Item Description
OBJECTID Internal feature number.

SHAPE Feature geometry.

FLUCCS The land use and land cover classification code as defined in the Florida DOT's FLUCCS classification system. The following represents the original field from the source Water Management District layer. SFWMD = LANDUSE_CODE - The primary classification type assignment. This may be either a land use classification or a land cover classification in the case that keys to identification indicate a physiographic feature.

OTHER The following represents the original field from the source Water Management District Layer. SFWMD = LANDCOVER_CODE - A secondary classification assigned to account for the fact that any given polygon may have more than one use or a use and a physiographic cover.

LANDUSE_DE Florida land use land cover code description.

LANDCOV_DE Florida land use land cover code description.

LANDUSE_YR The year that the land use data represents.

PLANNING_R The planning region that the area is within.

AERIAL_DAT The date the aerial used to identify land use was taken.

SOURCE Water Management District of Coverage/Origin. SFWMD field.

SOURCE2 Other contributing source.

FLUCCS_L1 The highest level (level 1) designation in a hierarchical coding scheme containing 4 levels. The following represents the original field from the source Water Management District Layer.

LEVEL1 Level 1 land use description, based on the FDOT classification schema.

FLUCCS_L2 The second highest level (level 2) designation in a hierarchical coding scheme containing 4 levels. The following represents the original field from the source Water Management District Layer.

LEVEL2 Level 2 land use description, based on the FDOT classification schema.

FLUCCS_L3 The third highest level (level 3) designation in a hierarchical coding scheme containing 4 levels. The following represents the original field from the source Water Management District Layer.

LEVEL3 Level 3 land use description, based on the FDOT classification schema. There is a possibility that the FDOT Level 3 description does not match that of the Water Management District, for those occurrences this discrepancy has been identified in the FLUCCSCOMP field.

FLUCCSCOMP A value of 1 in this field indicates a difference when comparing the FLUCCS code description to the FDOT FLUCCS code description.

DATASOURCE The feature's original data source: LU_SFWMD_2008, LU_SFWMD_2013_LWC, or LU_SFWMD_2015_PARTIAL.

ACRES Number of Acres.

DESCRIPT Based on the field LANDUSE_DE.

FGDLAQDATE The date FGDL acquired the data from the Source.

AUTOID Unique ID added by GeoPlan

SHAPE.AREA Area in meters

SHAPE.LEN Perimeter in meters

data meets USGS NMAS for 1:12000 scale maps, providing a foundation for 2014 
updates. During feature updates, map scale was set between 1:7,000 to 12,000.

The Florida Geographic Data Library is a collection of Geospatial Data
compiled by the University of Florida GeoPlan Center with support from
the Florida Department of Transportation. GIS data available in FGDL is
collected from various state, federal, and other agencies (data sources)
who are data stewards, producers, or publishers. The data available in
FGDL may not be the most current version of the data offered by the
data source. University of Florida GeoPlan Center makes no guarantees
about the currentness of the data and suggests that data users check
with the data source to see if more recent versions of the data exist.

Furthermore, the GIS data available in the FGDL are provided 'as is'.

A note about data scale: 

Scale is an important factor in data usage.  Certain scale datasets
are not suitable for some project, analysis, or modeling purposes.
Please be sure you are using the best available data. 

1:24000 scale datasets are recommended for projects that are at the
county level.
1:24000 data should NOT be used for high accuracy base mapping such
as property parcel boundaries.
1:100000 scale datasets are recommended for projects that are at the
multi-county or regional level.
1:125000 scale datasets are recommended for projects that are at the
regional or state level or larger.

Vector datasets with no defined scale or accuracy should be
considered suspect. Make sure you are familiar with your data
before using it for projects or analysis. Every effort has been
made to supply the user with data documentation. For additional
information, see the References section and the Data Source Contact
section of this documentation. For more information regarding
scale and accuracy, see our webpage at:

DATA LINEAGE SUMMARY:
The GeoPlan Center process steps:

This dataset was derived by the GeoPlan Center from the following SFWMD datasets: 
LU_SFWMD_2008
LU_SFWMD_2013_LWC
LU_SFWMD_2015_PARTIAL

Removed slivers and repaired geometry.

DESCRIPT was calculated off of standardized 2015 FLUCCS codes Descriptions from SFWMD. 
Original Descriptions can be found in the LANDUSE_DE field.

Please Note: 
The original data source of each feature is marked in the field DATASOURCE.
