Development Sites are property boundaries used by the Seattle Department of Construction and Inspections (SDCI) to apply code standards. The dataset includes sites with statuses 'ACTIVE', 'PRESUMED', or 'UPDATE', and excludes those with IDs beginning with 'UN' or 'WB'. It is maintained by the City of Seattle and was last updated on March 22, 2026.
Use Cases
- Map development site boundaries for urban planning based on the described property boundaries.
- Analyze the overlap between development sites and tax parcels for land use assessment.
- Filter and visualize active construction zones based on the 'DEVSITE STATUS' field mentioned in the definition query.
- Identify right-of-way areas for infrastructure planning using the symbology logic for 'RW' identifiers.
Strengths
- Data is actively maintained by a municipal authority (City of Seattle).
- Includes a clear definition query specifying active statuses and exclusions.
- Available in multiple geospatial formats (KML, GeoPackage, GeoJSON).
Limitations
- Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download.
- Row count and dataset size are unknown, which may limit suitability assessment.
- Freshness should be verified as the last update date is in the future (2026-03 22).
