  1. Title: San Lorenzo Valley Response Areas: Santa Cruz County, California, 2015

    Contributors:

    Summary: This polygon shapefile represents San Lorenzo Valley emergency response areas in the County of Santa Cruz, California. These Areas were created to have a single contact person for a neighborhood or group of houses within the San Lorenzo Valley Area. In the event of a natural disaster, the contact person would be responsible for making sure that each household had been checked and notified of what to do (i.e. evacuate, where to go, etc.). The phone numbers of these individuals are confidential, and not used for any purpose other than notification during or after a natural disaster. Attributes contain a 2 letter code for general area and a 1 or 2 digit number for more specific areas. This layer is part of a collection of GIS data created for Santa Cruz County, California. The Geographic Information Systems (GIS) Unit falls under the purview of the County of Santa Cruz Information Services Department. The GIS Unit serves all County departments and external customers and provides data on land, features and people of Santa Cruz County.

Layer was redrawn in March 03 to convert to the NAD83 placement and to capture most recent parcel configurations. These data were compiled from many different sources; therefore, the accuracy of the individual layers varies significantly, and some layers do not align exactly with others.

  9. Title: Zones of Benefit: Santa Cruz County, California, 2015

    Contributors:

    Summary: This polygon shapefile depicts residential parcels in the unicorporated areas of the County of Santa Cruz, California. With the exception of areas in recreation districts and incorporated cities, this coverage can be used to assess for debt service. In unincorporated areas, basic services like water, sewer, police and fire protection are provided by the County. Because counties often consist of large and diverse geographical areas, providing a consistent and adequate service level across all areas can be difficult. Residents of urban communities may want more services than those residing in rural areas. The County Service Area Law (Government Code §25210.1 et seq.) was created in the 1950’s to provide a means of providing expanded tailored service levels in areas where residents are willing to pay for the extra service. When a county service area, or zone of benefit, exists, property owners will pay taxes and fees to the County Service Area instead of the county for the services provided.
