PLAN UPDATING The Land Use Plan should be reviewed periodically, 'and revised to reflect any changes in life style or environmental or economic pressures. Such updating could possibly best be handled by a continuation of the organizational structure used for the prepara- tion of this plan. This would include the coopera- tive efforts of the Mayor and City Council, Planning Board, Citizen's Advisory Committee and Technical Advisory Committee --- with administrative coordina- tion from the City Manager and staff support from the City Engineer. DISTRIBUTION OF SYNOPSIS In order to help the general public better under- stand the nature of, and the need for a Land Use Plan, a method for widespread distribution of the Synopsis is required. One of the most effective means for achieving this would be a one or two page spread in the local newspaper, to be delivered with the issue of widest circulation. If this is not feasible, other methods which could be considered would be to print several thousand copies, and then distribute them; ..from City government buildings .,to the school population, for use at school and to take home for parents to review. ..by mail, especially if such would be coordinated with utility bill mailing. as an insert in the local newspaper for City distribution. 2-9 3-1 Chapter- III: STATEMENT OF LOCAL LAND USE ISSUES, OBJECTI'VES AND POLICIES INTRODUCTION The purpose of this chapter will be to establish additional assistance.or arranged for special a framework for the land use plan in terms of: meetings.

Such information will be helpful in preparing the land classification map of Chapter VII, and the areas of environmental concern in Chapter VIII. The constraints are divided into two groups; those related to undeveloped land, and those related to the capacity of community facilities. The outline of these two groupings is shown below: ... Undeveloped Land Suitability and Potential: Analyze the general suitability of undeveloped land to accommodate new growth, with consideration given to; _Physical Limitations for Development: Areas likely to have conditions making development costly or causing undesirable consequences, such as: ... Hazard Areas, including: Man-Made Hazards: Such as airports, tank farms for storing flammable liquids, etc. ... Natural Hazards: Such as ocean erosive areas, estuarine erosive areas, and flood hazard areas (flood plains and floodways). ... Areas with-Soil Limitations: Such as areas presenting hazards for foundations, shallow soils, poorly drained soils, septic tank and other development related facilities. ... Sources of Water Supply: Including ground- water recharge areas (bedrock and surficial), public water supply watersheds, and well- fields. ... Steep Slope Areas: Those exceeding 12 per- cent slopes. Areas: Areas which could be damaged or destroyed by inappropriate or poor develop- ment, including: ... Wetlands, frontal dunes, beaches, prime wildlife habitat, scenic and prominent high points, unique natural areas, estuarine waters, and other surface waters, rivers, lakes, or streams. ... Resource Potential Areas: Including archeo- logical and historic sites, productive and unique agricultural lands, potentially valuable mineral sites, public-owned forests and parks, and private-owned wildlife sanctuaries. Capacity of Community Facilities: Including existing water and sewer service areas; design capacity of existing water treatment plant, sewage treatment plant, schools, and primary roads; and percentage of present utilization of those facil- ities.

However, because of residential and commercial growth in certain areas of the City, the existing water lines are not capable of delivering sufficient fire flow as discussed pre- viously. A major problem is head loss in the 6-inch and smaller lines. The required residual pressure in the lines is 20 psi. Due to flat topography, the only head available is from the elevated storage tanks. The static head on the distribution system is approximately 50 psi or 111 feet of water, There- fore, head loss in the pipes must be limited to 30 psi or 69 feet of water. In a 6-inch pipe, a flow of 1,000 gpm will have a resulting head loss of 12.1 feet of water per 100 feet of pipe. Therefore, 6-inch pipes longer than 570 feet should be eliminated. To strengthen the di stribution system and to cor- rect the areas with deficiencies in fire flow, it was recommended that a loop system of 12-inch water lines be constructed throughout the City. The interior sections of the 12-inch loops were strengthen- ed by using 8-inch feeder-lines and short sections of 6-inch line along some of the existing 2-inch lines. The 8-incb interior lines are the major feeder lines between the main 12-iach arteries. The 6-inch lines extend along streets which now have only 2-inch lines and needed fire hydrants. It should be noted that some of the new lines ex- tended beyond the City limits of Jacksonville. These lines were proposed to provide a "full-loop" system of distribution,- It was not proposed that all out- lying lines be constructed at present, but used for future construction as the City grows. The only major lines outside of the City that were pro- posed for construction at this time were the supply lines from the new well field and the 12-inch line along Western Boulevard to Gum Branch Road. The latter was necessary to supply the proposed storage tank on Ellis Boulevard and to provide the necessary fire flow for Parkwood Elementary School. The North Carolina Fire Insurance Rating Bureau has also established requirements for the maximum spacing of lire hydrants on a municipal water dis- tribution sy'sttm,-'recommending that a City the size of Jacksonville space fire hydrants not farther than 800 feet apart in residential districts, and not farther than 300 feet apart in school, hospital, shopping centers and business districts. In order to comply with these requirements, it was proposed to install approximately 30 new fire hydrants throughout the City. The plan proposals, and the existing system, are shown by Exhibit 5.13m. 5-13 5-14 Exhibit 5.13m: City of Jacksonville-Water Supply System And Service Area LEGEND .12' OR 16' AATER MAIN PROPZ PROPOSED tf'.B"OR 10' ATER MAIN PROPOSED FIRE HYDPAN7 EXISTING ;2"ORIC@A-,EQ MAIN :1 Jil EXISTIN3 S".

