    How Our Plan Relates Chapter – May 19, 2014 Page 1

    XIV. RELATIONSHIP OF REGIONAL PLAN TO NEIGHBORING AND AGENCY PLANS A. Regional Plans of Adjoining Vermont Commissions Outlined below are five Vermont Regional Commissions which adjoin the Two Rivers- Ottauquechee Regional Commission (TRORC) region and reported are the respective dates of adoption or amendment of their Regional Plans. Each of the Vermont regional commission plans discussed below will expire eight years from date of adoption, unless readopted or amended. Each plan has been revised or amended purposely to be consistent with the planning goals. It is the intent of this Regional Commission to consult and coordinate with neighboring regional commissions as their planning processes mature. (1) Southern Windsor County Regional Planning Commission: 6/2009 Adopted June 16, 2009; Land Use The Southern Windsor County Regional Planning Commission (SWCRPC) forms the southern and south-west border of our region. The SWCRPC-region towns of Reading, Windsor, West Windsor, Cavendish and Ludlow about the TRORC-region towns of Plymouth, Woodstock and Hartland. TRORC has classified the future land use of the towns within its region as rural or conservation/resource areas. Similarly, SWCRPC has classified the border towns within its region as being mostly rural and conservation areas, with minimal development or designated village or town centers. According to the SWCRPC’s Future Land Use map, the Towns of Ludlow and Windsor both have designated regional centers, areas which support the highest densities of development in the SWCRPC region. To help maintain the historic settlement patterns in Vermont, the SWCRPC’s Regional Plan specifies that “regional centers should be immediately surrounded by medium- density neighborhoods, and then by a low-density, rural working landscape.”i North of the regional center in the Town of Ludlow is a designated village center, located along Vermont Route 100, just north of Vermont Route 103.
