Description: This is a polygon data set representing the officially registered neighborhood associations for Boise City as identified in Chapter 7: Community Quality of the City of Boise Comprehensive Plan. Neighborhood Associations are non-profit organizations primarily composed of land owners representing areas of Boise with a distinct 'style' or 'character' (unique: topography, architecture, history of development, goals) with rights to participate in and influence decisions effecting the development, growth, and maintenance of their defined areas; areas collectively identified as neighborhoods. Each neighborhood has a documented plan with the City of Boise and exists entirely within the current Boise area of impact. This data set was originally created by COMPASS, a regional planning agency for Ada and Canyon County. The data set is now maintained by the City of Boise GIS Department. This data set is updated as changes occur and represents a snapshot of the current neighborhood association areas.
