Building Footprints

Building structures include parking garages, ruins, monuments, and buildings under construction along with residential, commercial, industrial, apartment, townhouses, duplexes, etc. Buildings equal to or larger than 9.29 square meters (100 square feet) are captured. Buildings are delineated around the roof line showing the building "footprint." Roof breaks and rooflines, such as between individual residences in row houses or separate spaces in office structures, are captured to partition building footprints. This includes capturing all sheds, garages, or other non-addressable buildings over 100 square feet throughout the city. Atriums, courtyards, and other “holes” in buildings created as part of demarcating the building outline are not part of the building capture. This includes construction trailers greater than 100 square feet. Memorials are delineated around a roof line showing the building "footprint."Bleachers are delineated around the base of connected sets of bleachers. Parking Garages are delineated at the perimeter of the parking garage including ramps. Parking garages sharing a common boundary with linear features must have the common segment captured once. A parking garage is only attributed as such if there is rooftop parking. Not all rooftop parking is a parking garage, however. There are structures that only have rooftop parking but serve as a business. Those are captured as buildings. Fountains are delineated around the base of fountain structures.
