Boiling Spring Lakes, North Carolina Land Use Plan and Policies for Growth and Development. 1987 Update

摘要

The City of Boiling Spring Lakes was established in th late 1950s as primarily a planned, low density residential retirement community. Growth was fairly modest during the decade of the 1960s, but escalated dramatically during the 1970s. Since 1980, the growth rate of the City has been roughly equivalent to that of Brunswick County, and continues at a relatively brisk pace. The intent of the Land Use Plan is to anticipate and plan for future growth, in a manner which helps protect the existing quality of life of area residents and avoids unreasonable increases in the local tax burden. The NC General Assembly recognized these issues when it passed the Coastal Area Management Act of 1974, which requires coastal local governments to develop Land Use Plans and update them every five years. The first Land Use Plan for the City of Boiling Spring Lakes was adopted in 1983; this 1987 Update primarily refines the 1983 Plan and Policies to reflect current conditions in the City.
