It's probably slightly useful. But zoning is prescriptive, and for the future. Often there can be non-residential uses in areas zoned residential, and they're called "pre-existing nonconforming use". And, some areas zoned industrial can just be trees. Near me, one such area is being converted to housing -- there is a law allowing builders to ignore local zoning if a high enough fraction fo the new units are affordable. So I would only want to use it as an overlay to help guide the process of where to draw landuse polygons, but with local knowledge and thought. > Minneapolis, MN, US data (not where I started from in this thread) > appears to be available under CC BY SA.
