Windham Center Rezoning

 The LRPC has drafted amendments to the Land Use Ordinance and Zoning Map to rezone the Windham Center Growth Area 

shown on the Future Land Use Map in the 2017 Comprehensive Plan Update. 

Windham Center Growth Area (Comp. Plan Pgs. 29-30)
The areas of town known as Windham Hill and Popeville are included in this area, which is generally located between River Road and Route 202 (Gray Road), north of Swett Road and south of the Rotary at Routes 302/202 and south of Otterbrook Drive off River Road. As noted above, this area serves as the civic core of the community and as such, more walkable, connected residential development should be encouraged in this area.

The proposed two (2) new zoning districts & affordable housing standards were presented to the public. March 3, 2021 Webinar Recording.

On April 21, 2021 the LRPC finalized revisions to the proposed Zoning Map and ordinance amendments in response to public input. The LRPC recommendations will be discussed with the Planning Board on July 26, 2021. View the  documents here.  The Planning Board will hold a public hearing on August 23, 2021.
