LACOURT Land Use Plan: Restricted Urban and Natural Zones

LACOURT's regulated zoning data, digitized according to national CNIG requirements, details restricted urban and natural areas. The dataset, provided by the Bureau de Recherches Géologiques et Minières, was last updated in February 2024. It classifies zones for urban development, activity areas, and natural protection based on the local land use plan (POS).

Use Cases

• Classify land parcels for development suitability based on the described UA, UB, UC, and UJ urban zone types.
• Model environmental or agricultural protection areas based on the described NC and ND natural zone classifications.
• Analyze zoning regulations for specific construction purposes (e.g., housing, commerce, industry) based on the attached area-specific by-laws mentioned in the description.

Strengths

• Data is digitized in accordance with national CNIG standards, suggesting a structured format.
• Provides a detailed hierarchical classification of urban (U) and natural (N) zones with sub-categories like UA, NB, and NC.

Limitations

• Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download.
• Row count is unknown, which may limit suitability assessment.
• The description states the plan was rendered void and reverted to the RNU in 2016, which may affect its current legal applicability.
