Even though Fat Tuesday has come and gone, and the king cakes are history, we're going to leave the purple, gold, and green lights up at Dowdy Park until Easter Monday. Take advantage of the unusually warm temperatures we're having and take a walk through the park. Look for more light installations in the future. 

On March 1, 2023, Nags Head's Board of Commissioners will hold a public hearing to consider revisions to the Town's Unified Development Ordinance and a Zoning Map amendment pertaining to the Historic Character Area and the October 19, 2023 moratorium. Property owners in the impacted areas should have received a letter earlier this week.

The Town is proposing to change the zoning classification for properties between US 158/South Croatan Highway and NC12/South Virginia Dare Trail from Hollowell Street south to Danube Street. This proposal also includes properties on the east side of Memorial Avenue from Bainbridge Street south to Hollowell Street. These zoning changes would create consistency with existing land uses and would be compatible with the current intensity of development in this area. The changes recommend that:

• some properties in the C-2, General Commercial district be rezoned to R-3, High Density Residential 
• other properties be rezoned from C-2, General Commercial, to a new zoning district, C-5, Historic Character Commercial.
