POLICY STATEMENTS
FOR CORRIDOR STUDY AREAS
8/10/93
Each of the individual corridor plans will be developed following careful consideration of
the characteristics of the particular area and the stated desires of its residents. The plans
will address transportation efficiency in terms of both the need for improvements to existing
roads, new connections between existing roads, as well as the location and spacing of
entrances onto collector roads and the required traffic controls. Consideration should also
be given to appearance of the corridors in terms of landscaping, setbacks, buffering, signage,
and architecture.
INTENT
The intent of each of these corridor plans is to utilize a combination of planning techniques
to formulate a "blueprint" for each of the three areas being evaluated. It is hoped that, if
followed, these plans will result in the development of efficient, well planned areas. The
road networks which are planned should be capable of handling traffic generated internally,
as well as through trips, for the foreseeable future. Through a combination of landscaping,
setbacks, design standards, and sign controls the corridors themselves should also have a
pleasing appearance.
The following goals and strategies can apply to all three of the corridors.
GOAL - Develop standards that will result in a cohesive appearance along planned corridors
minimizing congestion and visual clutter.
GOAL - Develop necessary road plans to accommodate anticipated traffic demand. These
plans should include both new roads and improvements to existing roads.
GOAL - Formulate a general land use plan that will aid in the implementation and success
of the overall area plan.
GOAL - Ensure that measures are put in place that will provide the necessary protection
for historic and environmentally sensitive areas.
GOAL - Insure that business and industrial uses that locate within the study area are
appropriate in terms of scale and compatibility with surroundings.
STRATEGIES FOR IMPLEMENTING STATED GOALS
TRANSPORTATION
Strategy 1 - Work to implement the recommendations of the Winchester Area
Transportation Plan and insure that adequate road networks are provided with needed road
interconnections.
Strategy 2 - Strive to locate and obtain the needed Right-of-way for Route 37.
Strategy 3 - Formulate design standards for shared business entrances that will minimize
interruptions to the dominant flow of traffic.
Strategy 4 - Require development along road frontages to make accommodations for
pedestrian and bicycle traffic. Plan for interconnected bicycle and pedestrian networks.
Strategy 5 - Plan for major entrances and intersections that are appropriately located and
signalized.
Strategy 6 - Strive for traffic safety through traffic controls, sight distance, posted speeds and
entrance design and location.
APPEARANCE
Strategy 1 - Develop improved landscaping requirements for business uses along street
frontages.
Strategy 2 - Revise setback, buffering, signage and parking requirements to minimize the
negative visual impact of development along corridors.
LAND USE
Strategy 1 - Review buffering requirements to insure that adequate screening is provided
between conflicting uses.
Strategy 2 - Require the location of proposed uses to conform to the overall general land
use plan for the corridor.
Strategy 3 - Develop standards that will insure that site design takes into account
appearance in addition to customary safety, transportation and drainage concerns.
