structures • Location must not occupy area within a flood zone which would create impediments to construction of parking or facilities • Site must not occupy public lands but have easy access to major transportation corridors and public transport routes

23. Result Vacant Parcels SFHA Areas Above Flood Plain Vacant Parcels • PUSE Code (0000, 1000) • Parcels 2-5 acres in size • Selected By Location • Above the Flood Plain • Not in Area of Exclusion East Gainesville URP 4273: Survey of Planning Information Systems Source: FGDL Data & URP Planning Information Created by URP 4273 Team 3 November 2002

29. Conclusions • The data presented provided ample information to find a site meeting the goal objective. • Some data required additional steps involving tabular manipulation to accommodate queries needed to find suitable sites. • Geo-Processing Wizards sometimes required multiple attempts to return useful thematic datasets—wizards did not always accomplish what was expected.
