5 ATTACHMENT PAST PLANNING EFFORTS (Carolina North 2003) UNC created a Carolina North Advisory Committee and associated Advisory Groups to provide input and productive discussion regarding the planning of Carolina North, UNC hosted a community input process in 2003. The committees are noted below: Infrastructure Advisory Committee (includes an environmental sub - committee) Charge: To study, discuss, and develop advice on physical development issues (e.g, roads, utilities, transportation, circulation, parking, airport, and other elements of the physical environment), environmental impact (including stormwater management) and general aesthetics (including both built structures and landscape design as well as undisturbed vegetation) both within Carolina North and in terms of its adjacencies with the community. New Business Development Advisory Committee Charge: To study, discuss and develop advice on defining, by category or type, those private, public, or community uses that would both benefit from inclusion on Carolina North and contribute substantively to furthering the vision and mission statements established for Carolina North. This Advisory Group will identify and recommend specific infrastructure and resources needed on the Carolina North campus in order to facilitate the formation, operation and growth of start-up companies based on university - generated intellectual property assets. All private or other uses (other than purely University uses) may be considered, but there should be priority consideration given to advanced knowledge -based activities that support and are supported by the vision and mission above. External Relations Advisory Committee Charge: To study, discuss, and develop advice for (1) communication strategies and (2) partnership approaches by the university to the State of North Carolina and to local, regional, national and international communities and business organizations in ways that will advance common interests for the success of Carolina North. This Advisory Group also will recommend a strategy for capturing and tracking statistics and indicators of the economic and business development impact of Carolina North over a longitudinal basis, and for recommending strategic partnerships for Carolina North which should be established with relevant local, regional, state, national and international groups interested in the impact of universities on economic development.
