Abstract:

Green discusses the innovative zoning plan developed for the city of Wanchese, a tiny community on the southernmost end of Roanoke Island. The plan includes twelve zoning districts that feature traditional village businesses, horse farms, and waterfront fish houses. For example, the Wanchese Wharf Marine Commercial Zone allows for boatyards, offices, schools, taxidermy, and marine businesses, whereas the Baumtown Traditional Zone permits mobile and single-family homes, as well as farming, waterfowl, poultry, and greenhouses.
