<abstract>The Urban Services Boundary was developed for the Rhode Island Statewide Planning Program as part of a GIS overlay analysis of land suitability and availability for Figure 121-02-(01), Rhode Island Future Land Use Map - 2025 of the Land use 2025: State Land Use Policies and Plan. This is the State of Rhode Island's plan for conservation and development in the 21st century. The boundary represents the general extent of the areas within which public services supporting urban development presently exist, or are likely to be provided, through 2025. Within the boundary most land should be served by public water service and many areas will have public sewer service available as well. Public transit service should be generally available. Several watersheds and other sensitive resource areas were excluded from the boundary, indicating that protection of the resources involved must be a principle concern limiting future development intensity potential. Also included within the boundary, are other undeveloped areas which will have lower development intensities due to the presence of resources constraints and or limited infrastructure.</abstract>
<purpose>The Land use 2025: State Land Use Policies and Plan, was published by the Rhode Island Statewide Planning Program on April 13, 2006. The intent of the Urban Services Boundary is to provide an indication for planning purposes of areas where a higher level of public services is anticipated to be available to accommodate more intensive development and redevelopment. Public services in areas outside the Urban Services Boundary are anticipated to be more limited, and planned development intensities should be lower. The Plan directs the state and communities to concentrate growth inside the boundary and within locally designated centers in rural areas, and to pursue different development approaches for urban and rural areas.</purpose>
<supplinf>The Future Land Use Map with the Urban Services Boundary describes the recommended 2025 future land use pattern for the State of Rhode Island. This map has several purposes and applications: It is intended as a policy guide for directing growth to areas most capable of supporting current and future developed uses (and conversely, away from areas less suited for development). In this regard, it is intended to inform state and local capital investment decisions so that investments may target and support growth in appropriate areas and discourage growth in inappropriate locations. Secondly, the Future Land Use Map is a guide to assist the state and communities in making land use policies. It is important to note the Map is a generalized portrayal of state land use policy. IT IS NOT A "STATEWIDE ZONING MAP" - zoning matters and individual land use decisions are the prerogative of local governments.</supplinf>
