Assessment

• Open License Yes

• Transferable to Other Jurisdictions No

  Zoning laws are riddled with localized idiosyncrasies. As a result, devising a standard that spans jurisdictions has proven to be difficult

  Metro regional government is the only contributor to the standard's development

• Consensus-Based Governance No

  Standard has no mailing list or way to offer advice/file issues with publishers

• Extensions No

• Machine Readable Yes

  Shapefile with attribute data stored in a data table
