OPEN DATA PORTALThe City Planning Commission keeps official records of the City's zoning and landmarks maps using geospatial data, commonly called shapefiles, which can be used in GIS software such as QGIS or ArcGIS for analysis and mapping. At this page, you can download commonly requested shapefiles for the City of Cleveland and related to City Planning's work, such as administrative boundaries, zoning districts, design review districts, and more. These files are updated approximately every month, or as changes occur. Information accessed through this page may be preliminary. For viewing these layers interactively via your web browser, please use the City Planning's GIS Viewer. For your convenience, we also provide preset configurations of the layers found below on our GIS Maps Page. 
CPC Design Review DistrictsDescription: City of Cleveland's current design review districts. These are named geographies within the city where development is reviewed specifically to enhance character of neighborhoods through art and design. (§ 341.01) 
Local Landmark DistrictsDescription: City of Cleveland's local historical districts as managed by the Landmarks Commission (§ 161.01) and staff. These geographies are areas where development is reviewed to preserve special historical, community or aesthetic values. 
Zoning DistrictsDescription: City of Cleveland's codified Zoning Code districts for use, height, and area. These are managed by City Planning staff with the community and stakeholders, and legislatively approved to go into effect. For metadata and code definitions, please use our online GIS viewer and use the info panels on the top right (U, A, O).
