IntroductionSECTION 1.1: MANUAL OVERVIEW1. INTRODUCTION1.1. MANUAL OVERVIEWThe <strong>Currituck</strong> <strong>County</strong> development review process is established by the Board of Commissioners toprovide a framework that allows reasonable oversight by county staff and officials while ensuringdevelopment projects are consistent with the Unified Development Ordinance and adopted plans.This process provides an opportunity to not only protect the public health, safety, and welfare;but also allows the county to coordinate development impacts with the provision of services.To help consolidate the development process and promote efficiency, the Board of Commissionershas established this administrative manual as an aid for citizens, public officials, engineers, anddevelopers. The manual includes information on review processes, submittal procedures, anddesign/review requirements. The basic intent of this manual is to consolidate the zoning reviewand decision making processes outlined in the Unified Development Ordinance in an easy to useand understandable document.While the administrative manual is not an ordinance, it is adopted by resolution of the Board ofCommissioners and incorporated by reference within the Unified Development Ordinance. Thisallows the procedures outlined in the manual to be applied flexibly and remain reflective ofchanging economic and environmental conditions. If the Administrator determines the manualneeds to be amended, notice of any such change will be provided via the county website andelectronic mailing lists maintained by the Planning and Community Development Department.Applicants are reminded this manual does not serve as a substitute for any of <strong>Currituck</strong> <strong>County</strong>’sadopted ordinances or plans and is intended only as a guide to the users of the <strong>Currituck</strong> <strong>County</strong>Unified Development Ordinance. In case of conflict between this document and other countyordinances, the adopted county ordinances shall control.A digital version of this manual is available online at the Planning and Community DevelopmentDepartment’s webpage at:http://www.co.currituck.nc.us/planning-community-development.cfm<strong>Administrative</strong> <strong>Manual</strong>Page 1.1

APPLICATION FORCAMA MINORDEVELOPMENTPERMITIn 1974, the North Carolina General Assembly passed the Coastal Area Management Act (CAMA) andset the stage for guiding development in fragile and productive areas that border the state’s soundsand oceanfront. Along with requiring special care by those who build and develop, the GeneralAssembly directed the Coastal Resources Commission (CRC) to implement clear regulations thatminimize the burden on the applicant.This application for a minor development permit under CAMA is part of the Commission’s effort tomeet the spirit and intent of the General Assembly. It has been designed to be straightforward andrequire no more time or effort than necessary from the applicant. Please go over this folder with theLocal Permit Officer (LPO) for the locality in which you plan to build to be certain that you understandwhat information he or she needs before you apply.Under CAMA regulations, the minor permit is to be issued within 25 days once a complete applicationis in hand. Often less time is needed if the project is simple. The process generally takes about 18days. You can speed the approval process by making certain that your application is complete andsigned, that your drawing meets the specifications given inside and that your application fee isattached.Other permits are sometimes required for development in the coastal area. While these are not CAMArelated,we urge you to check with the Local Permit Officer to determine which of these you mayneed. A list is included on page two of this folder.We appreciate your cooperation with the North Carolina Coastal Management Program and yourwillingness to build in a way that protects the resources of our beautiful and productive coast.Coastal Resources CommissionDivision of Coastal Management<strong>Administrative</strong> <strong>Manual</strong>Page 2.49CAMA Minor ApplicationPage 5 of 10

Relevant Factors for Issuance of a VarianceA variance may be granted by the Board of Adjustment if it concludes that strict enforcement of theordinance would result in practical difficulties or unnecessary hardships for the applicant and that, bygranting the variance, the spirit of the ordinance will be observed, public safety and welfare secured,and substantial justice done. It may reach these conclusions if it makes detailed written findings that:A. Strict compliance with the provisions of the Ordinance results in no reasonable use of the land. (It isnot sufficient that failure to grant the variance simply makes the property less valuable. Ordinarily some physical problempreventing development of the property in an authorized manner should be shown).B. The alleged hardship is suffered by the applicant as a result of the application of the Ordinance.(Variances can not be granted if the hardship is the result of restrictions other than those of the ordinance; restrictivecovenants are an example).C. The hardship is unique, or nearly so, rather than personal circumstances. (Hardships suffered by theapplicant should relate to the applicant’s land and not result from the ordinance regulations).D. The hardship is unique, or nearly so, rather than one shared by many surrounding properties.(Hardships suffered by the applicant in common with neighbors does not justify a variance, the proper remedy is not avariance, but rather an amendment of the ordinance. Courts have held that a board’s granting a variance based on suchfactors amounts to an attempted usurpation of legislative power).E. The hardship is not the result of the applicant’s own actions. (Where a property owner has either knowlinglyor unknowingly violated the ordinance by erecting a forbidden structure, he/she cannot cite expenses as a hardship,otherwise no one would ever comply with the ordinance. Similarly, when a person buys property and certain restrictionsexist, he/she cannot be said to suffer hardship if those restrictions are enforced; such hardship would be self imposed)._______<strong>Administrative</strong> <strong>Manual</strong>Page 2.146Variance ApplicationPage 4 of 7
