Conclusion (page 27) INTRODUCTION In the effort to structure a 5-year sustainable development plan for the island of Barbuda, this document aims to serve as a guide towards the creation of the general development vision for the island.

This development vision will be further deﬁned upon implementation of the RRL Barbuda Redevelopment Master Plan initiative (funded by CDB in collaboration with the Government of Antigua and Barbuda and the Barbuda Council).
2 of 27 THE BARBUDA MASTER-PLAN 2020 - 2025 1.0 LAND-USE PLANNING 1.1 Project Title: Barbuda Strategic Land Use Plan 1.2 Project Description: The primary aim of this project is to devise a land use plan to outline the types of development activities that will be permitted within speciﬁc parts of the island.
The project will adhere to the European Environmental Agency (EEA) deﬁnition of land use planning: Land Use Planning Deﬁned: “The systematic assessment of land and water potential, alternative patterns of land use and other physical, social and economic conditions, for the purpose of selecting and adopting land-use options which are most beneﬁcial to land users without degrading the resources or the environment, together with the selection of measures most likely to encourage such land uses.” 1.3 Project Justification: The island of Barbuda is relatively “undeveloped” in comparison to many other Caribbean islands of similar size.
Local residents nonetheless pride themselves in the fact that the island is untouched and un-spoilt by harmful development activities that often destroy the paradise concept.

Barbuda is still a paradise island – and this ideal can be maintained.

The expressed development vision of the Barbuda Council is to allow for growth in area of eco- tourism and to encourage high-end, low density tourism-based development.
Despite its land mass size of 62 square miles, Barbuda’s land carrying capacity is deemed far less than that of islands even half its size (owing to wetlands, low-lying coastal zones, and the presence of sink- holes and caves in speciﬁc regions of the island).

The island is now inhabited by some 1100 people, most of whom live within Codrington Village and its environs.
While only a tiny fraction of the island is currently used for settlement, large tracts of land that have been allotted for agricultural use.

Residential settlement, commercial activity, agriculture, limited sand mining, hunting and ﬁshing characterize the present use of lands in Barbuda.
As plans are established to further develop the island in the areas of housing, hotel/resort development, light industry and other areas, it is apparent that a land use plan must be put in 3 of 27 THE BARBUDA MASTER-PLAN 2020 - 2025 place to serve as a guide for these development activities.

Moreover, Barbuda has many environmentally sensitive areas which must be protected from harmful development activities.

The lack of a clear guideline for land development (i.e.
a current land use plan that is responsive to the Hurricane Irma experience) may result in various projects being established to the detriment of the environment and or development activity that leads to a waste or inefﬁcient allocation of government resources.

An updated land use plan (produced with input from the local community and experts in the ﬁelds of engineering, environment, planning, architecture, ﬁsheries, forestry, agriculture, tourism, government, etc.)
would therefore, serve as the basic determinant for the type of land use activities that will be allowed on the island of Barbuda.

BARBUDA DISTRICT ZONING 2.1 Project Description: The Barbuda District Zoning Project aims to create major subdivisions of the island for strategic planning and government administrative purposes.
The proposed name for these subdivisions is the “DISTRICT”.

Eight districts have been proposed based primarily on unique geographical and environmental features.

The district boundaries can be clearly identiﬁed on most detailed maps of Barbuda as existing roads and foot paths (in many instances) serve as boundary demarcation elements for the districts.

Fig.

2.1 Proposed District Map The eight proposed districts are: 1.

West Coast District (from Billy Point to the Canal) 2.
Palmetto District (all of the Palmetto region including Sand Ground) 3.

South Coast District (east of sand ground along River Road to River Beach and extending eastwards just beyond Fresh Water Pond) 4.

Salt Lake District (from K-Club to Welch Point, including Coco Point and Spanish Point) 5.

East Coast District (the entire stretch of the Highlands area) 6.
Midlands District (bordered on the north by the Two Foot Bay Road, on the east by the path along the Highlands area, on the west by the Codrington Lagoon and south by the path stretching south of the Fresh Water Pond area extending to the south eastern tip of the Lagoon) 7.

Two Foot Bay District (the area extending north of Two Foot Bay Road and terminating at Gun Shop Cliff) 8.
North Coast District (the area encompassing Goat Island, Rabbit Island and Kid Island) 8 of 27 THE BARBUDA MASTER-PLAN 2020 - 2025 2.2 Project Justification: Throughout the world, it is customary for countries/islands to be subdivided into smaller territories called provinces, counties, or parishes, etc.

Antigua, for example, is subdivided into 6 parishes.

However, Barbuda, to date, still exists as a single entity.
As future planning and development efforts evolve to expand human settlement throughout the island, it is important that areas such as villages, and small towns be encompassed within a broader territorial region for purposes such as: 1. the registration and administration of lands 2. land valuation 3. the implementation of speciﬁc land zoning regulations/laws 2.2.1 Land Registration and Administration A District can serve as the major block for registered lands within that region of the island and thereby enable the establishment of a land classiﬁcation system to enhance the current land registration practice.
For example, a parcel of land registered in Codrington Village can have a parcel identiﬁcation starting with the number of the district (Midlands District # 6), followed by a code for Codrington (COD), then a sequential digit such as 125, 126, etc.

The resulting parcel identiﬁcation would be 6-COD-125.

This system signiﬁcantly simpliﬁes the parcel identiﬁcation process.

6-COD - 125 Block Parcel Number 2.2.2 Land Valuation The distinct and unique features within each district (eg.
natural resources, historic sites, attractive coastal views, and other appealing features) can be used to generate tax based revenue via the implementation of a land valuation system for leased lands.

