- Abstract
- The 1974 session of the General Assembly enacted two major pieces of legislation which suggest North Carolina has made a significant commitment to land use planning - the Coastal Area Management Act and the Land Policy Act. The commitment expressed in the coastal legislation is relatively firm and effects of the Act are already beginning to emerge as the Coastal Resources Commission moves ahead with implementation. The Land Policy Act, while perhaps more comprehensive in scope than the coastal legislation, carries no direct powers of implementation. Its purpose is to develop land use policy recommendations. Implementation will depend on future action by the Governor, the legislature, and local governments. Impacts of the Act have not yet been felt nor its long range potential widely recognized because it is over a year away from implementation. This, however, does not decrease the need for citizens and public officials interested in land use to be aware of the Act's provisions and to be afforded opportunities for input into the activities of the North Carolina Land Policy Council.
