Description:

Abstract:

This dataset contains the boundaries of Nodes of the NJ State Development and Redevelopment Plan (NJSDRP). A Node is an existing or planned concentration of facilities and activities which are not organized in a compact form. Types of nodes include Commercial-Manufacturing nodes and Heavy Industry-Transportation-Utility nodes. An Existing Node is a concentration of facilities and activities that are not organized in a compact form and are encouraged to be retrofitted over time to reduce automobile dependency, diversify land uses, and enhance linkages to communities. A new Node may identify new heavy industry, transportation or utility facilities and activities as part of Plan Endorsement. A new Node should be organized in a compact form and located in Centers and other appropriate areas in Metropolitan or Suburban Planning Areas or Centers in Fringe, Rural or Environmentally Sensitive Planning Areas. Refer to the NJSDRP for further description of the geographic nature of Nodes.

Purpose:

The Nodes file was created to help implement the goals of the New Jersey State Plan. It is used for making maps illustrating the NJSDRP, for analyzing the NJSDRP and for comparison to other GIS files and mapping. The State Plan is not itself a regulation but a statement of State policy that has been adopted by the State Planning Commission pursuant to statute to guide State, regional and local agencies in the exercise of their statutory authority.

Supplemental_Information:

7-6-12 Added Node as part of Berkeley Plan Endorsement. 1-26-09 Added item 'nodedate' which is the Node creation date.Related Data Files: Splan2 - Planning Areas of the NJ State Plan (polygon); Cenlne2 - Centers of the NJ State Plan (polygons); Cehs2 - Critical Environmental and Historic Sites of the NJ State Plan (polygons); Hcs2 - Historic and Cultural Sites of the NJ State Plan (points); Endorsed - Endorsed Plan areas of the NJ State Plan (polygons); Cores - Cores of the NJ State Plan (polygons)

The End User is defined as any person or organization receiving these files directly from OPA. OPA grants to the End User a license to use the software, data and documentation provided the End User agrees to the following: I. LIMITED WARRANTY: Notwithstanding the special conditions regarding the subject data specified in part III of this licensing agreement, the Office for Planning Advocacy makes no representations of any kind, including but not limited to the warranties of merchantability of fitness for a particular use, nor are any such warranties to be implied, with respect to the digital software and data furnished. The Office for Planning Advocacy assumes no responsibility to maintain them in any manner or form. II. TERMS OF AGREEMENT: The data received from OPA is to be used solely by the End User and will not be reproduced or redistributed for use by anyone else, without first obtaining permission from OPA. III. SPECIAL CONDITIONS: The delineations are part of the New Jersey State Development and Redevelopment Plan produced and released by the New Jersey Office for Planning Advocacy. The boundaries reflect delineations as of the date the files are posted on our website. Any map amendments accepted in the interim are not reflected in these delineations. Due to the complex nature of the State Development and Redevelopment Plan and the state planning process and the relationship of all of the individual parts of the plan, questions regarding the plan should not be resolved by or even considered using maps alone. This would provide a limited view of the comprehensive approach embodied in the plan. For this reason, any questions relating to the plan or its delineations for the State should be directed to OPA. The information has been delivered in a standard format. OPA assumes no liability for inability of the End User to use the data/software for any financial damages caused by such an inability. OPA agrees, however, to assist in resolving any problems in using the software or data and to reproduce the data if necessary.

Attribute_Accuracy:

Attribute_Accuracy_Report:

Attribute values were reviewed by staff of the Office of State Planning.

Logical_Consistency_Report:

All polygons are labelled. There are no duplicate arcs and no dangling nodes. The ArcInfo commands "labelerrors," "nodeerrors," and "intersecterr" were used to verify topological integrity.

Completeness_Report:

Node boundaries are complete for the entire state as they existed at time of publication. Changes to the boundaries must be approved by the State Planning Commission. All approved changes are reflected in the dataset as of the date the file is posted on the web.

Positional_Accuracy:

Horizontal_Positional_Accuracy:

Horizontal_Positional_Accuracy_Report:

Scale of the original mapping was 1:24000. Feature locations should generally meet National Map Accuracy Standards for that scale, which means that boundaries are within 40 feet of their intended locations; however accuracy testing has not been done.
