PLANNING CENTERS<\/span><\/p>

All Connections 2050 Long-Range Plan elements are available online at www.dvrpc.org/plan. The Plan has two primary documents:<\/span><\/p>

(1) The Connections 2050 Policy Manual (www.dvrpc.org/Products/21027) identifies the vision, goals, strategies, and a summary of the financial plan.<\/span><\/p>

(2) The Connections 2050 Process and Analysis Manual (www.dvrpc.org/Products/21028) provides a more detailed look at the Plan\u2019s outreach, background information, analysis, and financial plan.<\/span><\/p>

The Connections 2050 Long-Range Plan identi<\/span>fi<\/span><\/span>es four types of Centers: Suburban Centers, Town Centers, Rural Centers, and Planned Centers. The characteristics of each type are as follows:<\/span><\/p>

SUBURBAN CENTERS<\/span><\/p>

Are regionally signi<\/span><\/span>fi<\/span><\/span>cant; While not necessarily single municipalities, are perceived as single \u201cplaces;\u201d Are suburban in character; Are less dense than town centers; Lack the integrated mix of uses found in town centers;<\/span><\/span><\/p>

Are de<\/span><\/span>fi<\/span><\/span>ned primarily by a concentration and variety of of<\/span><\/span>fi<\/span><\/span>ce, retail, professional, and light industrial uses, and generally have more jobs than residents; and are generally auto dependent rather than transit oriented or pedestrian scale.<\/span><\/span><\/p>

TOWN CENTERS<\/span><\/p>

Have a mixture of high-density residential and commercial land use; Have an integrated mix of land uses;Have a unique history, character, and sense of place; Are of relatively higher density than their surrounding land uses;<\/span><\/span><\/p>

Have a distinct downtown/main street area surrounded by relatively dense residential development;<\/span><\/span><\/p>

Are pedestrian friendly and often transit oriented; and Are surrounded by suburban land uses.<\/span><\/span><\/p>

RURAL CENTERS <\/span><\/span><\/p>

Have a minimum density of six people and three employees per developed acre; Have an integrated mix of land uses; Have a unique history, character, and sense of place; Are of relatively higher density than the surrounding area;<\/span><\/p>

Have a distinct downtown/main street (though smaller than a town center); and Are surrounded by rural and agricultural land uses. <\/span><\/span><\/p>

PLANNED CENTERS<\/span><\/span><\/p>

Are planned town-center-type developments on green<\/span>fi<\/span><\/span>elds in Growing Suburbs or Rural Areas or through redevelopment on grey<\/span><\/span>fi<\/span><\/span>elds and/or brown<\/span><\/span>fi<\/span><\/span>elds in Developed Communities; and Have plans that call for village-type development, incorporating mixed, integrated land uses, relatively high densities, and pedestrian connections. <\/span><\/span><\/p>
