Zoningfirehose

Zoning Firehose (also styled P&Z Radar) — A continuously captured, structured extraction of every Dallas–Fort Worth Planning & Zoning agenda packet: 3,862 zoning cases across 99 municipalities with 152 live cases currently moving through agendas. Each case is parsed out of 200-page municipal PDFs into location, acreage, current and requested zoning, petitioner or owner, hearing date and staff recommendation, covering rezonings, specific-use permits, plats, variances and planned-development amendments. Two properties make this qualitatively different from permit feeds: capture happens hours af…

Zoningfirehose offers (Alternative, Geospatial, Sentiment) — 3,862 structured zoning cases across 99 DFW cities, plus 152 live cases in progress, plus every captured source packet retained as a linked PDF. A second metro (Raleigh) is live on its own subdomain, so the multi-metro archive is growing by full-market increments. Zoning cases are far lower volume than permits by nature — this is a case-level not transaction-level corpus — but each case carries a full document plus structured extraction plus a tracked outcome, so bytes and label value per record are both high. Annual DFW case flow plausibly in the low thousands, bounded by agenda frequency across 99 municipalities..

Long-document extraction training and evaluation — thousands of long, structurally heterogeneous government PDFs with their extracted structured fields, which is a harder and scarcer benchmark than short-document extraction and closer to real enterprise document-AI workloads. Approval-prediction models: staff recommendation versus final vote is a genuinely clean labeled set for predicting regulatory outcomes, and stacking petitioner history turns it into a hierarchical model over applicant, jurisdiction and case type. Pre-vote land-acquisition alpha for developers and land brokers, the product's own use case, and a leading indicator for land values ahead of public notice. Zoning-transition ontology learning across 99 municipalities whose codes differ. Litigation and Article 78-style challenge monitoring. Land-supply and housing-production indices at submarket granularity well ahead of permit data, since a rezoning packet precedes any permit by months or years. Agentic tool-use evaluation, since the dataset is already exposed as MCP tools that models call.
