[Imports] Springdale, Arkansas Building Footprints

[Michael Morisette]

Hi Jason

The data sources are available for public consumption here:

Building Footprints (categorized under Planimetrics) - Polygon Shapefile:
http://www.springdalear.gov/824/Data-Downloads

(Situs) Addresses - Point Shapefile:
http://geostor-vectors.geostor.org.s3.amazonaws.com/index.html?prefix=Location/SHP/

There is a field in the Arkansas state address data called "FEA_TYP," 
which describes the use of the address point, and is described in detail 
here:
http://gis.arkansas.gov/wp-content/uploads/2016/01/2016_Address_Point_Guidance.pdf

The gist of it is that I spatial joined the address points to the 
building footprints in QGIS, and the following logic applies:

 > if there is exactly one address point per building, and FEA_TYPE == 
"Residential"
     > then, building=detached
 > if there are multiple address points per building, and all of them 
are FEA_TYPE == "Residential"
     > then, building=residential
 > if there are 1+ address points per building, and all of them are 
FEA_TYPE == "Commercial"
     > then, building=commercial
 > if there are 1+ address points per building, and all of them are 
FEA_TYPE == "Educational"
     > then, building=school
 > if there are 1+ address points per building, and all of them are 
FEA_TYPE == "Governmental"
     > then, building=government
 > if there are 1+ address points per building, and all of them are 
FEA_TYPE == "Industrial"
     > then, building=industrial
 > if there are 1+ address points per building, and all of them are 
FEA_TYPE == "Religious"
     > then, building=religious
 > else (default value)
     > building=yes

Thanks
