Long Range Planning Documents
Comprehensive Plan
The Town’s Comprehensive Plan is a plan for the short-term and long-term growth and development of Severance. It is designed to be used by Town officials, staff, and citizens as a set of policies to guide community development decisions, to assist with community facility budgeting, and as a tool to guide future development of residential, commercial, employment, cultural, and educational opportunities for the residents of Severance.
For a comprehensive plan to function as an effective advisory tool, it is necessary to have the capability to respond to changing conditions such as increased population and demand for public services, housing supply, legislative policies, technological development, economic circumstances, and other issues our citizens believe to be relevant. The purpose of the Severance Comprehensive Plan is to provide a road map for the future of the community and preserve our Town’s quality of life, rural atmosphere, and small-town feel.

Corridor Plan
The E. Harmony Road/WCR 74 and 1st Street/WCR 23 Corridor Plan builds upon recent efforts to beautify the Town of Severance. This document provides a strategy for achieving a cohesive design approach for the two corridors (although the designs differ among segments within each corridor according to its context and function). The two corridors are divided into segments that vary by design theme, right-of-way width, street width, speed limit, setbacks, and how bicycle traffic is accommodated. The objective is to slow traffic down as it approaches and goes through Old Town and the street environment becomes more pedestrian and bicycle friendly.
