*Why CAMA and Comprehensive Land Use Plan? Coastal communities are subject to the Coastal Area Management Act, which requires that all localities adopt a land-use plan which meets certain guidelines established by the Coastal Resources Commission. As of June 2020, North Carolina General Statutes require that all localities must have a Comprehensive Plan. This plan will satisfy the requirements of both CAMA and NCGS 160D.
