SECTION .0500 ‑ LOCAL IMPLEMENTATION AND ENFORCEMENT
PLANS
15A NCAC 07I .0501 PURPOSE
The Coastal Area Management Act authorizes, but does not
require, a city or county in the coastal area to act as a permit‑letting
agency for minor development permits in areas of environmental concern. These
Rules establish the criteria for preparation of local implementation and
enforcement plans by local governments. Before a local government can become a
permit‑letting agency, a plan consistent with these criteria must be
submitted to the Coastal Resources Commission for approval. These criteria are
provided to assist local government in:
(1) establishing procedures to be followed in
developing local implementation and enforcement programs;
(2) establishing the scope and coverage of said
programs;
(3) establishing minimum standards to be prescribed in
said programs;
(4) establishing staffing requirements of permit‑letting
agencies;
(5) establishing permit‑letting procedures;
(6) establishing priorities of regional and statewide
concern;
(7) establishing that the program is consistent with
the land use plan.
