Executive Summary
Envision a community that is safe, clean and attractive, offers quality housing, ample recreational
opportunities and convenient access to shopping, services and jobs. These desirable qualities are
the vision of the NorthSide community. The NorthSide community is the northern gateway to
Wilmington’s historic downtown neighborhoods and central business district. The continued
vitality of this community is important to the neighborhood residents, as well as to the overall
city. This awareness inspired interested citizens, with the support of the City of Wilmington, to
create the NorthSide Community Plan—a neighborhood revitalization strategy that envisions the
successful future of this community.
The Plan identifies the current conditions and issues that residents and property owners wish to
improve upon. It also addresses opportunities created by the Martin Luther King, Jr. Parkway
connection into this area by the year 2005. Developed by a diverse group of citizens including
community residents, business people, church leaders and other interested parties, the NorthSide
Community Plan focuses on specific goals and the necessary steps to achieve them. The Plan
includes short-term goals that can be more immediately achieved, as well as long-term goals that
can be accomplished over time.
The NorthSide Community Plan process was guided by a citizen steering committee. The
development of the Plan included identification of common concerns and the creation of goals,
objectives, and action steps needed to make the community’s vision a reality. Community
meetings were held as a forum to allow the stakeholders to come to an agreement on how to make
their neighborhoods better. Based on the community’s input, the following common themes
provide the foundation of the Plan:
•
Crime Prevention
•
•
•
Housing
•
•
Transportation
In addition to the community-wide meetings, numerous smaller citizen group meetings were held
to form the goals, objectives and action steps for each theme in the Plan. Each action step
identifies a specific task and the means to accomplish it. Citizens expressed their desire for a
local grocery store and a community resource facility that supports recreation, education,
vocation, and rehabilitation activities and provides community meeting space. Public/private
partnerships will be a strong component in the realization of these projects, as well as many
others in the Plan.
The NorthSide Neighborhood Association, which was created as a result of this planning process,
is the key player in the success of the Plan. A major role of the Association will be to facilitate
continued communication and cooperation among stakeholders and to help form the necessary
partnerships. This community-based planning process has been an opportunity for residents and
property owners in the NorthSide to come together to share their ideas and vision of what they
want to see in their community in the future. The NorthSide Community Plan reflects their desire
to create a “better tomorrow” for their community.

Introduction
Plan Basics
The NorthSide Community Plan is a long-range neighborhood revitalization plan
consisting of goals, objectives and action steps for the community’s future. This
partnership between the NorthSide and the City of Wilmington is the result of more
than a year of hard work and perseverance by the NorthSide Steering Committee,
residents, business people, elected officials and City staff.
Plan Boundary
The plan area is bounded by Smith Creek to the north, Burnt Mill Creek and N. 17th
Street to the east, Market Street to the south and the Cape Fear River to the west.
Residents agreed to this boundary at the first community-wide meeting. See Appendix
A for the Plan boundary map.
Why Create a Plan?
The NorthSide Community Plan process was initiated by City Council in the spring of
2002, primarily in response to the impact the connection of Martin Luther King, Jr.
Parkway (MLK) will have on the north side of downtown when completed in 2005.
Vehicle trips per day will nearly double from 13,000 to 24,000. Fifteen years later, in
2020, it is projected that the numbers will nearly double again to 42,000 vehicle trips
per day. That is more than three times the number of cars traveling in the area today.
The MLK Parkway connection will inevitably change the landscape of the north side of
downtown.

The planning process is an opportunity for residents, property owners and business
owners to jointly discuss current issues and the future of their community. The
NorthSide Community Plan is a blueprint for action. By setting goals, objectives and
action steps, the community created a single vision and identified the steps needed to
achieve this vision. This plan organizes the community’s ideas into a single document
that can be shared with residents, potential community partners, investors and elected
officials. The community has developed this plan in preparation for their successful
future.

