The Town of Windsor, Colorado was founded as a small 19th Century agricultural and railroad town and has evolved into one of the most desirable communities in Colorado.

2

Its desirability is reflected in the steady population growth over the last 30 years, with significant growth occurring between 2015 and 2022. As of 2022, Windsor’s population was 42,840 people. The previous 2016 Comprehensive Plan projected the Town to have a total population of 25,693 by 2020, which assumed the continuation of the historic growth rate between 1-3%. Windsor grew much faster, at a growth rate more than triple that projected under the 2016 Plan, averaging a 7% annual growth rate.

Windsor’s rapid growth has transformed the Town into a largely suburban community, anchored by the historic downtown. Current population projections for 2041 range from 61,206, reflecting low growth, up to 89,389, reflecting high growth. The low-end projection, 61,206, is based on historic trends before the record high rate of building permits for the past five years.

The high-end projection is derived from the Colorado State Demographer’s Office.

PLANNING CONTEXT

EXISTING CONDITIONS Demographics: Windsor has a large population made since the adoption of that plan, although of families and older residents, and the residents are generally highly educated. The Town’s median household income has been about 56% higher than the regional average for the last decade, which also translates into higher-priced housing and higher home ownership rates.

Housing: Windsor is one of the newer housing markets in the region, with over 60% of homes built after 2000. The Town also has a larger share of single-family housing units than its neighbors but more multifamily units than the smaller towns in the region. The 2016 Comprehensive Plan stressed the need for more diverse housing. Progress has been

County

more work is still needed. As Windsor grows and demand for housing increases, market demand will drive prices higher. Homeownership may become less attainable, and more types of housing will be needed to fill in housing gaps. Development of more multifamily, attached single-family, and condos will help mitigate the impacts of high housing costs by offering transitional housing options between renting and homeownership.

Land Use: Land use in Windsor is primarily Economic Development: Over a third of the residential and industrial, with room for growth in both areas. Of the Town’s developed land, residential land uses make up 61.5%, industrial land uses make up 12%, and commercial land uses make up 7.8%. Of undeveloped land, residential land uses make up 54.8%, industrial land uses make up 15.4%, and commercial land uses make up 12.3%. As Windsor considers its future growth patterns and land use designations, this Plan supports a balance of housing, retail, employment, and recreation options.

UNDEVELOPED RESIDENTIAL LAND of undeveloped land in Windsor is residential.

Town’s jobs are in manufacturing, and according to the U.S. Census, a high percentage of people who work in Windsor live outside of Windsor.

Most residents commute outside of Windsor for work. Significantly, 18% of the population works from home, which might help local businesses and services during the workday.

PLANNING CONTEXT Transportation: Transportation in Windsor is

closely tied to its economic growth and land use decisions. Windsor residents commute further than surrounding communities for work, and most drive alone. White the Town has an extensive trail system, Windsor is still largely car-dependent.

There is a dedicated commuter bus line between Fort Collins and Greeley with stops in Windsor, as well as a connection to a Loveland bus route.

Water: Windsor has maintained a proactive

stance toward water planning by securing additional water sources for future growth through the Northern Integrated Supply Project (NISP), implementing water efficient practices, and incentivizing the community to monitor their own water use. Windsor is also a regional leader in the use and requirement of non-potable irrigation systems in new developments. As growth on the Front Range challenges water resources, Windsor has demonstrated its ability to plan ahead and adapt to new conditions through partnerships and community-driven programs aimed at increasing the use of low-water and native plants.

Infrastructure: Windsor has a robust infrastructure

system consisting of water, sewer, stormwater, and roads, all supported by either general, capital improvement, or enterprise funds. Spatially, the Town’s infrastructure is spread out, resulting in higher infrastructure service and maintenance costs. Land use decisions will play an important part in future infrastructure challenges or solutions as future development requires more connections to public services. Providing existing infrastructure can support development, concentrating development in appropriate areas could reduce overall construction and maintenance costs and increase efficiency and long-term sustainability of the system as a whole.

Additional context and trends can be found in Appendix D: Existing Conditions Report.

PLANNING CONTEXT

JURISDICTION & PLANNING AREA The Town of Windsor is located in the Northern Colorado Front Range Region and Town boundaries extend across both Larimer and Weld counties. Surrounding communities include Timnath and Severance to the north, Fort Collins to the northwest, Loveland and Johnstown to the southwest, and Greeley to the southeast. Located on the I-25 corridor, Windsor sits approximately 56 miles north of Denver.

GROWTH MANAGEMENT AREA This Comprehensive Plan applies to areas within the municipal boundaries of Windsor as well as the unincorporated areas that fall within the Town’s Growth Management Area (GMA). The land within the GMA is anticipated to be served with municipal services and infrastructure to support future development. Development in close proximity to the Town core and existing infrastructure is a priority, but areas in the GMA will likely experience development pressure and are anticipated to be annexed into the Town in the future.

BOULDER COUNTY

The Colorado Revised Statutes § 3112-105 require every municipality to have a plan in place for areas within a 3-mile distance of its municipal boundary prior to any annexation.