An inquiry to the N.C.

That does not mean that there are no important buildings in that area, but rather that we have not yet inven- toried that part of the county. If we find prop- erties which meet the criteria of the National Register, approval to nominate will be requested from the North Carolina Historical Commission. Because this commission meets twice each year, the list of properties under category #1 is expanded semi-annually. Should any properties in the Jacksonville area be approved by the Historical A Commission at their Fall meeting, I will let you know.

DESI GN CAPACITY Design capacity will be discussed for the water treatment plant, sewage treatment plant, schools, and primary roads. Water Treatment Plant Capacity In 1972, the capacity of the Jacksonville water supply system was 2.15 mgd. At that time, the 2.15 mgd was not adequate to meet the demands for the peak day and also meet the fire flow requirements of the N.C. Fire Insurance Rating Bureau. Proposals were developed in the same year to in- crease the capacity immediately to 4.11 mgd in order to service 21,900 people by 1992. A secondary ex- pansion also was proposed, going to 4.55 mgd, in ordel to accommodate an estimated 25,000 people by 2000. If additional capacity should be needed, it is felt that the newest well field could absorb additional wells. The 4.11 mgd expansion is almost completed, and the present utilization of that capacity is about 50 per cent. Sewage Treatment Plant Capacity The City of Jacksonville is served by two waste treatment facilities: an oxidation lagoon facility and a trickling filter facility. - - - - T Fh TIE"etter from omas C.

Capacity A relatively good indication of the adequacy of the existing street system is a comparison of traffic volumes with the ability of the streets to move traffic. In an urban area, a street's ability to move traffic is generally controlled by intersection capacity. Capacity is defined as the maximum number of vehicles which has a reasonable expectation of passing over a given section of a lane or a roadway in one direction, or in both directions for a two- lane or a three-lane highway, during a given time period under prevailing roadway and traffic conditions.

The chapter sections will include: ..... Population Projections ...... Future Economy ..... Future Land Needs ..... Future Community Facilities Need The cost implications of Jacksonville's potential growth should be.fully understood by local officials and citizens, for any new growth will definitely require an expansion bf community facilities and public services. Some of the needed improvements will be fully, or partially, paid for by local developers or by State and/or Federal funds. Other costs, however, for continuing public services and certain capital construction needs, will be a local government respon- sibility. Taxes from new development will pay for some portion of the added costs, but no assurance can be given that this will be sufficient to cover all additional costs. 6-1 6-2 POPULATION PROJECTIONS fter the years, estimates of the future population for Jacksonville, and larger areas, have been made by several agencies. Each of these will be reviewed In order to provide background for making future projec- tions as part of this report.

JACKSONVILLE IMPLICATIONS It is probable that the majority of Onslow County's employment growth will occur in and around the City of Jacksonville. The extent to which it occurs within the City will depend primarily on the City's annexa- tion policies. Exhibit 6.11t: 1970-2000 Employment Changes for Onslow County and N.C.

