How do urban planners and municipal governments use flat file cabinets?

Urban planning departments in city and county governments are major users of flat file storage. They maintain large-format zoning maps, land use plans, subdivision plats, development permit drawings, aerial photography enlargements, and general plan exhibits. Some of these documents are official public records that must be retained for decades. Municipal governments often have large flat file installations in their planning departments — sometimes multiple stacked 5-drawer sections organized by geographic area or development type. For public records, locking flat file cabinets protect documents from unauthorized access while remaining available through public records request processes.
