Overview The Town of Holden Beach {hereinafter "Holden Beach") is located within southern Brunswick County in North Carolina, between the towns of Oak Island and Ocean Isle Beach. Holden Beach's Land Use Plan is a tool to help local decision-makers achieve the community's long-term vision. This process allows public officials, staff, and other stakeholders to be proactive rather than reactive in maintaining Holden Beach's character as a family oriented coastal community. This plan builds on the previous land use plans prepared by Holden Beach in 1980, 1985, 1990, 1997, and 2009. The plan encompasses all geographic areas in the community; considering issues of future land use, development, and natural resource protection. The plan is long-range in nature and looks beyond current land use issues to address potential future land use and environmental issues over the next 10 to 20 years and beyond.
