The elements included in this report and those referred to in supporting documents do address the require- ments of the basic Land Use Element. Included in this updated plan are both broad goals and annual objectives as well as defined criteria for evaluating the extent to which the annual objectives are being met. (See Section III,"Goals and Objectives" in this updated plan.) Section 600.73(c), (d) The main supporting document for the update of the land development plan is the Pamlico County Coastal Area Management Plan, May, 1976. This docu- ment, which was financed by grants from the State of North Carolina, the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA), and the Coastal Plains Regional Commission, contains a comprehensive land development plan which satisfies nearly all of the FEUD requirements. Required elements not covered in this or other referenced supporting documents are included among the various sections of this report. Some minor supporting documents to this update are: 1) Summary of the Pamlico County Land Use Plan, 1976; and 2) Capital Improvements Budget, Pamlico County, 1973. 1 Although this report addresses only the land use element requirements, included also is a section on housing needs as part of the land use element. Supporting documents to this section include: 1) Review and Update: Housing Element, Pamlico County, North Carolina, 19 1; an 2) Housing Program for Pamlico County, North Carolina, 1972. The latter document above resulted from analysis included in the former. Section 600.73(e)(1) The implementation of the land use element in Pamlico County is primarily the responsibility of the county board of commissioners. Officials of the county's tovms, local planning boards, and other local appointed officials are encouraged to make decisions that are consistent with and complement the county's land use program activities over the next three years. No specific county legislative action is necessary for implementation of program activities. It should be noted, however, that county officials are aware that continued county -wide development activities are contingent upon funding beyond the local level. Section 600.67(b) As previously stated, this report addresses only the land use element requirements; and while there is no'accompanying housing element report being submitted simultaneously, when the housing element is prepared the same analytical base will be used. With the utilization of a similar data base and similar analytical techniques, programmatic projections in the housing element should be consistent with the land use element. 2 Section 600. 73 (c) (6): A-95 Review Requirements To assure consistency with related programs, this addendum to the Pamlico County Land Development Plan will be submitted to the following agencies as part of the A-95 review process. 1) Coastal Resources Commission P.O.

All participants in the program are required to have an "acceptable" land use and a housing element. This report, however, addresses the required land use element only. In May of 1976, the Pamlico County Coastal Area Management Plan was completed. This plan, one of fifty-four such plans prepared for designated counties and municipalities included under the state's Coastal Area Manage- ment Program (authorized under the CAMA Act), is an extensive and compre- hensive document. A major portion of the document included detailed analyses of Pamlico County's population, economy, 1976 land uses bydistribution and category, and growth projections for all of these specific areas. Also included in the coastal area plan is an analysis of the existing public facilities and their ability to meet projected needs, and a detailed analysis of the environmental impacts of the plan's implementation. Finally, a large segment of this document is devoted to the presentation of a land development plan, which includes analyses of the pattern, intensity, and timing of uses for specified use categories. (See Section 600.72(c)(3) ). In short, nearly all of the detailed analytical exigencies required under the "701" program's land use element are adequately covered in the coastal area plan; nevertheless, an update of this type is essential for two major reasons. 4 The first reason is due to the necessity of periodically reviewing • development plans to denote the emerging growth and development patterns. This periodic review is particularly useful in helping to "spot" previously undetected and/or difficult land compatibility problems. Periodic review and assessment of development patterns --when compared to an original land development plan --can also serve a monitoring function by showing the emerging patterns in relation 'to the plan. The second major reason this update is necessary is because some of the requirements of the HUD "701" program are not included in the Coastal Area Management Plan.l This update will present a summary of changes which have occurred since 1976 (actually, the end of 1975), both in land use patterns and in land use methods. Along with the 1976 CAMA Plan, this