West Meade Environmental Overlay District GIS Map

This interactive GIS map identifies the parcels, environmental features, terrain conditions, and geologic information used to define and evaluate the West Meade Environmental Overlay District.

About the West Meade Hillside Environmental Overlay District

The West Meade Hillside Environmental Overlay District is an overlay designed to establish objective development standards that protect the long-term stability and function of environmentally sensitive hillside lands to promote public health, safety, and welfare, while allowing reasonable development consistent with the natural characteristics of the site. The overlay encourages development that minimizes unnecessary grading, excavation, blasting, tree removal, and other forms of land disturbance to avoid the risk of landslides, erosion, excessive stormwater runoff, and other avoidable geologic and hydrologic hazards.

About the map

The map shows the geographic relationship between the Overlay District and the natural features it is designed to protect, including steep slopes, ridgelines, tree canopy, problem soils, documented landslide areas, elevation contours, and bedrock geologic boundaries.
