Spatial Transformation Areas

Spatial Transformation Areas: 20230126 (Council-approved Municipal Spatial Development Framework (MSDF)Jan 2023) The process of reversing the negative impacts of apartheid spatial planning (spatial fragmentation,inefficient urban form, racial segregation and ghettos of poverty etc.). Integrating communities andincreasing opportunities to a greater number of people in highly connected areas are among the keyoutcomes of spatial transformation. Renouncing the creation of new low-income communities on theperiphery of the city is also a key principle to avoid the need for these groups to spend a disproportionateamount of household income on transport and remain distant and dislocated from the socio-economicbenefits and amenities associated with central urban locations. * Urban Inner Core (UIC) - Diverse and dense land uses encouraged in association with current and future public transport infrastructure provision and priority given to spatially targeted interventions. * Incremental Growth & Consolidation Areas (IGCA) - Diverse and dense land uses encouraged, where bulk engineering infrastructure allows, with incremental intensification (density and diversity) and retention of open space corridors and pockets of agricultural land. * Discouraged Growth Areas (DGA) - Discourage land use activities that can be accommodated within the existing urban footprint or the future urban extent (UIC & IGCA) to protect critical agricultural and natural assets; promotion of suitable land uses * Critical Natural Assets(CNA)- : Encouraged to retain in a natural state,with a management plan focused on maintaining or improving the state of biodiversity.Any land development permitted within a Protected Area, must be in accordance with an approved management plan, in terms of the National Environment Management: Protected Areas Act (NEM: PAA).

Street Name

The Development Management department (DM) maintains the City’s Street Name Dataset. This dataset is integral to the maintenance of Situational Addresses as each Address Number is linked to a specific road. All Street Names are maintained according to the City’s Street Naming and Numbering Policy. Each new development must be provided with Street Names (indicated on the submitted Sub divisional or Consolidation Plans). These new Street Names are then checked by DM to ensure compliance with the policy prior to the approval of new developments. Street Names are captured in a Line Feature Class (indicating where each road will run) and is On ramped to SAP LUM (Land Use Management) as part of the Situational Addresses.

Open Watercourses

(Storm water Open Watercourses (OWC): rivers identification information) The status of the official Open Watercourse layer is representative of natural and built river systems, which integrates surface storm water runoff into underground urban drainage reticulation, from upstream mountain intakes to coastal outfalls. Rain-water is routed along natural flow paths, via environmental wetland eco-systems and artificial storm detention/retention depressions, through existing streams and tributaries of the bulk open natural and built-infrastructure river systems. The Open Watercourses are intercepted by Inlet-Outlet infrastructure, which deposits storm water urban runoff into underground storm water drainage reticulation networks, then converges with the road drainage runoff taken into catch pits from road surface channels into the underground reticulation, by means of the above open/closed systems, towards coastal outfalls. (OWC: spatial vector / non-spatial (attribute or tabular) / spatial extents)Open Watercourse river reaches are comprised of feature types such as Natural Rivers, Streams, Channels, Canals, Overland Flow Paths/Gap Connectors and Stream Extensions. The spatial coverage of Open Watercourses of the greater Cape Town Drainage Catchment area includes all rivers within the catchments, which drain into but also extend outside the Cape Town metro area.

Area Based Service Delivery Areas

The division of the City into four planning and service delivery areas is part of the Organisational Development and Transformation Plan(ODTP). The ODTP aims to improve the way in which the City works and delivers services.Council’s current structure is the result of the creation of the Unicity in 2000, when seven former municipalities amalgamated intoone to standardise services, staff benefits and working conditions. That helped improve service delivery across the metro. This meanshaving strong central service departments combined with area-based project and performance management to ensure that servicelevels are being met in ways best suited to an area and a community’ s specific needs.

2D Building Footprints Low Detail

The 2D building footprint dataset is a 2D representation of building roof extents and should not be confused with the building industry floor footprint. This layer should be used to complement the higher accuracy and detail “2D Building Footprint” dataset (SL_CGIS_2D_BLD_FTPR), which is directly derived from the photogrammetrically acquired 3D Building Models. This dataset is derived from the City of Cape Town’s 2023 high-resolution aerial imagery and nDSM derived from the 2023 LiDAR dataset. The aerial imagery is orthorectified and has three spectral bands: visible red, visible green, and visible blue, with a spatial resolution of 8 cm. The LiDAR point cloud has a density of 10 points per square meter and a vertical accuracy of 0.1m (95%). The dataset is automatically generated using trained Mask R-CNN with Precision, Recall, and F1-score of 0.85, 0.70, and 0.77, respectively; and Unet deep learning models with Precision, Recall, and F1-score of 0.97, 0.89, and 0.93, respectively. The Mask R-CNN model is trained with nDSM, and the Unet model is trained with aerial imagery. These trained models are used to extract building footprints for the entire city. The extracted building footprints showed irregularities, which were then post-processed using ArcGIS's geoprocessing model created with Esri's ModelBuilder. This geoprocessing model is run on the raw extracted footprints to produce a regularized building dataset. Each 2D building footprint has a mean building height calculated from the 2023 LiDAR nDSM. This dataset will be updated periodically to align with the latest acquired LiDAR and/or aerial imagery dataset. The Low-detail footprint layer aims to supply the City with a building footprint layer that has metro-wide coverage.
