ENPLAN has compiled geographic information systems (GIS) for over 20 northern California municipalities and services districts. We serve clients just beginning to build systems and those with systems already in place. Highlights of a typical system include:
- High-resolution aerial imagery that serves as a backdrop for viewing all municipal feature layers and schematics as well as a rich information layer of its own.
- Parcel base, infrastructure schematics, and other feature layers georeferenced in conformance with the aerial imagery backdrop.
- A data structure that is intuitive and supports smooth web deployment and presentation map composition.
- Zoning and general plan designations delineated as polygons and attached as attributes to each parcel resulting in clear, simple maps when queried, viewed or printed.
- Task-specific staff training, data maintenance, web deployment, and on-going technical support.
- ArcGIS software at our direct cost as an ESRI reseller.
Take a brief tour below.

Aerial Imagery
High resolution color orthoimagery serves many essential purposes. We use it as a platform on which to compile and georeference data
layers. It is also an excellent backdrop on which to view parcel and infrastructure schematics. On its own, orthoimagery contains
a rich layer of information that can be interpreted and used by anyone. Land uses, structures and other physical features in
existence at the time of collection are recorded in perpetuity.

Parcel Base
A parcel base serves as a framework in which to manage data related to ownership, use entitlements,
services delivery, code enforcement and so on. Data is attached to each parcel and retrieved via a
simple query process. Virtually any digital file can be linked in this manner. The base schematic
also allows a seamless overview of parcel relationships, access corridors and other conditions tied to ownership patterns.

Infrastructure
Any type of infrastructure can be represented and related data managed in a GIS. All key information can be
transferred from hard copy drawings and viewed in digital form with a few key strokes. Retrieval is intuitive
because the user simply navigates to the infrastructure element of interest in the map and selects it.
A variety of databases can be linked and maintained by field staff or others that need not be familiar with GIS operation.

General Plan and Zoning
In order to show land use designations and zone districts, we begin by attaching data to each parcel outside public rights-of-way. General plan and
zoning layers and maps are then automatically generated reflecting these attached data sets. The result is a cleaner representation
of the extents of designations and districts than is commonly achieved with a separate layer of polygons.

Web Deployment
Elements of a GIS can be accessed interactively over the internet using a standard browser. Typical GIS layers and attached data can be viewed by municipal staff, officials and consultants. Public access to data such as zoning can also be provided as a convenience. ENPLAN both compiles and hosts web portals that serve geospatial data. Portal functions are implemented according to client needs. To view the orthoimagery, click on the layer and click off the zoning layer.