report will continue to serve as a guide for decision -making by the various intergovernmental levels --Federal, state, and local --on all matters related to the use of land in Pamlico County. This includes "air and water quality concerns, waste disposal, transportation....and housing," which is required for all participants in the HUD 11701" Comprehensive Planning Assistance Program. Therefore, development policy in this update should --and, in fact, does -- show consistency between the standards and policies formulated by local officials and the Pamlico County citizenry in the 1976 CAMA Plan. The Land Development Update for Pamlico County will be focused primarily on land use and related policies. This will be done mainly by the trans- lation of broad and general goals and objectives into specific policy 1 The state attempted to structure the CAMA planning guidelines to include the. criteria that planners foresaw in the HUD guidelines which were known to be promulgated in two to three years. 0 statements with programmatic implications. In all applicable instances, the specific policy statements will be put into an "annualized," year -by -year perspective over a period of three years. Evaluation and monitoring criteria will also be outlined in this report. The more detailed analytical requirements of the 11701" land use element such as population analysis, land use analysis, projections for future demands, etc., are thoroughly covered in the 1976 Coastal Area Management Plan (CAMA). M PART I EMERGING DEVELOPMENT PATTERNS Analyzing the past CAMA land use activities that have occurred in Pamlico County produces a picture of the emerging patterns. For example, new development --as well as redevelopment --and the utilization of previously vacant lands are indications of both population and economic growth. Since the CAMA Plan is only one and a half years old, one would not expect a tremendous amount of activity affecting the use of land to have occurred in Pamlico County; and this is true. Nevertheless, there have been some significant developments that are following pre-set patterns as well as the development policies outlined in the CAMA Plan. These policies, taking into careful consideration the special environmental concerns* of Pamlico County, were designed to achieve a balance between land use and growth throughout the county. A. RESIDENTIAL DEVELOPMENT As pointed out in thorough detail in the CAMA Plan (refer to pages 38 through 44 of that plan), Pamlico County is a mostly rural coastal county with about 41 percent of its 364,000 acres being water. Of the 213,000 acres that are land, 157,600, or 74 percent, are forested. Most of the non -forested land is used for crops and pastureland. There is also a significant percentage of the land area classified as marshland, which leaves relatively little land for "urban and built-up" purposes. (CAMA Plan, p. 40.) Residential development remains sparse and scattered throughout the county's five townships. There are light concentrations of residential development around the county's eight municipalities. Overall, residential development is occurring in accord with the 1976 plan projections. However, in 1976 most of the existing residential developments were concentrated in * Articulated in the N.C. CAMA as "Areas of Environmental Concern." 7 Townships I and III (encompassing Alliance, Bayboro, Grantsboro, Mesic, Reelsboro, and Vandemere). During 1976 and 1977, a total of six sub- divisions were approved, with a total of 108 lots for sale. Nearly all of these (90, or 83 percent) are located in Township V, in and around the towns of Oriental, Arapahoe, and Minnesott Beach. This indicates a new trend of residential development in these waterfront communities. Overall, during 1976 and,1977, a total of 120 building permits were issued for the construction of residential buildings. A total of 300 permits were issued for mobile homes during the 1976-77 period. It should be noted, however, that a number of these units are used for seasonal dwellings and non-residential purposes, which is not necessarily indicative of substantial population growth. B. CM ERCIAL (Trade and Services) Commercial activities remain concentrated in the small CBD areas of the county's towns and along major thoroughfares, particularly highways 306 and 55. During the period since the completion of the CAMA Plan (see CAMA Plan, pp. 23-25), a total of six building permits were issued for the construction of stores or other mercantile buildings. These included a Western Auto Store in Alliance and convenience stores in Minnesott Beach and Arapahoe. Although there was one minor zoning change (a small residential tract in Stonewall was rezoned Commercial), the development pattern of commercial activities in Pamlico County is anticipated to continue in general accord with the 1976 Land Development Plan. 1.1 C. MANUFACTURING Historically, manufacturing has not been an intense activity in Pamlico County. The most important industries have been, and continue to be, fishing and seafood