The place type approach is intended to create distinct and “complete” residential neighborhoods, employment centers, open spaces, and other areas. By providing greater flexibility in development types and uses while providing additional guidance on design expectations, place types can also facilitate more dynamic, livable neighborhoods and allow for established areas to evolve and improve. It provides a way to shape the future of Loudoun by concentrating on context – the look and feel of places, their form and their character – instead of focusing only on conventional land use categories and specific uses.,

The planimetric data was compiled by The Sanborn Map Company, Inc for the Metropolitan District and is based on an aerial flight performed in April 2015. In addition, the City's GIS staff has been updating limited planimetric features based on information on file in various City departments. The planimetric data has also been updated in 2016 and yearly to current based on spring aerial flights by EagleView.