Planning Area Basics
The NorthSide community consists of inner-city neighborhoods that have not realized
the same economic growth that other areas in the City have experienced. The
neighborhoods include Brooklyn, Hemenway, Love Grove, and a portion of Carolina
Heights. The oldest public housing development in North Carolina, Robert Taylor
Homes, is located within the community. Most of the area of NorthSide that is west of
N. 8th Street and south of Harnett Street has been recognized as historically significant
by the State Historic Preservation Office and the National Park Service and is within
the Wilmington National Register Historic District. This area is architecturally and
historically significant for Wilmington because it depicts the character of a midnineteenth to early twentieth-century neighborhood that was home to factory, dock and
railroad workers. The terminus of the Wilmington and Weldon Railroad established in
1838 was at that time the nucleus of development on the north side of the city’s central
business district. The railroad tracks, which run from southwest to northeast through
the area, are still present but not being utilized and create both obstacles and
opportunities for the community.
Demographics and Land Use Analysis
Demographics are a collection of information that describes the people of a
community. This information includes population, income and descriptions of
housing. Such data indicates the “health” of a community. Is it growing in terms of
people, or are people leaving? Do these citizens have a better quality of life than in the
previous ten years? Major “quality of life” indicators such as housing status, income
and poverty status were investigated by City staff for the NorthSide community.
Several tables of information and a brief summary of each are contained in the
following pages.
Table 1 contains population data from both the 1990 and the 2000 U.S. Census. The
population change in the NorthSide is compared to the City Proper, New Hanover
County and the State of North Carolina. The NorthSide community has grown at a
much slower rate, 0.65% annual growth, than other communities.

Table 2, Median Household Income, and Table 3, Poverty Status, gives us information
on the financial status of community residents. NorthSide residents increased their
household income by 89.68% from 1990 to 2000. While this represents a substantial
improvement, NorthSide household incomes are 30% of household incomes as a whole
in the City. Poverty Status, Table 3, contains the most telling information since the
percentage of families living below poverty level in the NorthSide did not decrease
over the 10-year period but instead increased slightly. More than one-third of families
in the NorthSide live in poverty.

The above data indicates that the quality of life for NorthSide residents is declining.
This is shown by slow population growth and economic and housing statistics that are
losing ground to the surrounding community.

Community-Based Planning Process
The NorthSide Community Plan process informally began in February 2002 at a Town
Hall meeting at Warner Temple AME Zion Church on Nixon Street. City Council and
City officials learned of the various needs and concerns that residents had for their
community. This led to the formation of a NorthSide Citizen Advisory Group.
Citizen Advisory Group – The Citizen Advisory Group met once in March and once in
April at City Hall to further discuss issues in the community. The March meeting
included a bus tour of the NorthSide neighborhoods. The group consisted of
approximately 40 community leaders, business leaders and concerned citizens. In May
2002 City Council directed City staff to continue the process and develop a NorthSide
Community Plan to guide the future of the NorthSide neighborhoods.
Ground Rules Committee – Citizen Advisory Group participants created a Ground
Rules Committee in May 2002 to develop a structure for the long-term management of
the NorthSide Community Plan process. The group of residents, citizens and business
leaders identified ground rules for City Council, the City Planning Division and a
NorthSide Steering Committee. The committee recommended a list of more than 30
candidates to be recruited as members of the NorthSide Steering Committee. The
group agreed that at least two-thirds of the members should be NorthSide residents.
This ensured that NorthSide residents, business owners, church leaders, developers,
community activists and service providers were represented on the committee. The
committee recruited ten NorthSide Steering Committee members in June 2002 as
described below.
NorthSide Steering Committee – The committee is made up of key leaders
representative of the community. The committee consists of eight residents and
business owners from the NorthSide, the Chairman of the Planning Commission and a
former resident of the NorthSide. The committee was formed to coordinate and guide
the planning process with City staff and to keep it on track toward City Council
adoption. The ten-member group first met in June 2002 and continued to meet
monthly until June 2003. The committee has maintained their role as the key
component in the planning process. The committee assisted staff in compiling all of
the public input information from the community meetings into the NorthSide
Community Plan document.
Community Meetings – Three community meetings have taken place at D.C. Virgo
Middle School on Nixon Street in the past year. The purpose of the first meeting held
in June 2002 was to learn what vision the residents had for their community’s future.
Participants initially met in the school auditorium before they were asked to disperse
into nine different classrooms to begin the visioning process, since smaller groups

allow better communication with participants. Participants were asked two questions:
“What do you want in your community?” and “What do you not want in your
community?” Each group developed lists with responses to each question. The
groups voted on each response to prioritize the issues. See Appendix F for the
complete list of responses. The Steering Committee compiled all the responses and
developed six common themes to make it easier to understand the issues and focus on
developing objectives and action steps. The common themes are:
•
Crime Prevention
•
•
•
Housing
•
•
Transportation
NorthSide Community Plan Meeting at D.C. Virgo Middle School June 2002
The second community meeting in September 2002 was an opportunity for residents to
become more involved in the planning process. Work groups were formed to further
discuss, refine and address the six themes. Meeting participants were asked to join one
of the six theme teams to develop goals, objectives and action steps for each theme.
The goals and objectives were written to reflect the responses from the first community
meeting.
Theme Team Meetings – The six theme teams met several times in October and
November 2002 and also in January and February 2003. These citizen teams,
facilitated by staff, were responsible for developing measurable objectives and action
steps that can be clearly understood and can feasibly be implemented in the future. The
goal of the teams was to assure that anyone who reads the objectives and action steps
now, and in the future, clearly understand what is being recommended.
Participants were presented with a draft NorthSide Community Plan document listing
the goals, objectives and action steps for the six themes at the third community