The 3-mile planning area does not include land incorporated by other municipalities or claimed through a formal intergovernmental agreement. As much of the Town’s GMA is abutting the GMA and/ or corporate limits of neighboring communities, Windsor does not intend to extend the GMA boundaries beyond the boundary that exists today.

The Town of Windsor has entered into several land use specific Intergovernmental Agreements (IGAs) with neighboring municipalities to jointly plan for future development. These include components such as a determination of future land uses, design standards, and in certain instances, revenue sharing. In some cases, the IGAs resulted in Cooperative Planning Areas where both jurisdictions agree to design and performance standards for development.

PLANNING CONTEXT

LAND USE & ZONING CONTEXT Anchored by a historic downtown, the Town includes a mix of new and old residential districts, emerging commercial centers, and an evolving industrial sector. Windsor includes a diverse range of land uses that accommodate residential, commercial, and industrial users.

The Town’s residential neighborhoods are comprised of historic homes near downtown as well as newer subdivisions, many of which surround golf courses and large open spaces and have been built in the last 20 years. The Town’s commercial and retail areas are anchored on Main Street (SH 392) and downtown Windsor, while I-25 and emerging east-west corridors like Harmony Road, Crossroads Boulevard, and Highway 34 play an increasingly important role in the area’s growth. Additionally, the Great Western Industrial Park includes large-scale sites and heavy manufacturing uses, which defines the eastern parts of Windsor and carries implications for land use and economic planning across the community.

CURRENT LAND USE CHARACTER As part of the comprehensive planning process, a character analysis identified ten different character types in Windsor. The classifications are based on spatial attributes, street pattern, zoning, and land use. Spatial attributes include building height and sizes of lots, as well as the relationship between the buildings and street. The street pattern greatly influences connectivity and major modes of transportation.

These neighborhoods typically have more public spaces.

Downtown Core: The downtown core of Windsor

character type refers to lands that are currently vacant or used for agricultural purposes. Current zoning allows for development and some level of future growth or change in use can be expected in these areas.

is near Windsor Lake. The Great Western Railroad runs through downtown diagonally, creating a triangular space with 7th Street and Main Street.

The downtown core has the highest concentration of restaurants, shops, and various services in town.

Traditional

Neighborhood:

Traditional neighborhoods surround downtown and were mostly developed before 1970. These neighborhoods have smaller blocks and wellconnected street networks. The land use is mostly single-family housing with amenities like schools, and religious institutions that are integrated within residential areas. This neighborhood also has access to services and jobs in the downtown core only a short walk away.

Cluster Development: This character area encompasses neighborhoods that arrange homes and developments in clusters to conserve open space, parks, or sensitive environmental areas.

INTRODUCTION

Suburban: The suburban character type is the most common development pattern in the Town of Windsor. This type of development mostly consists of detached single-family homes, often as part of a planned subdivision, and garages often face the street.

Agriculture and Emerging Growth: This

Institutional: The institutional character type

covers civic and educational spaces such as the High School, police buildings, fire stations, Town Hall, and Community Recreation Center.

Commercial Corridor: Commercial corridor

areas refer to retail and office developments that prioritize vehicular access and are usually located around major roads and corridors. The Town’s land use code and commercial corridor plans strive to de-emphasize parking and encourage buildings to front the street. The areas along Highway 392 outside of downtown currently have the highest concentration of commercial corridor developments.

PLANNING CONTEXT Heavy Industrial: Most of the heavy Industrial

areas are in the eastern side of the Town. The buildings and structures in this character area support higher intensity of land use, often with greater volume of truck traffic, noise and other factors that are not compatible with residential development. These areas also generally have convenient access to major roadways and railroads.

Light Industrial: Light industrial uses produce

is less than heavy industry. Light industrial businesses tend to cluster together to form bigger light industrial zones and are usually separated from residential areas.

edge and open space are lands reserved for parks, outdoor recreational, and ecological services.

ZONING CODE ALIGNMENT As the long-term guide to future development in the Town, the Comprehensive Plan provides the policy direction that should guide any future zoning requirements or development standards.

Generally, the adoption of the Comprehensive Plan should be followed by an initiative to update the Town’s development codes, which includes zoning regulations, subdivision regulations, and others. Changes to the Town’s zoning regulations may include the refinement of existing regulations to address height, bulk, and intensity standards, as well as permitted uses.

The zoning regulations are located within the Town of Windsor Municipal Code, Chapter 16, and an example of the Zoning Map is included on the next page. The Zoning Code includes requirements for 16 zoning districts, including:

The previous 2016 Comprehensive Plan document and Municipal Code were generally in alignment, at the time of adoption of this updated Plan.

While there should be an understanding of what zoning districts could apply to each Future Land Use category, the Future Land Use Map in this Comprehensive Plan is not granular as is the regulatory zoning map. Instead, the Future Land Use Map provides a general guide of character and land use types that encompass neighborhoods or corridor areas.

More information about Future Land Use designations and categories is in Chapter 4: Future Land Use Plan.
