Data dictionary
This page contains details about what information is available for developments and components in the Development Pipeline Data Inspector.
Developments
The development records provide a small amount of information about each development in the region. CMAP currently only tracks developments that consume at least one acre of land OR consist of at least 10 residential units OR consist of 10,000 square feet of non-residential space. Additionally, only expansions, new construction, and renovations with a change in land use are tracked (so, for example, condo-to-apartment conversions or vice versa are not included).
| Attribute Name | Description |
|---|---|
| Development ID | A unique numeric development identifier assigned to each development by CMAP |
| Development Name | The name of the development |
| Primary Developer | The name of the developer responsible for the project |
| Municipality | The community in which the development is located |
| Acreage | The acreage of the entire development (including all components) |
| Former Use | For redevelopment projects, the land use of the prior development that is being replaced |
| Notes | Miscellaneous information about the project added by CMAP staff |
| Corrections? | A user-editable field for submitting corrections to CMAP when inaccurate information about a development is discovered |
Components
CMAP divides developments into distinct components, with land use and phasing being the primary differentiators. The component records contain the bulk of the information that CMAP tracks for a given development. Many smaller developments have only a single component, but all of them have at least one, and larger developments may have many.
| Attribute Name | Description |
|---|---|
| Component ID | A unique numeric development identifier assigned to each component by CMAP |
| Component Name | The name of the component. (When a component doesn’t have an official name, such as a phase, this will often be either an address range or a description of the component’s land use.) |
| Development ID | The unique numeric ID of the overarching development |
| Development Name | The name of the overarching development |
| Address | The street address or intersection of the component |
| Municipality | The community in which the overarching development is located |
