The Planning Department and the Town Planning and Zoning Commission is in the process of updating the Plan of Conservation and Development (POCD).

The POCD outlines visions, goals, and strategies to guide conservation and development in Windsor over the next ten years and beyond. Topics include residential development, historic resources, economic development, transportation, natural resources, open space, agricultural resources, community facilities, enhancing the villages, utilities, and the Day Hill Corporate Area.

Several draft chapters are available for your review on the Planning Department website.

We want your input! How can we continue to make Windsor a desirable community to live, work, and play?

Please answer yes or no. Should Windsor relax its Zoning Regulations to make it easier to update older houses to meet current housing preferences? For example, building coverage standards and setbacks could be relaxed to more easily allow first floor master suites and additional bathrooms.

How should Windsor meet the needs of its changing demographics and attract younger residents (e.g. provide housing opportunities for all age groups or provide regulations and incentives to upgrade existing housing to attract younger residents or allow older residents to stay in their homes).

Please answer yes or no. Should the town regulate the design and appearance of development in Windsor’s villages to protect historic and architectural character?

From 2000 to 2010 there was a 26% increase in the number of jobs in Windsor while in contrast, jobs in the state overall decreased by 4% over the same decade. Why do you think businesses have located in Windsor? What can the town do to maintain its attractiveness to business?

Would it be appropriate to allow more intense industrial development in the industrial zone if the property owner agreed to purchase open space in an agricultural or residential zone in exchange?
