How to read this evidence

Community Planning Areas (CPAs) replace the City Community Identity Areas incorporated into the Comp Plan in 2003. There are 12 City CPAs. The CPA boundaries are drawn to better match U.S. Census tracts, allowing the City to gather demographic, employment, and commuting data and to track growth and development trends over time. They also reflect (to the extent possible) jurisdictional roles and responsibilities for future long-range planning efforts and ongoing implementation and monitoring of the Comp Plan. The City CPAs are intended to be the areas where long-range planning staff work on a 5-year cycle with local stakeholders and agency representatives to identify issues, opportunities, character elements, priority capital improvements, and recommendations for updates to the Comp Plan and the Integrated Development Ordinance (IDO). The source boundary has been normalized by its published identity; no Census, housing or school values are assigned to this polygon. Neighboring or overlapping areas can use different definitions.

Area boundaries do not establish school attendance, a property’s local jurisdiction or a household’s experience. Check the specific address with the responsible agency.
