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>