meeting, again at D.C. Virgo Middle School, on May 17, 2003. This was the
community’s opportunity to view and discuss the goals, objectives and action steps
developed by the theme teams before the plan is presented to City Council on July 15,
2003. The meeting was a celebration of all of the resident’s hard work over the past
year. More than 100 people attended the meeting. See Appendix E for the NorthSide
Issues map that reflects the objectives and action steps of each theme.
NorthSide Community Plan Meeting May 2003
Community Outreach
The Outreach Committee was responsible for determining the most effective methods
to have meaningful participation during the three community meetings held at D.C.
Virgo Middle School. The committee was comprised of community leaders, a City
Council member and members of the Steering Committee. Various outreach methods
were employed as an effort to reach as many residents and business owners as possible
to inform them of the upcoming public community meetings. The outreach methods
included direct mail meeting invitations to residents and property owners, public
service announcements on the radio, on Government-TV and in three local newspapers,
meeting flyers posted throughout the community and in the City Administration
Building, meeting announcements at City Council meetings and through word-ofmouth announcements.

NorthSide Community Plan Outreach Committee April 2003
At the first community meeting in June 2002, nearly 200 people were in attendance.
The September 2002 meeting saw a reduction in the number of participants to
approximately 60 people. More than 100 people attended the third meeting in May
2003. Overall, the outreach methods used were successful and inclusive in getting the
word out to citizens in the NorthSide community about the planning process.
In January 2003, the NorthSide Steering Committee, in conjunction with city staff,
mailed 3,450 newsletters to NorthSide residents, property owners and business owners
with an update of the NorthSide Community Plan process. In addition to the plan
status, the newsletter also included pictures and descriptions of positive results that
have already occurred in the community since the planning process began. The
purpose of the newsletter was not only to inform citizens of the status of the plan, but
also to show how community planning can make a difference in neighborhoods.
The VTA Group, a leadership consultant firm, helped facilitate the involvement and
participation of the NorthSide community in the planning process.

NorthSide Neighborhood Association
The NorthSide Neighborhood Association (NSNA) was formed during the planning
process primarily as a result of the initiative of the Attractive Community and Crime
Prevention theme teams. Citizens on these teams wanted to form a citizen group to
represent and be the voice of the community and assure ongoing ownership of the
NorthSide Community Plan. The Association officially formed in March 2003 when
citizens elected a Board of Directors consisting of a President, Vice President,
Recording Secretary, Financial Secretary and Treasurer. The group has adopted a
charter and by-laws. The Association’s purpose, as stated in the charter, includes
ensuring the implementation of the Northside Community Plan. The members of the
association are very energetic and dedicated to increasing the quality of life in their
community. This group will help to ensure the success of the plan.
The Association’s Board of Directors was elected in March 2003 for a two-year term.
The board members are: Lewis Green, President; Theresa Walker, Vice-President;
Melinda Jackson, Treasurer; Billy Koch, Financial Secretary; and Jim Story, Recording
Secretary.

Plan Recognition by the City of Wilmington
On July 15, 2003 the Wilmington City Council adopted the NorthSide Community
Plan. See Appendix Q for the adopted resolution.
Consistency with the City’s Strategic Plan
According to the Vibrant Neighborhoods section of the Strategic Plan, “the City is
committed to maintaining and improving the safety, physical and economic conditions
in all neighborhoods paying particular attention to the threatened neighborhoods”. The
NorthSide Community Plan is consistent with the Vibrant Neighborhoods Goals in the
City’s Strategic Plan. See Appendix G for the complete excerpt of the Vibrant
Neighborhoods section in the Strategic Plan. The goals include:
•
Affordable Housing
•
Access to Amenities
•
Code Enforcement
•
Infrastructure and Beautification
Plan Contents
The major element of the plan is the listing of the goals, objectives and action steps for
each of the six themes. The themes are prioritized by the number of votes each
response received at the first community meeting in June 2002. The responses related
to Crime Prevention received the highest number of votes. The six themes of the plan
are:
•
Crime Prevention
•
•
•
Housing
•
•
Transportation
Another major element is the Plan Implementation Matrix that lists the persons and
entities responsible for implementing the action steps and the timeframe within which
they are proposed to occur. See Page 8-1 for the Implementation section.

