Abstract
  • Short planning reports. Includes: PUBLIC PARTICIPATION IN PLANNING FOR A MULTI-COUNTY REGION: The Triangle J Council of Governments is the reqional planning agency which serves the six counties surroundinq the Research Trianqle Park of North Carolina. Since 1974, the Council has had a standing committee on land use. In 1982, the Land Use Committee was empowered to desiqn a comprehensive plan for the undeveloped areas between Durham and Raleigh -- including the Research Triangle Park. To elicit public input, the committee planned a series of public forums. The series was named "Horizons UNlimited." The first forum was held in March, 1983. It was attended by 250 people representing a broad cross-section of the population -- environmentalists, developers, state and local elected officials and staff, and other special interests. Participants were assigned to discussion groups, each with a "facilitator" and a reporter. The groups were asked to identify the primary issues confronting the region. CARRYING CAPACITY STUDIES FOR NORTH CAROLINA'S OUTER BANKS: In the Spring of 1983, the Currituck County Board of Commissioners contracted thirteen graduate students from the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill's Department of City and Regional Planning to study the carrying capacity of Currituck's Outer Banks. This study measured the extent to which existing natural and man-made systems could absorb new structural development, hurricane impacts, road expansions, new wastewater treatment and water supply demands. The study is intended to serve as a framework for Currituck County's growth management strategy.