processing. Because of the abundance of forestlands, timber products are second in industrial importance. (CAMA Plan, pp. 21-23.) There has been little or no growth in manufacturing in Pamlico County. As the CAMA Plan points out in more analytical detail, there are several deterrents to industrialization of the county. Among these deterrents are the nature of the coastal soil types, which limit industrial site selections; inadequate transportation links; and the lack of an ade- quate water supply system or sewage disposal system. However, steps have been taken by county officials to eliminate the latter problem as a constraint. (See discussion of utilities in this report, p.10 .) Although being situated in the Coastal Flood Plains area does present some physical constraints on industrial development (see pp. 70-72; 86-88), there are some suitable potential industrial sites --mainly in the western part of the county where ground elevation is higher. Overall, the use of land for industrial purposes in Pamlico County would be in definite and positive accord with the original land development plan as set forth in the CAMA document. D. TRANSPORTATION AND (JNICATION 1) Transportation --Little or no change has occurred in the area of transportation since the completion of the CAMA Plan. No new thoroughfares have been constructed, and there is still a need for linkages --mainly bridges across the Neuse River to the south and the Pamlico River to the north. E These bridges would provide Pamlico County with direct access to Craven and Beaufort counties, respectively. Construction of these bridges, if and when it occurs, would have a significant impact upon land use in the county. 2) Communication --No major use of land has occurred involving communications development. However; a new exchange building was con- structed by Carolina Telephone and Telegraph Company near Oriental. This new exchange allowed for the provision of «touch-tone services to some parts of the county, and generally extended and expanded services to other portions. E. PUBLIC FACILITIES The discussion of public facilities will be limited to water and sewer. No changes or projections have occurred in the other facilities such as schools, roads, etc. In regard to sewer and water, however, some significant events have occurred. (CAMA Plan, pp. 134 and 135.) 1) Water --The construction of a county -wide water system will begin in fiscal year 1978-79 and is expected to be completed in 1980. This will be the first such water supply system in the county. Major trunk mains will be laid out so as to make water services available to all portions of the county. This system --which includes four 200,000 gallon storage tanks and two treatment facilities --is expected to serve the residential and industrial needs of Pamlico County for the next twenty years. Financing for this water system was made possible by locally approved bonds, grants from the Farmers' Home Administration, the Coastal Plains Regional Commission, and State Clean Water Bond Funds. 10 2) Sewer --Although a 201 Facilities Plan for the Bayboro area has recently been completed, there is still no county -wide sewage disposal system. Bayboro is the lead agency of the 201 planning area, which includes the towns of Alliance, Hollyville, Stonewall, and Vandemere. Another 201 Facilities study is being initiated in the southern portion of the county, with Oriental acting as the lead agency. If these 201 plans can be imple- mented, the county would be well under way to establishing an area -wide sewage disposal system. F. CaTMITY DEVELOPMENT Pamlico County is not a participant in the HUD 701 Community Develop- ment Block Grant Program. However, the county does plan to initiate its own economic development program which will be focused primarily on industrial development. (See Goals and Objectives Section.) G. RECREATION No significant uses of land for recreation have occurred in Pamlico County since the completion of the CAMA plan. (See CAMA, p. 61.) However, a recreation Master Plan is currently being developed which, if implemented, would affect land use. This plan proposes the development of parks, nature trails, and tennis courts. (See section on Goals and Objectives.) SLWMY OF EMERGING DEVELOPMENT PATTERNS As the CAMA plan points out in its analysis, the population of Pamlico County has been steadily declining since 1960 and is projected to continue this trend. (See CAMA, pp. 5-14.) Nevertheless, over the past two years, some new developments have taken place which may indicate a stabilization 11 of the downward trend. Analysis over a longer period of time, however, is necessary in order to obtain a true assessment of the population trends. The overall development patterns appear to follow the projected land use indicated in the Coastal Area Management Land Development Plan. With continued enforcement of land use controls, including the forthcoming permits for Areas of Environmental Concern under LAMA, incompatible land uses should be avoided. 