CAMA Certified Comprehensive Land Use Plan Update
The City of Southport is excited to begin the process to update its CAMA-certified Comprehensive Land Use Plan. The updated plan will guide the City’s future development and include an updated Future Land Use Map. The plan will also include recommendations related to housing, economic development, infrastructure, resiliency, natural resources, recreation, and more. Read more about the contents of a Comprehensive Plan below.
View the draft schedule of the Comprehensive Plan Update below:
Comprehensive Plan Input Form
What is a Comprehensive Land Use Plan?
A comprehensive plan is a long-range roadmap for the future of a community, which examines and makes recommendations on a variety of planning activities such as land use, transportation, utilities, infrastructure, community facilities, housing, historic preservation, the environment, recreation, economic development, and more. It provides information about conditions, trends and issues in a community and identifies actions needed to address such issues.
A comprehensive plan is not a regulatory document on its own. Rather, it establishes goals and priorities that guide future growth and development. It also:
- Documents a community conversation: “Where are we at? Where would we like to be?”
- Provides a basis for decision-making, problem-solving and policy development by government officials,
- Establishes priorities for government projects, staff and services.
The Comprehensive CAMA Plan will provide guidance for a broad range of decisions made by Southport’s city government for approximately the next 20 years. The appointed Steering Committee is responsible for guiding the planning process over the course of approximately 12 months. The committee will meet a minimum of 6 times as a group and members are encouraged to gather input on various topics from their friends and colleagues.
Why make a Plan?
The Coastal Area Management Act (CAMA) requires each jurisdiction in the 20 coastal counties to have a local land use plan in accordance with guidelines established by the Coastal Resources Commission (CRC). With increasing threats related to sea level rise and storm threats, it is more important than ever to maintain a forward-thinking Plan. The current City of Southport CAMA Core Land Use Plan was adopted in 2014 and should be updated to reflect changes in the community, development trends, and resiliency standards. Additionally, the State of North Carolina has recently updated its General Statutes to require all cities that have zoning to maintain a current Comprehensive Plan. Southport’s current plan is not reflective of current trends and best practices and must be updated to meet these State requirements.
The new plan will combine both of these efforts, streamlining the City’s guidance into one document. The new Comprehensive CAMA Plan will be a modern resource for the City, reflecting current conditions and incorporating industry best practices.
What is the relationship between the Comprehensive Plan and Unified Development Ordinance?
The Comprehensive Plan lays the foundation for the Unified Development Ordinance, the legal tool for implementing the vision of the future contained in the plan. The plan contains recommendations for land use, housing, historic preservation, transportation, infrastructure, and other areas that are enforced in the City’s Unified Development Ordinance. The Comprehensive Plan does not automatically update the City’s Unified Development Ordinance. Updates to the Unified Development Ordinance are encouraged along with the City’s Capital Improvement Program to implement the vision, goals, and recommendations of the City’s CAMA and Comprehensive Land Use Plan.

All complaints must be made in writing so they may be investigated properly.
While many people think complaints can be handled with just one visit to the resident, please be aware that all complaints require due process, including registered mail and coordination with other departments. These steps take time, so complaints may not be resolved quickly.
Health/Sanitation Division
The Southport Code of Ordinances addresses health and sanitation matters in chapter 9 of the city code. The Code Enforcement Officer has several programs that coincide with health and sanitation matters.
The Board of Alderman of the City of Southport has vested the code enforcement officer the authority to enforce this chapter. Health and Sanitation violations bring safety concerns to the community due to the inhabitation of mice, rats, snakes, or vermin of any kind which is dangerous to the public. The City wants everyone to have a safe environment to live in and to be free from unnecessary health and sanitation matters.
The Code Enforcement officer can assist you with the following matters pertaining to health and sanitation concerns:
- Solid Waste Violations
- Weed Control/Overgrown Lots
- Abandon/Junked Motor Vehicles
- Spring & Fall Clean-ups
Solid Waste Division
Section 15 of the Southport Code of Ordinances deals specifically with Solid Waste. The Code Enforcement Officer has enforcement rights of this code.
The City of Southport no longer picks up garbage or yard debris. A County-wide contract is held with Waste Industries Inc. Any refuse placed in front of a residence will result in a citation with a fine. Arrangements must be made with Waste Industries Inc for particular pickup of white goods, brown goods, or large amounts of yard debris.
Illegal dumpsites in the City are being monitored by the Code Enforcement Officer and the Southport Police Department. Violators will be prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law. Any information regarding illegal dumping or solid waste violations may call the code enforcement officer at 910-713-3862.

