2nd City Zoning
2nd City Zoning is an interactive map that lets you:
- find out how your building is zoned
- learn where to locate your business
- explore zoning patterns throughout the city
To make Chicago’s zoning code digestible by humans, we took inspiration from one of our favorite games: Sim City 2000. It started with the color scheme and from there we got a little carried away. Graphics, sounds, music, oh my.
2nd City Zoning is entirely open source and built with open data.
Running locally
```bash git clone git@github.com:datamade/second-city-zoning.git cd site_template gem install jekyll jekyll serve -w
```
Then navigate to http://localhost:5000/
Run in a Docker container
If you have Docker installed, can avoid some of the hassle of installing Jekyll and/or Ruby by pulling from the offical Jekyll image, installing dependancies, and serving locally.
This is especially handy if you're on Windows machine:
bash
docker compose up
Dependencies
Updating Zoning data
The City of Chicago publishes its latest Zoning information on an ArcGIS server. Here's the steps to update this site, which we do annualy:
- Setup and install
pyesridump - Run `esri2geojson https://gisapps.cityofchicago.org/arcgis/rest/services/ExternalApps/Zoning/MapServer/1 chicago-zoning.geojson
- Use
ogr2ogrto simplify the geometries and reduce the size. This can be done via the command line or with QGIS. We use a tolerance of0.00003 - Use https://open-innovations.github.io/geojson-minify/ to remove properties we don't use. We only make use of
zone_type,zone_class, andordinance_num gzipthe GeoJSON file and place in the/datafolder.
