The AddressPoint feature class was created due to the need for the City of Redmond to have a single and accurate address database containing addresses and their geographical location down to the building level of detail. This master address database was created by combining all addresses from the City of Redmond’s multiple business systems (Permits Plus (Real Property), FDM, and Business License). These systems were compiled into a single master address list showing all currently known Redmond and UPD addresses. The list contained accurate addresses as well as duplicates, errors, and many were missing or not current. A GIS point feature class was generated for each individual address from the master list and associated with its appropriate Parcel linked from the PIN. Parcels having multiple addresses received multiple point features; one for each address. After the initial feature class was created, field workers from the Police and Fire departments performed extensive field checks to verify every address except for single family residential. They walked on foot to each unit of each condo, apartment, etc. to verify the correct address. They hand wrote down each addresses then brought those field notes into the office for GIS Services technicians to enter the field notes into the database. |
