RE: PLUS 2013-04-01; Town of Townsend Comprehensive Plan Amendment
Dear Mr. Green:
Thank you for meeting with State agency planners on April 24, 2013 to discuss the proposed
Town of Townsend draft comprehensive plan amendment to change Maps 7a and 7b, Future
Land Use Map, to change the proposed zoning of several parcels to achieve consistency between
land use and zoning.
Please note that changes to the plan, other than those suggested in this letter, could result in
additional comments from the State. Additionally, these comments reflect only issues that are
the responsibility of the agencies represented at the meeting.
Certification Comments: These comments must be addressed in order for our office to consider
the plan amendment consistent with the terms of your certification and the requirements of Title
22, § 702 of the Del. Code.
No certification comments are noted as a result of this proposed amendment.
Recommendations: Our office strongly recommends that the Town consider these
recommendations from the various State agencies as you review your plan for final approval.
This office has received the following comments from State agencies:
Office of State Planning Coordination – Contact: Herb Inden 739-3090
The Office of State Planning Coordination has no objection to these amendments.

•
The parcel owned by the Artesian Water Company at 565 Railroad Avenue (Map
reference E, Tax Parcel 25-001.00-016) is presently occupied by what appears to be a
well. The proposed plan change would change its designation from Industrial to
Commercial. While DelDOT agrees with the justification statement, that “Commercial
uses are more compatible with surrounding residential than industrial uses,” they suggest
that there may be a better way to address parcels occupied by utilities. Specifically,
DelDOT suggests that Town consider allowing utilities as a conditional use in residential
districts or, for that matter, in all districts. Wells and small wastewater facilities can be
placed in buildings that will blend into residential neighborhoods architecturally. Zoning
these lands for residential use prevents the owners of neighboring parcels from arguing
that there is an existing commercial zone that might reasonably be expanded
Once a decision has been reached on this proposed comprehensive plan amendment, please
forward a copy of the plan amendment to the Office of State Planning Coordination for our
records. The plan amendment must include a revised version of the Future Land Use Map
as well as any text that is necessary to amend the comprehensive plan and describe the
change.
Thank you for the opportunity to review this project. If you have any questions, please contact
me at 302-739-3090.
Sincerely,

The purpose of this Plan Amendment is to change the land use designations depicted on Maps

PLAN AMENDMENT PROCESS
While preparing a zoning map to follow up on the adoption of the 2010 plan, the Zoning
Committee found that the zoning districts determined best for several parcels were not
consistent with the future land use designations on Maps 7a and 7b the plan (as amended in
2011 and 2012). Accordingly, the Committee recommended that the Town Council pursue this
Plan Amendment to change those land uses to designations to make them consistent with the
recommended zoning districts.
ADOPTED 09/04/2013, Ordinance 13-02

2013 Amendment to the 2010 Townsend Comprehensive Plan
Zoning Committee Recommendation
In accordance with Section 66-129 (UDC 2002, § 904) of Townsend’s Zoning and Unified
Development Code, the Zoning Committee met to determine which land use designations
would be consistent with the desired zoning districts. The Committee then recommended
seven land uses changes to the Town Council.
State Review
Title 29, Section 9203 of the Delaware Code requires that the state review and comment on
county and municipal comprehensive plans, including amendments to plans. Known as the
Preliminary Land Use Service (PLUS), the process involves review and comment from state
departments and agencies. The Office of State Planning Coordination (OSPC) organizes the
comment process and works with each jurisdiction makes recommendations on proposed
documents.
On April 24, 2013, OSPC and the state agencies involved in the PLUS process reviewed this Plan
Amendment. In a letter dated May 22, 2013, the OSPC registered no objection to it.
