SUMMARY
Over the past several years, the Town of Washington Planning Board has conducted a comprehensive review of the 1987 Town Master Plan. Specifically, the Planning Board has considered the various applications for subdivision and site plan approvals that have been received in light of the goals and polices of the 1987 Town Master Plan, and asked whether the 1987 Plan provides sufficient guidance to allow the Town to tailor its local zoning and land use regulations to ensure the long-term preservation and protection of the Town’s unique “small town” and rural character. The consensus among the Board members is that while the 1987 Plan has served as a useful guide for the past two decades and remains relevant updates are needed. As a result, the Planning Board has recommended updating the 1987 Master Plan. The current Update Process is intended to build on the accomplishments of the 1987 Plan and focus on controlling development, protecting the environment, and sustaining resources.
