This dataset is designed to represent and identify the final development plan boundaries in Lexington-Fayette County, Kentucky. This feature class is created and maintained by the Lexington-Fayette Urban County Government (LFUCG) GIS office staff by selecting the parcels involved in the development plan from the LFUCG master parcel feature class, merging them together, and adding the appropriate attribution. Whena new development plan is an amendment to previous plans, the latest existing plan is copy and pasted and hte attributes are updated with the new information. The geometry of this data is not of survey quality and should not be used for survey purposes. The data is intended for general reference purposes only.

As part of the basemap data layers, the parcel boundary map layer is an integral part of the Lexington Fayette-Urban County Government Geographic Information System. Basemap data layers are accessed by personnel in most LFUCG divisions for basic applications such as viewing, querying, and map output production. More advanced user applications may focus on thematic mapping, summarization of data by geography, or planning purposes (including defining boundaries, managing assets and facilities, integrating attribute databases with geographic features, spatial analysis, and presentation output).

The native projection for the data is Kentucky State Plane North (NAD83), but may have been reprojected for use in other applications. Please check metadata to determine current projection.
