Process Description:
Office of Smart Growth Process (Taken from Planning Areas of the NJ State Development and Redevelopment Plan, adopted March 1, 2001 metadata) - "Through the Cross - acceptance process, a series of 1:24,000 film USGS quadrangle registered maps defining the Planning Area boundaries of the New Jersey State Development and Redevelopment Plan was created. Locations of the boundaries were originally refined using hardcopy orthophotoquads as produced by Markhurd Corp (1986). Later boundaries were digitized using digital orthophotos at 3 - meter resolution (1991), and latter still, using 1995 digital orthophotos at 1 - meter resolution from USGS." NJDEP Process - Planning area boundaries for the CAFRA area were clipped from the splan2 shapefile of the 2001 State Plan Policy Map. NJDEP municipality/ county shapefile was intersected into the Coastal Planning Area shapefile. This shapefile then was recalculated to update perimeter, area and acre values. Attributes were modified to reflect the application of the planning areas in the Coastal Zone Management rules, N.J.A.C. 7:7E.
