This COVADIS data standard concerns local urban planning documents (PLUs) and land use plans (POS that are equivalent to PLU). This data standard provides a technical framework describing in detail how to dematerialise these urban planning documents into a geographical database that is exploitable by a GIS and interoperable tool.
This COVADIS data standard was developed on the basis of the specifications for the dematerialisation of urban planning documents updated in 2012 by the CNIG, itself based on the consolidated version of the urban planning code dated 16 March 2012.
The dematerialisation of the graphic documents of a PLU, POS generates a spatial data set composed of several catalogs of objects:
The ZONE_URBA class containing the urban areas corresponding to the PLU zoning plan (R.123-5 to 8): urban areas (U), urban areas (AU), agricultural areas (A) and natural and forest areas (N). A settlement is attached to each zone. The regulation may lay down different rules, depending on whether the purpose of the constructions will concern housing, hotel accommodation, offices, commerce, crafts, industry, farming or forestry or the function of warehouse.
The PRESCRIPTION class containing all surface, linear and point requirements for PLU or POS (R123-11). They are superimposed on an area of the urban planning document and generally exert an additional constraint on the settlement of the area. A regulation is attached to each prescription.
