The two major land users in 1975 were residential (59%), fol-
lowed by transportation (23%); together accounting for over 80
percent of all urban land area. Commercial and government
uses each comprised about one -tenth of the land, while
recreation and industrial were an extremely low one percent.
Outside the City, but within the one -mile radius for the
Jacksonville Planning Area, is an additional 12.5 square miles of
land which is only 17 percent urbanized (2.1 sq. mi.). Although
the urban land in this area is less than half that in Jacksonville, it
has:
.9 times more mobile home land
about 30% more commercial land
about 20% more industrial land, and
.6 times more urban -type vacant parcels ready for develop-
ment.
LAND CAPABILITY
The capability of land in the Jacksonville area to sustain future
growth will be restricted only by special attention which must be
given to the local soil conditions. Most of the soil is ranked as
having moderate or severe limitations for urban -type construc-
tion. This is caused primarily by the high water table or shrink -
swell characteristics of the soil.
To overcome the high water table, extensive and expensive
drainage facilities are necessary. And, overcoming the shrink -
swell limitations requires expensive removal and replacement of
unsuitable soils, or more stringent and expensive foundation
construction methods.
Thus, as long as the appropriate construction techniques are
used to overcome the soil limitations, the Jacksonville land is
capable of accommodating future growth.
PAST POPULATION TRENDS
In the fifty years between 1920 and 1970, Onslow County grew
from 14,703 people to 103,126-an increase of 88,423 or 600
percent. In the same time period, the City of Jacksonville grew
from 656 people to 16,021-an increase of 15,365 or 2,343
percent.
The tremendous growth was not equally distributed through-
out this time period; but, rather was primarily concentrated in
the twenty years from 1940 to 1960-and, the major reason for
this was the establishment of the Marine Base known as Camp
Lejeune.
The 1970 U.S. Census of population showed that Jacksonville
City contained about 16 percent of the County population, while
the Township represented 54 percent (see Exhibit 2.4t). Overall,
the military -related population accounted for 42 percent of the
total, and also pushed the percentage of males, and over-18-
year-olds, above the state and national average.

PRESENT POPULATION ESTIMATES
Various sources have estimated the population of Onslow,
Jacksonville Township, and Jacksonville City for the years 1973,
1974, and 1975. The estimates used in this plan for 1975 are:
...20,000 for Jacksonville City
...63,737 for Jacksonville Township
...112,000 for Onslow County.
POPULATION PROJECTIONS
The population projections to the year 2000, selected by the
Jacksonville committees, show Onslow County increasing by
over 26,000 people, or 26 percent, with the majority of this
growth located in the Jacksonville Township (see Exhibit 2.5t).
Future growth for the City of Jacksonville will depend
primarily on its annexation policy, since there is little unde-
veloped land remaining within the City's boundaries. As shown
by Exhibit 2.4t, the "low estimate for the year 2000 is 25,000
people, an increase of 9,000 or 56 percent over 1970. This
projection is based on assumptions that (1) no annexation takes
place, but growth occurs on the City's remaining vacant land, or
(2) the City only annexes land within its Planning Area containing
2,000 people plus the 3,000 people in Brynn Marr as of 1975.
The "high estimate is for 41,000 people by 2000, an increase of
25,000 or 156 percent. This is based on annexing all of Brynn Marr
(± 10,000 people ultimately) and much of the other developed
land in the Jacksonville Planning Area. The projected population
for the year 2020 is 56,000 people.

FUTURE LAND NEEDS
The City's 1975 population of 20,000 was served by 4.8 square
miles of urbanized land, which is an average of over 4,000
persons per square mile of urban land.
In the next ten years, it is estimated that the City could add
anywhere from 5,000 to 13,000 people, which would require 1.25
to 3.25 square miles of new urban land if the 1975 ratio is
extended.
In order to overcome past deficiencies in park and industrial
land, however, it was decided that the 1975 ratio would not be
used. Rather, a lower ratio of 3,000 persons per square mile was
used. At this ratio, the new land needs by 1985 would be 1.7
square miles if only 5,000 people were added, or 4.3 square miles
if the higher projection of 13,000 were realized.
FUTURE SERVICES
To the extent that Jacksonville's future growth comes from
annexing nearby land that is already developed, the amount of
needed services may or may not, be at a minimum. For
completely new growth, however, the full range of public
services will be needed. Some of these services, and their ability
to serve new growth, are described in the following:
Schools -The Onslow County Board of Education projects no
increase in school enrollment by 1980. As justification for this
unusual situation, one may consider that the County was
estimated to have grown by 12,000 people (or 12 percent) in the
last five years -but the public school enrollment stayed fairly
stable.
Parks -The park needs for another 13,000 people would be 130
acres, the accepted standard of 10 acres of park land needed for
each 1,000 people. At this ratio, there's also a deficiency of about
177 acres for the existing 20,000 Jacksonville residents. If both
needs were to be met in the next 10 years, 307 acres of new park
land would have to be acquired. The Montford Point area, if ever
declared surplus, would make an excellent location for a large,
Citywide park.
Fire Protection -In view of the City's two existing stations, and a
third one proposed on the east side of town, proper fire
protection services should be available for new growth.
Water Supply -The City's water supply system is undergoing an
expansion from 2.15 million gallons per day (mgd) to 4.11 mgd,
and later planned expansion to 4.55 mgd. It is estimated that only
half of the 4.11 mgd capacity will be needed to serve the existing
20,000 population. This means that ample capacity should be
available to accommodate another 13,000 people by 1985.