Rights-of-Way FAQs
How is the Rights-of-Way (ROW) defined?

What is the purpose of the ROW amendment?
This amendment is to ensure that the city can adequately reclaim city property to ensure that the ROWs is being utilized in a manner that they are designed for such as providing adequate traffic & pedestrian use, parking allotment, and access for emergency vehicles.
What is allowed in the ROW?
Vegetative landscaping, permeable pavers that are two (2)” or less from grade, turf grass, existing parking pads, and 57 Granite Driveway Stone are allowed in the ROW.
What is NOT allowed in the ROW?
Hardscapes in any form. These include but are not limited to fences, trellises, pagodas, walls, planter boxes, signs, outdoor furniture, bird baths, landscape masonry and or stones, and any parking buffers that exceed two (2)” above grade.

Community Preparedness
Flood Information
What is the National Flood Insurance Program?
The National Flood Insurance Program was created by Congress in 1968 to reduce the loss of life and property, and the rising disaster relief costs caused by flooding. The program was designed to achieve these goals by: 1) requiring that new and future substantially improved buildings be constructed to resist flood damages; 2) guiding future development away from flood hazard areas; and 3) transferring the costs of flood losses from the American taxpayers to floodplain property owners through flood insurance premiums. In recent decades, over 80 percent of disaster losses nationwide have been caused by floods.
The NFIP is a voluntary program based on a mutual agreement between the federal government and the local community. Federally-backed flood insurance coverage is available to any property owner in return for mitigation of flood risks by community regulation of floodplain development. Flood insurance, and most types of federal financial assistance, such as mortgage loans and grants, are only available in those communities that adopt and enforce a floodplain management ordinance that meets or exceeds the minimum NFIP standards. These same standards must also be adhered to by all federal agencies under a Presidential Floodplain Management Executive Order.
Flood Maps
The updated Preliminary Flood Insurance Rate Maps were issued for Southport. The floodplain data are now being provided in digital format so they can be viewed and downloaded from the NC Floodplain Mapping Program (NCFMP)’s website. You can see the current and preliminary flood maps here https://fris.nc.gov/fris/
Historic Preservation Commission
When a local government decides to provide for the preservation of the historical, cultural, or archaeological resources within its jurisdiction, it can pass an ordinance to create a historic preservation commission. Members of a preservation commission are selected by the local governing board from the general public. A majority of the members must demonstrate a special interest in history, architecture, archaeology, or related fields.
Planning Board
A Citizens Advisory Board
The Planning & Zoning Board is appointed by the Board of Aldermen and serves as an advisory body to the Board on issues that come before it.
Board of Adjustment
A Quasi-Judicial Citizens Board
The Zoning Board Of Adjustments is a “quasi-judicial” administrative body that performs the following duty: to hear and decide appeals from; and to review and order requirements, decisions, or determinations made by the Zoning Administrator or Building Inspector. The Board’s function is that of granting variances and conditional use permits.

SOUTHPORT MULTIMODAL PROJECT ACCELERATION PLAN
The City of Southport was selected by the North Carolina Department of Transportation (NCDOT) Integrated Mobility Division (IMD) to receive a multimodal Project Acceleration Plan (see Figure 1 for study area). These plans are designed to identify key multimodal projects and outline clear steps for implementation, ultimately supporting more walkable and bikeable communities. In Southport, recent planning efforts have identified transportation challenges and recommended projects such as sidewalks, bike lanes, and shared use paths. By organizing and prioritizing these projects—as well as identifying any gaps, the plan strengthens Southport’s readiness for funding and implementation. It also offers an opportunity to develop a Southport-specific strategy that ensures previously identified needs are addressed and community goals continue to move forward.
Figure 1: Study area
WHAT ARE THE GOALS FOR THE PROJECT ACCELERATION PLAN?
The plan has the following key goals:
- Support public health and safety by encouraging active transportation
- Engage the community on proposed projects and build support for project implementation
- Prioritize projects to move forward to funding
- Identify funding sources and partnerships for implementation
WHAT WILL BE THE RESULTS OF THE PLAN?
This plan will result in a final report with the following components:
- Recommended project inventory organized by category, with cost estimates
- Prioritized list and maps of short-term and long-term multimodal improvements
- Project cut sheets
- Implementation plan
