Description: Advisory Neighborhood Commissions (ANCs) were created pursuant to legislation approving the District of Columbia's Home Rule charter in 1973. They are collections of Single Member Districts (SMDs). ANCs allow input from an advisory board made up of the residents of the neighborhoods directly affected by government action. The ANCs are the body of government with the closest official ties to the people in a neighborhood. ANCs present their positions and recommendations on issues to various District government agencies, the Executive Branch, and the Council. They also present testimony to independent agencies, boards and commissions, usually under rules of procedure specific to those entities. By law, the ANCs may also present their positions to Federal agencies. ANCs consider a wide range of policies and programs affecting their neighborhoods. These include traffic, parking, recreation, street improvements, liquor licenses, zoning, economic development, police protection, sanitation and trash collection, and the District's annual budget. No public policy area is excluded from the purview of the Advisory Neighborhood Commissions. ANCs present their positions and recommendations on issues to various District government agencies, the Executive Branch, and the Council. They also present testimony to independent agencies, boards and commissions, usually under rules of procedure specific to those entities. By law, the ANCs may also present their positions to Federal agencies.This dataset reflects the ANC boundaries delineated in the Advisory Neighborhood Commission Boundaries Act of 2022, signed into law on June 16, 2022. They are in effect beginning January 1, 2023.

Description: Advisory Neighborhood Commissions or ANC's are collections of Single Member Districts or SMD's. There are multiple ANC's for each of the eight Wards. The initial number of ANC codes correspond to the ward. Three ANC's cross ward boundaries; 3C, 3G and 6D, the remaining do not. ANC's consider a wide range of policies and programs affecting their neighborhoods. These include traffic, parking, recreation, street improvements, liquor licenses, zoning, economic development, police protection, sanitation and trash collection, and the District's annual budget.

Description: District of Columbia boundary. The dataset is a polygon representing the District of Columbia boundary, created as part of the DC Geographic Information System (DC GIS) for the D.C. Office of the Chief Technology Officer (OCTO) and participating D.C. government agencies. The boundary was identified from public records and heads-up digitized using a combination of the 1995 orthophotographs, planimetric roads features, and the USGS digital raster graphic quad sheets, and 1999 planimetrics for the Potomac River boundary.Also see the District's Boundary Stone markers.
Description: District of Columbia quadrants. The dataset contains locations and attributes of the District of Columbia quadrants, created as part of the DC Geographic Information System (DC GIS) for the D.C. Office of the Chief Technology Officer (OCTO) and participating D.C. government agencies.The DCQuadPly was updated in January 2022 in the three following areas: 1) South Capitol Street has had major changes in its location due to the Frederick Douglass Bridge Project. These changes include the actual South Capitol Street Bridge and the adjacent new ovals to the north and south. The new quadrant boundary generally runs along the median of South Capitol Street. There is a small triangular area that is south of the north oval and also west of the South Capitol Street bridge which is in fact part of the Southeast quadrant. 2) boundary was redrawn around 1 HAWAII AVENUE NE so that the address is located in the NE quadrant. 3) Small adjustment of the boundary by Kansas Avenue NW.

Description: Parking enforcement in Washington DC is organized by assigning parking enforcement officers to beats that must be patrolled to detect parking violations and to issue tickets to violators. The beats are sized according to methods used to patrol the beat and according to the amount of available parking spaces in the public right of way, and the level of enforcement required due to signs, meters, and regulations.
Description: This data set describes Neighborhood Clusters that have been used for community planning and related purposes in the District of Columbia for many years. It does not represent boundaries of District of Columbia neighborhoods. Cluster boundaries were established in the early 2000s based on the professional judgment of the staff of the Office of Planning as reasonably descriptive units of the City for planning purposes. Once created, these boundaries have been maintained unchanged to facilitate comparisons over time, and have been used by many city agencies and outside analysts for this purpose. (The exception is that 7 “additional” areas were added to fill the gaps in the original dataset, which omitted areas without significant neighborhood character such as Rock Creek Park, the National Mall, and the Naval Observatory.) The District of Columbia does not have official neighborhood boundaries. The Office of Planning provides a separate data layer containing Neighborhood Labels that it uses to place neighborhood names on its maps. No formal set of standards describes which neighborhoods are included in that dataset.Whereas neighborhood boundaries can be subjective and fluid over time, these Neighborhood Clusters represent a stable set of boundaries that can be used to describe conditions within the District of Columbia over time.
Description: This dataset was created by the DC Office of Planning and provides a simplified representation of the neighborhoods of the District of Columbia. These boundaries are used by the Office of Planning to determine appropriate locations for placement of neighborhood names on maps. They do not reflect detailed boundary information, do not necessarily include all commonly-used neighborhood designations, do not match planimetric centerlines, and do not necessarily match Neighborhood Cluster boundaries. There is no formal set of standards that describes which neighborhoods are represented or where boundaries are placed. These informal boundaries are not appropriate for display, calculation, or reporting. Their only appropriate use is to guide the placement of text labels for DC's neighborhoods. This is an informal product used for internal mapping purposes only. It should be considered draft, will be subject to change on an irregular basis, and is not intended for publication.

Description: 2019 Voting Precincts: This dataset comprises polygons delineating the boundaries of voting precincts within the District of Columbia. These precincts were adjusted following the ward redistricting subsequent to the 2010 census. They were officially designated by the DC Board of Elections (DCBOE) and developed within the framework of the DC Geographic Information System (DC GIS) for the D.C. Office of the Chief Technology Officer (OCTO) and other relevant D.C. governmental bodies. The boundaries are currently in the process of being updated.As per D.C. Law 24-342, known as the Elections Modernization Amendment Act of 2022, the District has implemented centralized polling locations known as Vote Centers. Eligible voters can now cast their ballots at these centers regardless of their address within the District, eliminating the previous tie to precincts.

Description: The city has been disected into twenty-two (22) sections referred to as Construction Permits Boundaries or Inspectors' Boundaries. These boundaries are intended to be used to aid inspectors/supervisors asign permits within set boundaries to the appropriate persons.
Description: Obscured Areas are areas in the compilation imagery that due to shadows, dense vegetation, heavy tree cover, building lean, etc., that completely block out all image detail and nothing can be seen or interpolated to meet accuracy or project scope. Since these areas are obscured by shadows, the level of confidence in the placement of the bounding lines is reduced.
