While Land Use Plans are not regulatory documents, these plans assist staff, the Planning Board, the Board of Adjustment and the Board of Commissioners in the decision-making processes of issuing permits and considering changes to ordinances including the zoning map (rezoning decisions). 

Currently, the Comprehensive Plan/CAMA Core Land Use Plan is the adopted plan for all of the county planning jurisdiction.  The Sneads Ferry Community Plan is a small-area plan adopted for the Sneads Ferry Community.  Other small area plans will be highlighted in this section of the website. 

The Onslow County Transportation Plan is currently being developed in conjunction with NCDOT and the Eastern Carolina Council.  This plan should be available in the Spring of 2017.
