Rockingham County Considers Adopting Stone Spring Urban Development Area Plan Into Comprehensive Plan
By Scott Rogers • November 18, 2019
The Rockingham County Planning Commission will meet tomorrow (Nov 19, 2019) at 6:00 PM in the Rockingham County Administration Center to discuss incorporating the Stone Spring Urban Development Area Plan (pdf) into the Comprehensive Plan. From the plan... The Stone Spring Urban Development Area Plan (Stone Spring UDA) creates a 20-year vision for the development of new walkable neighborhoods and infrastructure investments within four focus areas for growth. This map (from the plan) shows the four focus areas: Stone Port, Stone Ridge, Boyers Crossing and Crossroads... Further... The Stone Spring UDA provides a blueprint for neighborhood development based on traditional town patterns, known as Traditional Neighborhood Development (TND). TND is based on the principle that neighborhoods should be walkable, achieved by compact, mixed-use development, with pedestrian-oriented development blocks that are sized for easy walking distance and characterized by an interconnected network of streets that are articulated with trees, on-street parking, and a variety of routes for vehicle traffic while facilitating walking, cycling and transit. The Stone Spring UDA Plan focuses on the physical form and massing of buildings—on scale, block size, and the relationship between building edges and the public realm. Here's an example of a potential neighborhood layout in the Boyers Crossing focus area... And a conceptual layout for Stone Ridge...
