Dear Mrs. Vinson,
The Town of Oriental is seeking authorization to write it's own CAMA Land Use Plan.
The Town of Oriental does have a zoning ordinance (Growth Management Ordinance)
and a subdivision ordinance. Both ordinances are enforced by the Town.
All building inspections in the Town are performed by the Pamlico County building
inspector. To the best of my knowledge, all State Building Code regulations are enforced.
Sincerely,
Sherrill Styron

Dear Mr. C> or: %yat
In accordance with § 113A-110(c) Coastal Area Management Act and the 2002 Coastal
Resources Commission (CRC) Land Use Planning guidelines [7B.0701(a)], any municipality
that wishes to develop and adopt its own CAMA Land Use Plan must be delegated this authority
by either the County in which municipality is located or through the CRC.
In order for the CRC to grant authority to a municipality to develop an individual plan, the
regulations require the CRC to find that the local government has adopted and is enforcing
zoning and subdivision ordinances and is enforcing the State Building Code regulations within
its jurisdiction.
If your municipality wishes to seek authorization to write an individual plan from the CRC, a
letter must be submitted to the CRC from the Mayor or his/her designee verifying that the
municipality has adopted and is enforcing zoning and subdivision ordinances and is enforcing
the State Building Code regulations. The letter should be sent to Kathy Vinson, Planning and
Public Access Manager, Division of Coastal Management, 151-B Highway 24, Hestron Plaza II,
Morehead City, NC 28557.
If your municipality wishes to seek authority from the County in which you are located, a
certified resolution from the County's elected board of this action, a letter from the chief elected
County official documenting the action of the elected board, or a certified copy of the minutes of
the meeting where the authorization was granted must be submitted to the Division of Coastal
Management (a sample resolution is enclosed). Please note that the regulations do not require the
County to make the findings required of the CRC concerning municipal adoption and
enforcement of zoning and subdivision regulations and enforcement of the State Building Code
regulations. This documentation should also be sent to Kathy Vinson in Morehead City.
For those municipalities anticipating grant assistance for plan development, please note that the
funding contract will be contingent upon,receiving CAMA land use planning authority from
either the County or the CRC. Therefore you should promptly proceed with this process.
