Town of Windsor General Plan Update

Town of Windsor General Plan Update

Note: Review Per Lead The town adopted its first general plan in 1996 to provide a roadmap for future land use development in the newly incorporated community, and the town has changed accordingly over the last 20 years. Building on the current general plan, the 2040 general plan updates the current needs, values, and preferences of the community. It identifies and prioritizes opportunities to preserve the small town character of the community; conserve public spaces and resources; maintain economic vitality and balance; and direct land use policies addressing land use compatibility and development intensities and implementing programs focusing on the development of design guidelines and new zoning provisions. The 2040 general plan emphasizes infill development within the town limits, allows for limited growth at the town's edge, and supports land uses that are rural and agricultural beyond the town's voter-approved urban growth boundary. New development would occur primarily where existing roads, water, and sewer are in place and in a manner that minimizes the impact of development on existing infrastructure and services. The 2040 general plan provides the policy framework to guide future development toward land uses that support walking, biking, and transit ridership.