12 SECTION II ANALYTICAL REQUIREMENTS FOR POLICY DEVELOPMENT A. ANALYTICAL REQUIREMENTS FOR POLICY DEVELOPMENT Basic Land Use Element Requirements: 600.72(a) 1. Existing Land Use (MMA,pp. 38-44) "In order to make proposals and projections for future land use, it is first necessary to analyze existing land use patterns in an effort to per- ceive attributes or problems as they now exist." (CAMA plan, p. 38.) The existing land uses in Pamlico County are presented in complete analytical detail in the CAMA plan and summarized briefly on page 7 of this report. An important feature of the land is the high proportion of wetlands, marshlands, and estuarine areas. 2. Projected Land Needs (CAMA, p. 134) There is no population growth projected in Pamlico County over the next years; therefore, projected land demand is also limited. However, because of the generally low percolation rate of most soils in the county and the high water tables, extensive use of septic tanks is prohibited in many areas. Since water and sewer facilities are projected as more feasible around the county's towns, these areas were classified as "Transitional" under the CAMA Land Classification. Some intra-county population shift is expected to occur in these areas. 3. Housing Needs Closely related to population is the availability and quality of housing. A large number of mobile homes have been placed in the county, especially • for summer use. Although they are less expensive, these homes deteriorate at a faster rate than permanent homes, creating a constant need for more 13 housing in the county. Public housing units would be a more desirable alternative for many people who might now reside in mobile homes or in- sufficient permanent houses. Fewer homes were built in 1977 than in 1976, but the average cost per permanent dwelling is still too much for most residents who are trying to buy a home. Obviously, there is a need for lower cost housing units. To help solve this problem, the county should seek funds to initiate a housing program for lower and moderate income residents. Another alternative would be to encourage the building of more multifamily dwelling units which are less expensive for the renter or purchaser. 4. Public Facilities to Support Projected Needs (CAMA, p. 134) As discussed in Part I, p. 10 of this report, construction of a county -wide water system will begin at the start of the next fiscal year. The capacity of this system is projected to be more than adequate for the county's needs for the next twenty-five years. Since population is not expected to increase substantially, there is no need for extensive new public facilities. However, there is a need for an adequate sewerage disposal system in the county due to the limitations of septic tank utilization imposed by the soil types. S. Growth Distribution Again, it should be noted that little growth is projected to occur in Pamlico County for the next ten years. However, an intra-county population shift is expected to increase the population around the county's towns. Any other distribution of growth will be subject to restrictions imposed by 14 regulatory requirements regarding the many areas of environmental concern in the county. 6. Land Use Strategies to Reduce Energy Consumption Although this area was not addressed in the CAMA plan, there are some provisions that county officials can adopt in the future which would lead toward energy conservation. Policies addressing centralized commercial development which, if encouraged, could reduce traveling to "fringe" areas to shop --and thus save gasoline --is one example. Another policy example might be that once sewer and water lanes are installed, development should be encouraged in areas where those services are located. This could somewhat negate the necessity of extending facilities to areas where services are not yet available. Establishing and enforcing stricter insulation re- quirements under existing building codes is another example of strategy involving the use of land that might be implemented. 7. Effect of Major Federal Activity in the Area There are no major Federal activities in Pamlice County and, consequently, no effect on its land development plan. 15 SECTION III BROAD GOALS, ANNUAL OBJECTIVES, AND EVALUATION CRITERIA GOALS, OBJECTIVES, AND EVALUATION CRITERIA: CITIZEN PARTICIPATION During the planning phase for the CAM plan, the staff responsible for the plan's development put forth an extensive effort to involve the county's citizenry in the planning process. These efforts included a series of public meetings, distribution of a questionnaire (including publishing it in local newspapers), and the provision of public informa- tion through radio and television announcements. Out of the citizens' involvement activities, evolved a set of broad goals and objectives re- garding alternatives for the growth and development of Pamlico County. There were nine original goal areas specified, all of which are listed below (see CAMA pp. 57-68): 1) Employment 2) Road system 3) Water and sewer 4) Industrial development 5) Land use controls 6) Recreation 7) Agricultural and forestry production 8) Marine habitat protection 9) Wildlife Prior to the preparation of this addendum, meetings were held with both the planning board and the County Board of Commissioners to assess the original goals and objectives. Both of these county boards --composed of citizens from throughout the county --agreed that the originally determined goals and objectives still represented the main concerns for the future of Pamlico County. It was also decided in these meetings that the goals and objectives should be put into specific programmatic statements, which would serve as operational "guides." This resulted in the development of the required annual objectives, which represent specific policy statements. 