the establishment of new compliant activities for disturbances greater than one acre, andpermit fee increases to offset administrative costs.In addition to the County’s planning jurisdiction, Pitt County enforces the SESC Ordinancewithin the Towns of Ayden, Falkland, Grimesland, and Winterville, and the Village ofSimpson.Stormwater Management OrdinanceThe Stormwater Ordinance, which became effective in October 2004, sets standards forstormwater management. The ordinance seeks to achieve a 30% reduction, relative to predevelopmentlevels, in nitrogen loading and to limit phosphorus loading to predevelopmentlevels. The ordinance also requires control of peak stormwater flows toensure that nutrient processing functions of existing riparian buffers and streams are notcompromised by channel erosion associated with new development. In general, theordinance applies to any development greater than one acre in size.Subdivision OrdinanceSubdivision regulations control the division of land into parcels for the purpose of buildingdevelopment or sale. The regulations require that subdivision plans be approved prior tothe sale of land. Subdivision regulations are a more limited tool than zoning and onlyindirectly affect the type of use made of land or minimum specifications for structures.The Subdivision Ordinance provides for orderly growth and development by settingstandards for street construction, interconnecting street systems, and for otherimprovements that ensure the appropriate design and layout of new development. Theseregulations also serve to protect natural features and resources by not allowing or reducingdevelopment within sensitive environmental areas. Pitt County subdivision regulations arecurrently enforced within the County planning jurisdiction, the Towns of Falkland andGrimesland, and the Village of Simpson.Water Supply Watershed Protection OrdinanceThe Water Supply Watershed Act of 1989 instituted a statewide program to protectdrinking water supply watersheds from inappropriate development. The intent of theprogram was to protect the quality of surface water supplies from non-point sourcepollution, and to minimize stormwater runoff by regulating development densities and theamount of built-upon area within the critical and protected areas of affected watersheds.The ordinance applies within the areas designated by the North Carolina EnvironmentalManagement Commission as the critical or protected area of a surface water supplywatershed and as shown on the official watershed map for Pitt County. The Tar RiverWatershed, generally located in the northwest quadrant of the County, has been classifiedas WS-IV. The ordinance provides for the continuation of existing uses and thereconstruction of buildings and built-upon areas, and prohibits specific uses such as landfillsand storage of toxic and hazardous materials within critical and protected areas. Theordinance also establishes development restrictions for different types of streets systems(with and without curb and gutter).2030 Comprehensive Land Use Plan Appendix A: Inventory and AnalysisPitt County, North Carolina A-50

Currently, Pitt County enforces the water supply watershed protectionordinance within the County planning jurisdiction and the planning jurisdiction of the Townof Falkland.2030 Comprehensive Land Use Plan Appendix A: Inventory and AnalysisPitt County, North Carolina A-51
