Download Data:
This data layer is a subset of the Street Centerlines layer showing roads that are designated as “scenic”. Any fence built along these roads is subject to Ordinance 20-40 section 6. The purpose of that section of the ordinance is to preserve the character of these roads. The 17 designated scenic roads are listed at the bottom of the page where this ordinance appears (p. 358 for the 2007 Ordinances). The precise definition of these roads is from Board Order #680-76 dated July 5, 1977. This order defines the specific sections of each road that have the scenic designation.
This layer is used to flag these properties so that homeowners or developers are aware of these regulations. It is used in the Inspectional Services Department on their front counter GIS.
