Description: In general, the Environmental Corridor policies are intended to
protect wetlands, areas susceptible to the 1 percent annual chance flood (i.e. 100 year

areas is limited to a development density of not greater than one dwelling unit per 10 acres.
Description: This dataset was created by modifying the most recent parcel based Zoning shapefile created by the Jefferson County Land Information Office. Vandewalle and Associates added and populated three fields – “FarmLandPres,” “Zoning_2011,” and "CertDistrict" – to the attribute table.