16 PAMLICO COUNTY Broad Goals and Annual Objectives I.

This assessment should provide both information for assessing the validity of each goal (to check for possible necessary re- visions) as well as the achievement status of each goal. The review process should basically be the responsibility of the county board and the planning board; however, provisions should be made --perhaps in the form of public meetings to solicit input --which would allow parti- cipation from local citizens and other county departments. This should be done at the end of each fiscal year, with a brief written report prepared for each year. A suggested format for,this report is included below: Goal: Objectives: 1) 2) Completion Status: Comments: PROGRAM STATUS SUNMARY For Fiscal Year 22 SECTION IV PLAN IMPLEMENTATION, POLICIES, PROGRAMS, MECHANISMS, AND PROCEDURES A. CRITERIA AND STANDARDS FOR GUILDING GROWTH There are both some general standards for guiding growth in Pamlico County as well as specific criteria necessary because it is a coastal county. The development of land within Pamlico County should be undertaken in accordance with sound resource management principles in order to make the most economical use of public funds invested in services to enhance private investment in the long-term future development of the county. In order to provide the county with proper guidelines to aid in development decisions, certain,basic standards are established. The following general standards will help guide development to appropriate areas and identify certain measures necessary to insure effective guidance and growth direction. General Standards (1) Development should be located on stable, well -drained soils with relatively low water table. (2) Structures should be located on the development site to avoid the destruction of natural vegetation wherever possible. (3) Structures should be located on site to avoid the alteration of natural land form and drainage where possible. (4) Development should be located to minimize interference with established patterns of surrounding land use and to prevent conflict between incompatible uses of land. (5) Development should be located to avoid the destruction or irretrievable alteration of fragile or valuable natural or cultural resources. (6) Development should not occur in areas where there is a demon- strated danger of the loss of life or property due to natural or man-made processes. (7) Development in areas subject to flooding should be designed and located to minimize the damage caused by such flooding. (8) Development should be located and timed to make the most efficient and economical use of existing or proposed public services including water,'sewer, solid waste disposal, public safety, schools, libraries, and social services. Residential Standards (1) Permanent neighborhoods should be located in sheltered areas protected from encroachment by major transportation routes and incompatible commercial development. (2) Permanent neighborhoods should maintain low density levels and large amounts of useable open space to preserve the privacy and aesthetic appeal. 23 (3) Residential development which requies septic tanks for sewage disposal should follow current health requirements as to soil type, height of water table and area to prevent pollution of ground water supply, aquifer recharge areas or estuarine waters. (4) Development which results in residential densities over 3 families per acre should be served by public or community sewage disposal systems. Commercial Standards (1) General commercial activities and businesses require locations adjacent to major thoroughfares. The uncontrolled development of commercial sites at scattered locations along highways does not promote good business, is inconvenient for shoppers, promotes inefficient use of valuable developable land, creates dangerous traffic conflicts at each driveway entrance, and seriously impairs the capacity and function of the highway. Therefore, commercial development should be concentrated in groups of complementary uses where possible. (2) Small commercial enterprises of less than one acre are encouraged to locate where suitable sites exist among existing commercial uses in order to take advantage of combined drawing power and to increase customer convenience. (3) Large scale commercial developments