Comprehensive Plan

The purpose of this report is to provide a range of comprehensive plan alternatives for the Town of Montreat, North Carolina. The plan should be viewed as a direction-setting document and the contents within are by no means the only possible solutions. Formulations of alternate futures are needed to address the effects of town growth. Therefore, a variety of possible town actions have been explored and presented for the community’s review. These actions have been established through identifying the strengths, weaknesses, opportunities, and threats. In particular, the plan addresses some of the most prominent concerns emphasized by community members, including inadequate parking, poor walkability, stormwater runoff, scenic ridge development, and environmental features. The plan serves as a starting point for the community to build an effective quality growth plan to meet town needs of the future while maintaining environmental conditions important to the community.