Sewage Disposal -The City's two existing sewage treatment
plants have a combined capacity of 3.08 mgd, and only 67
percent of this capacity was being used in 1973 to serve an
estimated 17,000 people.
Also, it has been proposed that the trickling filter plant be
upgraded (and the lagoon facility abandoned) to a design
capacity of 4.0 mgd, which could serve approximately 30,000
people. If the projected growth of 13,000 by 1985 is realized, it
may mean that additional expansion will need to be considered
for the early 1980's.
Streets and Highways -In 1969, the North Carolina Highway
Commission prepared a Thoroughfare Plan for Jacksonville. The
plan called for improvements to existing facilities, as well as
proposals for new facilities in order to better serve the existing
population and to accommodate expected new growth. Some of
the new proposals included a freeway south of Downtown and
parallel to N.C. 24, another freeway to relieve U.S. 17, and
completion of Western Boulevard as a loop arterial completely
around the City to U.S. 17 on the west.
It is important that the cost implications of this future growth
also be understood by local officials and citizens. Although
certain costs will be borne, or shared, by developers and state
and federal government ... other major costs will accrue to the
City.
LAND CLASSIFICATION
On the basis of all the work completed to this point, the
Coastal Resource Commission guidelines now request that all
land in the Jacksonville Planning Area be classified into five
categories. It is felt that this classification will assist in improving
future cooperation and coordination between the City, County,
state, and federal governments. The system is designed to guide
governmental services and public expenditures into appropriate
areas of the community. The classification scheme for Jackson-
ville is shown by Exhibit 2.6m, and briefly explained in the
remainder of this section.
Class No. 1: Developed -This is for land that is already fully
developed, with a population density of at least 2,000 persons
per square mile and adequately served with public facilities. All
of the urban area within Jacksonville falls into this category.
Class No. 2: Transition -This is for presently undeveloped land
that is expected to be urbanized in the next ten years with a
density of at least 2,000 persons per square mile. The 4.3 square
miles of new development estimated to be needed to serve
another 13,000 people falls into this category, and is shown on
the Exhibit 2.6m to be located to the north and east.
Class No. 3: Community -This is for existing or new clusters of
low density development at a density of one person per acre. No
land is placed in this classification.
Class No. 4: Rural -This is for land intended for long-term
management for productive resource utilization, and land for
future needs which are not currently recognized. For Jackson-
ville, two large areas to the north and northwest, now used for
forestry, are grouped into this classification.
Class No. 5: Conservation -This identifies land which should be
maintained essentially in its natural state, and where very
limited, or no, public services are provided. For Jacksonville,
the only areas placed in this category are the New River, its
tributaries, and the flood plain areas adjacent to them.
The only environmentally fragile areas in the Jacksonville area
are the New River, its tributaries, and the adjacent flood plain.
Within the flood plain, the only appropriate types of activities
would be of an open character, such as yards, recreation areas,
surface parking, farming, and similar uses.
After hydrologic studies are made in the future, the flood
plains may be divided into a floodway (that carries the heavy flow
of a 100 year storm) and a flood fringe. Uses permitted in the
floodway would be only the open type of activity. Within the
flood fringe area, however, special permits could be requested
for other limited types of activity.
IMPLEMENTATION
Responsibilities for implementing certain portions of this plan
will include private enterprise, government, and governmental
regulation of private actions.
In order to protect the flood plains, as an environmentally
sensitive area, the City will comply with the provisions of the
Federal Flood Insurance Act. All building permits, subdivision
plats, and zone change requests will be reviewed by the City for
conformance to flood plain requirements.
Development of the new residential, commercial, and
industrial areas primarily will be the responsibility of private
enterprise. Provision of parks, fire protection, water suply, and
sewage disposal will be the responsibility of the City.
Implementation of the major thoroughfare proposals will be
the responsibility primarily of the State.
PLAN UPDATING
The Land Use Plan should be reviewed periodically, and
revised to reflect any changes in life style or environmental or
economic pressures. Such updating could possibly best be
handled by a continuation of the organizational structure used
for the preparation of this plan. This would include the
cooperative efforts of the Mayor and City Council, Planning
Board, Citizens' Advisory Committee and Technical Advisory
Committee -with administrative coordination from the City
Manager and staff support from the City Engineer.
AVAILABILITY OF COMPLETE PLAN
This synopsis attempts to provide the reader with a general
overview of the most important portions of the Jacksonville
Coastal Area Management Land Use Plan. Anyone desiring to
review a copy of the complete plan may do so by visiting the City
Manager's office at the Jacksonville City Hall.
PLAN COORDINATION WITH COUNTY AND CAMP LEJEUNE
Throughout the preparation of the Jacksonville Plan, close
coordination was maintained with the Onslow County Planning
Staff through informal meetings, membership on the Jackson-
ville Technical Advisory Committee, correspondence, and
review of partial drafts and the complete preliminary draft
submitted to the Coastal Resources Commission. Special
attention was paid to coordination for population breakdowns
and projections, land use, land capabilities, areas of environ-
mental concern, and the overall time schedule.
Similar coordination and contact was maintained with the
Marine Base, Camp Lejeune, through membership on the
Technical Advisory Committee and review and comments on all
drafts. Studies prepared by Camp Lejeune personnel were most
helpful in the areas of population, land use, traffic, and other
areas.