involving one acre or more are encouraged to concentrate complementary uses on sites large enough to provide ample parking, controlled access to highways, and suitable buffering for adjacent residential use. (4) Convenience retail facilities designed and limited to serve neighborhood level trade areas only may be appropriate adjacent to some residential neighborhoods if properly buffered to mini-. mize impact on adjacent residences. Industrial Standards (1) Industries locating in the Pamlico County planning area should be required to provide an assessment of the impact of primary and secondary development caused by industry and should use the best available technology to avoid pollution of the water or air during construction and in production. (2) Industrial sites should be on land having stable, well -drained soils. The sites should be free from the danger of flooding and located where public utilities are available. (3) Where possible, industrial sites should be buffered by major highways, railroads, greater setback depths, or natural topographic features. (4) Industrial sites should have ample space for expansion. Cultural, Entertainment, and Recreational Standards (1) Cultural, entertainment, and recreation facilities should locate near existing and projected population concentrations in order to best serve the people of Pamlico County. (2) Public facilities should be planned to take maximum advantage of expended public monies in providing multi -use facilities where possible. 24 In addition to these general standards, specific criteria for guiding • growth are indicated in the Coastal Area Management Plan. These criteria take into special consideration the county's soil types, fragile areas such as coastal wetlands, tidal marshlands, and estuarine waters. (Refer to CAMA, pp. 88-104.) B. EXISTING PLANS AND POLICIES Pamlico County has several useful plans, policies, and specific imple- mentary tools that help guide its future growth and development in relation to land use. These will be listed along with a brief analysis below. Notice that these specific plans and policies do encompass the general standards outlined in the preceding Section A. Plans 1. Coastal Area Management Plan. This is the most comprehensive document available to Pamlico County regarding guidelines for future growth and development. This plan includes analysis of existing land uses as well as projections for future demands. Elements dealing with Areas of Environ- mental Concern (AFC's) and the Coastal Land Classification System are in- cluded in this plan and lay adequate bases for helping to decide where growth should and should not take place. 2. A Thoroughfare Plan for Pamlico County was adopted by Pamlico County, February, 1971. It was adopted by the North Carolina State Highway Commission, May, 1971. The thoroughfare plan shows existing and proposed minor collector roads. 3. A Water and Sewer Plan was prepared for Pamlico County by Paul M. Van Camp Associates in 1968. This plan discusses the needs of the communities 25 in the county as well as the cost of the proposed facilities. After this plan was completed, Bayboro and surrounding areas were placed in a 201 plan- ning area for which needs and cost of the wastewater facilities treatment were analyzed. The 201 plan has recently been completed; and presently, funds are being sought for its implementation. 4. A Capital Improvements Budget was prepared for Pamlico County in 1973. This budget listed capital improvement expenditures which were to be made during the years 1973-78. The key to the success of any plan, however, is its implementation. The Capital Improvements Budget was never adopted for implementation. 5. A Recreation blaster Plan is currently being prepared by the county. This plan will provide policies, procedures, and guides for Pamlico County to achieve its goals under recreation. Included in this plan will be recommendations for specific uses of land for parks, nature trails, tennis courts, and other recreational activities. 6. There are no plans or policies regarding open space or the extension of utilities in Pamlico County at the present time. Policies The county's policies for plan implementation and growth guidance are reflected in its implementary planning tools.. These tools are: 1. Zoning Ordinance. A zoning ordinance for Pamlico County was adopted July 13, 1970. Those towns in the county may come under the zoning ordinance if they desire. At this time, Oriental, Vandemere, and Stonewall adhere to the county zoning ordinance. The county zoning administrator enforces the zoning ordinance where it is in effect. 2. Subdivision Regulations. The Board of County Commissioners approved the county subdivision regulations with an effective date of December 3, 1973, 26 in accordance with the provisions of North Carolina General Statutes, Chapter 153, Article 20A. The subdivision administrator enforces the subdivision ordinance for the planning board and county commissioners. 