Some of these facilities would include: ..Public activity areas, such as ... schools ... parks ... fire stations ..Energy supply, such as ... water ...electricity ..Waste disposal, for ... storm water ... sewage ... solid waste ..Transportation system, including ... walkways ...bikeways ... highways and streets To the extent that the City's growth comes from annexation of developed land, some of the above facilities may already be installed. In other cases and especially for newly developed land, the City an others would be responsible for acquisition and con- struction, or meeting the needs from unused capacity of existing facil ities. SCHOOLS, PARKS, AND FIRE STATIONS The Onslow County Board of Education would be responsible for meeting the pubjic_sc@ool [email protected] of any population growth. Powever, there is a distinct possibility that total population growth will not necessarily mean a proportionate increase in school enrollment. For instance, between 1970 and 1975 the county school enrollment changed very little although there was an estimated 12,000 (or 12 per cent) increase in the total county population. The School Board's en- rollment projections to 1980 reflect no appreciable increase in total, although some minor shifts occur by grade level. If events should turn out differently and a size- able student increase did occur, the School Board would have to add to existing schools, or consider new construction, since they report all presently available space is being utilized. TheRa@rk@peeLds-of an added population would have to be. met by the City and its Parks Department * To accommodate annother 13,000 people by 1985, the City's park land should be increased by 130 acres.

This classification is intended to assist in providing cooperation and coordination between the three levels (federal, state, and local) of govern- ment by: ..l._Encouraging consistency and coordination between local land use policies and those of the State of North Carolina. ..2,Providing a guide for public investment in land, by assisting local and State govern- ment to know in advance the need for parks, schools, highways, etc. ..3. Serving as a framework for budgeting and planning for the construction of community facilities. in better coordination of regulatory policies and decisions. ..5. Helping to provide guidance for a more equitable distribution of the land tax burden. The land classification map is intended to be up- dated at least every five years. The classification for Jacksonville is described on the following pages. 7-1 7-2 JACKSONVILLE CLASSIFICATION The classification scheme for the City of Jack- quiring major public services. it includes: sonville is shown by Exhibit 7.1m, and is further described in the remainder of this chapter. ..Exist ng clusters of one or more land uses s h ia_ uc as a rural residential subdivision or a church, school, general, store, industry, etc. DEVELOPED CLASS **New rural Rrowth when the lot size is ten acres Land classified as developed must have an ex- or less.

PLAYGROUNDS Ratings apply to areas to be used for playgrounds, athletic fields, and organized games such as bad- minton and volleyball. All areas are subject to heavy foot traffic. The assumption is made that good vegetative cover can be established and maintained. The best soils for playgrounds have a nearly level surface free of coarse fragments and rock outcrops, good drainage, freedom from flooding, and a surface texture that is firm even after rains and is not dusty when dry. LOCAL ROADS AND STREETS Local roads and streets, as rated in the interpre- tation sheet, have an all-weather surface expected to carry automobile traffic all year. They have a subgrade of underlying soil material; a base con- sisting of gravel, crushed rock, or soil material stabilized with lime or cement; and a flexible or rigid surface, commonly asphalt or concrete. These roads are graded to shed water and have ordinary provisions for drainage. They are built mainly from soil at hand, and most cuts and fills are less than six feet deep. Soil properties that most affect design and con- truction of roads and streets are load supporting capacity and stability of the subgrade, and the work- s ability and quantity of cut and fill material avail- able. The AASHO and Unified classifications of the soil material, and also the shrink-swell potential, indicate load supporting capacity. Wetness and flood- ing affect ease of excavation and amount of cut and fill needed to reach an even grade. SEPTIC TANK FILTER FIELDS Septic tank filter fields are subsurface systems of tile or perforated pipe that distribute effluent from a septic tank into natural soil. The soil material from a depth of 18 inches to 6 feet is evaluated. The soil properties considered are those that affect both absorption of effluent and construction and oper- ation of the system. Properties that affect absorp- tion are permeability, depth to water table or rock, and susceptibility to flooding. Slope is a soil property that affects difficulty of layout and construction and also the risk of soil erosion, lateral seepage, and downslope flow of effluent. Large rocks or boulders increase construction costs.

B-8 B-9 data had been completed. Generally, the land uses with the smallest amount of land area in the district were measured first, and those with the largest areas left until last. Each land use was delineated in the appropriate color on the mylar film to insure no areas were overlooked. When a large number of separated, but similar land uses occurred within a district, they were colored on the mylar and then copied onto tracing paper with ma tched sides abutting. This provided a singular,al- tho irregular in shape, mass to planimeter. For large parcels the 10.93 acre grid was used whenever possible to reduce the need for planimetering. The final detailed land use tabulations for the Planning Areai the City of Jacksonville, and the Area Outside Jacksonville are shown by Exhibits B.7t, B.8t, and B.9t.
