Land-use Planning Now Underway This is Part II of a four-part series on the Coastal Area Management Program. This material was supplied by the Coastal Resources Commission. Land-use planning is now underway in all 20 counties under the Coastal Area Management program. These land-use plans are documents that will determine the best path for each county to follow for future' development and growth. By November 23 of this year all plans must be adopted by local governments and presented to the Coastal Resources Commission for final review and approval. A land-use plan is a blueprint for each county in the coastal area. Each plan will contain all of the important facts about the population and size of the county, the soil and water characteristics, the type of industry and economy that support the county, and the growth issues that face the county in the near future. All of these facts will actually be the written description of the county. Besides a summary of facts, each land-use plan will also contain the full range of opinions on growth and progress from the citizens of the county. These are being asked and recorded during these important early months of the land-use planning. The opinions gathered from the public will form a statement of goals and objectives that will be written into the land-use plan for constant reference in the future when decisions must be made about specific development projects. While the summary of facts and the statement of goals and objectives are being collected, professional land-use planners are preparing maps and charts that will show the different classifications of land within each county. These classifications include land that is primarily urban, land that is expected to become urban within 10 years, land that is agricultural, land where small rural communities are located, and land that should be conserved because of its fragile nature or public ownership.

LAST CHANCE TO SAVE MONEY! Qj^S^TrrnintfSSSSnSpNSnißi^^E^EiijSH Many land-use plans will supplement land classification maps with land-use maps. These land-use maps will show more detail within each classification. They will be especially helpful in highly developed areas where new growth should be well-directed. This situation occurs in the beach towns and the large inland cities. T& insure that the planning effort will be as comprehensive as possible in the short time available, the Coastal Area Management Act offers three metods for towns and cities to participate in the land-use planning process. Towns that exercise zoning and subdivision controls and enforce the State Building Code are given authority to prepare their own land-use plans. The boards of county commissioners are permitted to offer other towns the right to produce their own plans or the county commissioners may extend to the towns the privilege of making recommendations for the county plans. In each of these three methods the act encourages cooperation between the towns and the counties in the planning process. One of the first official resolutions passed by the Coastal Resources Commisssion also pointed out the importance of cooperative BARE-FASHION SEASON BEAUTIFY with Pretty r Creams away rough, dry, flaky skin from feet, elbows, knees and hands. planning. The commissioners have recommended that county planning boards and city planning boards meet jointly several times during this year to iron out potential problems of conflicts between the needs of the county and the growth pattern of the city. Each county land-use plan will include every acre of land in the county.