3. Flood Zoning Ordinance. Pamlico County adopted an ordinance which specifically regulates building and other development in its designated flood hazard areas. The county participates in the National Flood In- surance Program. 4. Minimal Housing Codes. Pamlico County has a Building Inspection Department, which actively enforces the state building codes. These codes set standards for plumbing, electrical wiring, and other construction -related activities. Also recently included in the building codes are energy con- servation standards such as insulation requirements. 5. Coastal Area Management Implementation and Enforcement Plan. Pamlico County recently began enforcing the regulation of minor development in its many areas of Environmental Concern (AEC's). This plan prohibits minor development in the AEC's without the issuance of a permit. This is required to protect the county's AEC's. Other required development permits are still mandatory. C. POLICY RECOMMENDATIONS Some useful policy and/or implementary areas not currently addressed by Pamlico County include those of: Historic Areas, Updating of the Land Development Plan and Land Use Tools, and continued public participation. It is recommended that the county develop policies, procedures, and/or tools that specifically address these areas. 27 D. MECHANISMS FOR COORDINATION WITH OTHER FUNCTIONAL LEVELS OF PLANNING As a coastal county, most of the elements in the Pamlico County Land Development Plan are generally consistent with the other nineteen counties included under the Coastal Area Management Act. These plans are representa- tive of the-state's overall development goals for its coastal area. Pamlico County is also a member of the Neuse River Council of Govern- ments, which represents another level of functional planning. The implementation of the land development plan, along with the pro- grammatic statements included under "Goals and Objectives," p. 17, would tie in with and functionally coordinate programs in several important areas. Any adverse, incompatible, or contradictory program implications should be identified in the A-95 review process. 28 SECTION V ASSESSMENTS A. ENVIRONIE9FAL ASSESSMENT Abstract The Land Development Plan for Pamlico County, prepared under the auspices of the Coastal Area Management Act, enumerates both land use and environmental policies that cover a period of ten years. With regard for the necessity of protecting the environmental and ecologically delicate coastal zone (including estuaries, marshlands, and other areas of environ- mental concern), this plan contains policies that, if implemented, would perpetuate sound and balanced growth in the planning area. Environmental Impact Most of the environmental impacts of the plan, if implemented, would be beneficial to the planning area. However, when any ecosystem is disturbed for the intervention of development, some short-term negative impacts will occur; but with consistent and wise application of the implementarytools such as zoning, subdivision regulations, and the regulation of minor develop- ment in AEC's, any negative impacts will be short -tern. The long -run impacts will be positive and beneficial. The state's environmental impact assessment programs require the investigation of the impact of specific "bricks and mortar" type of project (through the A-95 review machinery) at the time they are proposed and funded. Adverse Environmental Effects Again, the implementation of some of the programmatic goals of the plan -- industrial development, for example --would produce some unavoidable environ- mental effects. Nevertheless, even these unavoidable effects should be short-term in their impact. Alternatives Implementation of the plan with the accompanying impiementary tools would be representative of sound land use and environmental management principles. Possible alternatives --that is, the absence of sound management principles -- would result in uncontrolled growth and development. Obviously, this would result in undesirable and perhaps long-term negative environmental impacts. Relationship of Short-term to Long-term Effects on the Environment The policies and plans of the CAMA document identified both short-term needs and uses as well as long -run impacts. It also allows for the realistic and practical short-term disturbance of the environment in response to fulfillment of overall goals. However, and very importantly, the policies call for the protection and enhancement of the environment in the long -run. Irreversible or Irretrievable Commitment of Resources While specific irreversible or irretrievable conudtment of resources cannot fully be determined until the plan is in full implementation, it is not anticipated that there should be any. Federal, State, and Local Environmental Controls In addition to the measures set forth in the plan, all existing Federal, state, and local environmental controls are applicable. B. HISTORIC PRESERVATION ASSESSMENT There is, at present, one historic property in Pamlico County listed on the National Register of Historic Places. Additionally, there are three others in the county currently under study by the North Carolina Archaeology and Historic Preservation Section, Division of Archives and History. These places will be listed below. Policy Objective Policy regarding the protection and preservation of historic areas was included in the CAMA plan. (CAMA, pp. 155-156.) This policy indicated that specific land uses which would result in substantial damage to a historical property would be prohibited. 30 Historic Places in Pamlico County 1.