Crime Prevention
Introduction
Crime Prevention is the first theme to be addressed in the plan because it is considered by the community
to be the highest priority among the six themes. The community expressed the need to eliminate drugs
and drug dealers and the need for more police patrols in the area as its main priorities. Additionally, the
community wants more opportunities and outlets designed to keep children off the streets. Another
concern in the NorthSide community is people “hanging out” on street corners, which may contribute to
drug activity. The following objectives and action steps support the goal to create a safer neighborhood
by collaborating resources with other agencies, empowering NorthSide residents to reduce crime by
utilizing preventative measures, and incentives to get youth off the streets.

Introduction
Economic Development is the second highest priority in the plan primarily due to the community’s lack
of nearby “everyday” services and amenities. The single issue that received the highest number of votes
at the first community meeting in June 2002 was the need for a grocery store in the community. Other
services that the community desires include a laundromat, family restaurants and a farmer’s market.
Bringing more commercial businesses to the area may also increase quality jobs available in the
community, which is another need expressed by residents. The following objectives and action steps
support the accomplishment of the goal to market the NorthSide area to increase the convenience of
commercial services and amenities while increasing jobs available to NorthSide residents.
Plan
Co mp onen ts
Goal
Ensure convenience and commercial amenity needs are met and
quality jobs are provided through the development of new stores
and businesses in the NorthSide community. This new
development should revitalize existing retail stores and buildings.
The result should include the creation of employment
opportunities that increase the average household income,
decrease the poverty level and improve the quality of life for
residents of the NorthSide community.

Introduction
With the completion of MLK Parkway, the NorthSide community will be one of the first images of the
City that visitors, as well as area residents, encounter. Improving the appearance of the community will
increase resident pride and may also deter crime. Criminal activity often occurs and flourishes in
deteriorated areas. The Attractive Community theme group recommends improving the appearance of
NorthSide neighborhoods by decreasing the number of code violations, reducing litter, improving
streetscapes, increasing green space, rehabilitating residential and commercial structures and
implementing a unified signage program. The following objectives and action steps seek to support the
Attractive Community goal of preserving the history, character and beauty of the NorthSide residential

Housing
Introduction
The majority of NorthSide houses are rental houses. There is a desire to increase owner-occupied homes.
The Plan recommends conducting community workshops to inform citizens of the loans and options
available to qualified applicants through the City and other agencies to purchase or renovate a home. The
City will also educate citizens on the meaning of “qualified applicant”. The primary objectives of the
Housing Theme group are to promote home ownership and housing renovations in the NorthSide
community by increasing the awareness of resources available to purchase a home or renovate an existing
house. Additionally, it is recommended to demolish Taylor Homes Public Housing and construct a
mixed-use development in its place. The following objectives and action steps support the Housing
Theme goal of promoting opportunities for affordable homeownership by providing homebuyer
education.

Introduction
Residents of the NorthSide community have expressed the need for additional recreational opportunities
for people of all ages. Providing additional recreation activities supports the Crime Prevention Theme,
since it may be an opportunity to offer more options to keep children off the street. The Community
Facilities and Programs Theme group recommends providing a new resource facility that includes
recreational and educational opportunities for everyone in the NorthSide community. However, a new
facility may not be an immediate reality for the community. In order to immediately offer additional
recreational and educational opportunities, the group recommends increasing programs by utilizing
existing facilities such as churches and schools. The following objectives and action steps support the
goal of providing recreational, educational, vocational, community meeting space and cultural
opportunities in the NorthSide.

Transportation
Introduction
The Transportation group’s goal is to provide safe and efficient traffic flow and provide convenient and
accessible public transportation for the NorthSide community. The objectives of the theme rely on
partnerships among the City, Wilmington Transit Authority, the NC Department of Transportation and the

Implementation Section
Action steps to implement community desires represent the end result of this planning effort.
Staff analyzed the number of actions to be accomplished each year and identified the involved
parties for each action. The following table, “NorthSide Action Step Distribution”, lists all of
the responsible parties and their commitment for each year. City responsibilities will be
spread among a number of departments. The bar graph illustrates the distribution among
involved parties. The following pie chart indicates that 49% of the tasks will be initiated in
Year One. Many of the action steps are already underway. The City of Wilmington is listed
as the responsible party for the majority of the action steps as indicated on the bar graph, but
most of the action steps list other agencies, in addition to the City, to accomplish each step.
Staff will work with the NorthSide Neighborhood Association to develop an annual action list
that includes action steps that have been accomplished and action steps to be accomplished.
Staff will work with the NorthSide Neighborhood Association in the year 2008 to review and
evaluate the Plan’s effectiveness.
