| Description | |||
| Abstract: Represents districts that are listed on the National Register of Historic Places (National Historic designation) and the Virginia Landmarks Register (State designation). Districts may logically carry either both designations or the State designation alone. Both of these programs are administered by the Virginia Department of Historic Resources in conjunction with the City of Richmond Bureau of Housing and Neighborhood Preservation. Properties that fall within these districts may be entitled to various development incentives. Note that some districts overlap. | |||
| Purpose: Properties that fall within National Register Districts may be entitled to various development incentives. This GIS layer is used to relate properties (hence addresses) to the correlating Historic Registered District for use in the City's data warehousing and central address systems. | |||
| Supplemental Information: Special note about Historic Sites: The Federal and State designations of 'National Historic Sites' (as opposed to 'Districts') make a real distinction between between Sites and Districts, while the City does not actually make a distinction between Historic City Sites and Districts in code, and really treats them the same in ordinance language. We are still providing GIS *.lyr file solutions for displaying both types of historic sites as distinct layers. (This was originally requested to support Central Address/Data Warehousing requirements) There is a table called "ldmk_HistoricSite," which is a comprehensive (and classified) list of all of these National and City sites. A relationship is established between the records in this table and the Points Of Interest and Areas of Interest in the Landmarks dataset. Furthermore, there are two different spatial views created in the vector database that map these 'Site' records with Areas of Interest features. Feature level metadata is provided in the EditBy and EditDate fields. Every feature in the GIS layer tracks who edited it, and when it was last edited. Additional feature level metadata is provided in the AdoptionDate field that indicates the enacting dates when specific national register areas became official.