Abbreviations: NR: Listed in the National Register of Historic Places. SL: Study List; National Register nomination in progress. 32 As the above list shows, there is currently one historic property in Pamlico County recorded on the National Register. (See accompanying map for location.) Assessment of National Register and Study List Properties: Impact of Proposed Plans: Adverse and Beneficial --The impact of both the CAMA plan and this update can only be construed as beneficial to the identified historic properties in Pamlico County. No adverse impacts are anticipated as a result of the implementation of these plans. In fact, one of the general standards for guiding land development identified in this update recognizes the importance of protecting valuable cultural resources such as historic properties. (See p. 23 of this document, item 5.) Unavoidable Adverse Impacts Most of the locations of historic properties in Pamlico County are in -undeveloped areas. It is anticipated that these areas will remain un- developed for quite some time in the future. Without development and some of its inherent problems, there are no foreseen unavoidable adverse impacts to historic properties; and even with development in these locations, it is the policy of'Pamlico County to protect its historic properties. Alternatives to Proposed Plans or Policies The main alternative to the policies and plans put forth to preserve places of historic value would be a negative one, i.e., no policy at all. Thus, the preservation, enhancement, and protection of these valuable historical resources would not be assured. Impact of Proposed Plans and Policies on the Long-term Maintenance and U Presently, there is only one National Register property in Pamlico County. The development policies and plans set forth in the CM plan and this update will not only be beneficial to the long-term maintenance of the current National Register property, but also to any others identified in the future. Statement of Compliance with Federal Controls (a) National Historic Preservation Act of 1966 and Executive Order 11953: Pamlico County has complied with these acts, as evidenced by the selection of one property for the National Register. (b) The Archaeological and Historic Preservation Act of 1974: Although Pamlico County has not experienced major develop- ment activities applicable to this act, the county will comply as situations apply. Additionally, the Town of Bayboro is the lead community for a recently completed 201 Facilities Plan study (Phase I). A detailed archaeo- logical survey of recommended construction sites will be conducted in Phase II of the 201 study. 33 (c) Protection of Historic and Cultural Properties (Federal Register: 1-25-74): In addition to the already identified sites in the county, the Pamlico County Historical Society, supported by the • Board of County Commissioners and outside funding sources, plans to conduct a complete survey of historical and architecturally significant sites and structures. This study is planned to begin in the spring of 1978 and be completed by the summer of 1979. Statement of State Controls The following protective legislation has been granted to the State of North Carolina by the General Statutes: (a) G.S. 121-12(a), Protection of Properties on the National Register (b) G.S. 113A, Article 1, State Environmental Policy Act (c) G.S. 70.1-4, Indian Antiquities (d) G.S. 121, Article 3, Salvage of Abandoned Shipwrecks and Other Undernwater Archaeological Sites (e) G.S. 136-42.1, Archaeological Salvage in Highway Construction (f) G.S. 113-229, Provisions for Cultural Resources in Dredging and Filling Operations Statement of Local Controls Pamlico County is authorized to create historic districts as part of its zoning ordinance by G.S. 160A, Article 19, Part 3A. The county is also authorized to create a Historic Properties Commission by Part 3B of the above cited enabling statute. These statutes, in addition to the current land use regulations enforced by the county, enable it both to preserve broad areas of historical significance by designating them as Historical Districts and to protect individual properties by its ordinance powers. It should be noted that China Grove --the only property currently on the National Register --is in an area designated "Community" according to the C41A classification. This classification denotes an area that has existing low -density development and is projected for low -density development in the future. Thus, the lack of projected development in this area should further enhance China Grove's protection and preservation. 34 .
