[Imports] Florida Landuse Import

[Kendall Mullenhour]

Afternoon all again,

After some consultation with Florida mappers on Slack, I think there is a
consensus, both on here and on Slack, that urban areas should be excluded
from this import, and I totally agree with them as well on that as urban
areas are often mapped pretty well already or are easier to map by hand
than just mass importing data overlaying it. We're still trying to figure
out how big a city needs to be for it to be eligible for the "exclude from
landuse import" condition and what areas need excluding. For example in
rural Taylor County there is only one incorporated town called Perry,
around 7k residents in the last census update. There is also unincorporated
Steinhatchee, around 1k residents and is a census designated place. Should
these small cities (up to 5k population) be excluded from the landuse
import and should the exclusion zone be city limits (if incorporated) or
the general built up area of the settlement? I'll update the wiki page to
remove the "urban" test sections from the import public comment period
phasing, in addition to digging through archives of this mailing list from
earlier this month to see what landuse tags need changing.

Now about unionizing same landuse tags together I'm all for that, not sure
if the fdep:landuse_code tag needs to be in there or not as it was in the
previous import attempt. I'll leave that for the community to decide in
this thread whether the landuse code tag is relevant or not for OSM
purposes. I am currently testing splitting the massive shapefile up per
county (not sure if Hiausrig mentioned it when he got the data but I
corrected like 3k ring self intersection errors for the entire dataset in
QGIS prior to clipping out a section for Taylor County). Once the tagging
is done I'll probably post it somewhere like a google drive file so others
can look at it and chime in on any tags that need changing based off of
aerial imagery and other things. My proposed 2 week minimum public comment
period on the data itself (for that one county as a test run) will start
once the Google Drive link to processed data is posted on the wiki page,
though I'll be taking in comments on the tagging proposal and other things
starting now. The first test section (up to 4 square miles in size) will
probably not be uploaded for a minimum of 2 weeks (this time around we will
not be in a rush, gotta give the community time to have their say on the
project) while bugs and errors are ironed out and corrected as per
community comment and JOSM validator system.

Thanks,
