§ 4-1. General.

4-1.1. Design. All proposed subdivisions (residential, commercial, or other) shall comply with this article, be designed to promote beneficial development of the community, and bear a reasonable relationship to the approved plans of the county. The design of all utility, stormwater, street, recreation, and park improvements shall be reviewed and approved by the county staff, NCDOT, NCDENR, or the applicable service provider.

4-1.2. Development name. In no case shall the name of a proposed development duplicate or be phonetically similar to an existing development name in Carteret County unless the proposed development lies adjacent or in proximity to the existing development.

4-1.3. Reasonable relationship. All required improvements, easements, and rights-of-way (other than required reservations) shall substantially benefit the development or bear a reasonable connection to the need for public facilities attributable to the new development.

Whenever a tract to be subdivided includes or adjoins any part of a thoroughfare or collector road as designated by an officially adopted county thoroughfare plan, that part of such proposed public right-of-way shall be dedicated as public right-of-way within the subdivision plat in the location and to the width recommended by the thoroughfare plan or this article.