2.2.3 Zoning Regulations Elected ofﬁcials, government bodies, and non-proﬁt organizations can focus on speciﬁc Districts regarding: proposed development plans, environmental protection/preservation matters and other pertinent issues that may impact that district.
9 of 27 THE BARBUDA MASTER-PLAN 2020 - 2025 2.2.3 a Zoning Deﬁned Zoning is the control by a municipality of the: 1. use of land and buildings 2. height and bulk of buildings 3. density of the population 4.

5. size and location of yards and setbacks 6. provision of any ancillary facilities such as parking relation of a lot’’s building coverage to open space 2.2.3 b Proposed Zoning Types: 1.

Local Area Planning: Louis Hill 3.1 Project Description This project aims to produce an updated Local Area Plan for Louis Hill that is responsive to the current housing and other community development needs of the people of Barbuda.

Louis Hill was identiﬁed as the most suitable area for housing development by the Baruda Council in 2007.

The area was selected given its 15ft 420 Acres 360 Acres 188.9 Acres Fig.
3.1 Louis Hill - Barbuda elevation above sea level, its relative resistance to ﬂooding, its close proximity to existing settlement and access to utility services.

A preliminary plan was prepared to illustrate the development potential of a portion of the area.

This plan included twenty four (24) lots which were oﬃcially demarcated and surveyed for housing development under a proposed housing development initiative between the Barbuda Council and the Antigua and Barbuda Development Bank.
This initiative was not realized and there has been minimal development of the lands in the area since 2007.

Proposed Features for a 2020-2025 Local Area Plan for Louis Hill: 1.

A new neighborhood development plan featuring homes and other structures that are resilient to natural disasters such as hurricanes, earthquakes and ﬂooding.

2.

A proposed Covenant for land owners which will adhere to the local building code and any zoning regulations governing: i.

Building height ii.

Building setback iii.


Building orientation iv.

Fencing height v. Fencing materials vi.

Allowable uses for property development etc.

3.1 Project Rationale The widespread destruction caused by Hurricane Irma in September 2017 should inform future building and development practices within the nation of Antigua and Barbuda.

The GOAB and the Barbuda Council have the opportunity to provide a safe haven for residents of Barbuda in the event that a future category 5 storm, tsunami or other peril were to impact the island.
Moreover, the fact that the hurricane breached western strip of land that borders the Codrington Lagoon remains open to the ocean and therefore poses a storm surge threat to Codrington Village should not be taken lightly.

This mandates the need for immediate strategic planning for areas such as Louis Hill which can satisfy the current and long term housing, commercial, recreational and other development needs of Barbuda residents.

3.5 Louis Hill Proposed Layout (Phase 1) The proposed Loui Hill Local Area plan should feature hurricane resilient designs, underground electricity supply (where possible), the incorporation of renewable energy sources (solar energy), and other components such as provision for food security in the event of delayed food supply from foreign sources.

The Barbuda Council has allocated lands at Louis Hill to the Prince’s Foundation to construct 10-20 homes (Fig.
3.4 blocks B,C,D) for residents who lost their homes during Hurricane Irma.

Additionally, the Council has provided a 15 acre plot of land for construction of a new primary school in the area.

This proposed school can function as a hurricane shelter and accommodate a total of 600 persons (approximately 1/3 of Barbuda’s pre-Hurricane Irma population) during the passage of a storm.
Conceptual drawings have also been produced for a possible Early Childhood Development Centre for the area, which, if approved, would result in the creation of an Educational Park/School District (featuring a secondary, primary and early childhood education facilities in adjacent blocks along one main road).

The creation of this school district will certainly become a driver for other development activities within the area.
The GOAB and the Barbuda Council can then target resources towards this area to develop the road, drainage, sanitation, utilities and other infrastructure networks needed to sustain the proposed development.

15 of 27 THE BARBUDA MASTER-PLAN 2020 - 2025 The Barbuda Council has allocated lands at Louis Hill for the Prince’s Foundation Wa’Omoni Cottages project aimed at constructing 10-20 homes for residents who lost their homes during Hurricane Irma.

BARBUDA SEA PORT AREA MASTER-PLAN 4.1 Introduction The River Dock and its immediate environs is a critical land mass for the development of essential port and shipping operations in Barbuda.

In 2004, plans were developed (by Nova Port of Canada) to build a docking facility extending 1100ft oﬀ shore to gain a draught of 20 ft to allow small cruise vessels to dock at the port.

According to this plan, small cargo boats, yachts and ferries would be able to dock on the leeward side of this proposed structure.
Analysis of the sea ﬂoor showed presence of hard rock which would have to be blasted to gain the required draught (resulting in potential environmental harm) hence, extending the dock outwards proved more feasible at the time.

Fig.

4.1 Barbuda Seaport Expansion Plan (2006 by Nova Port) 20 of 27 THE BARBUDA MASTER-PLAN 2020 - 2025 Consideration was also given to numerous land-based development concerns, namely: 1. repairing the then cargo boat dock (considered a safety hazard).
2. building a dedicated ferry docking area (separate from the cargo dock area) 3. building a covered waiting/reception area for the ferry service 4. placement of exterior lighting around the dock 5. supplying APUA electricity and water to the dock 6. provision of a government owned and operated back-up power generator 7. provision of government security and surveillance services 8. public bathroom facilities, etc.
9. the establishment of a port administration building 10. the establishment of a cargo storage facility 11. the establishment of a customs/immigration/police outpost 12. the possibility of incorporating a fuel pipe line along the dock (to transfer fuel directly from the fuel tanker further inland to a fuel storage facility 4.2 Proposed Land- based Development Outlined below are conceptual land use planning ideas for lands surrounding the sea port.

Codrington Lagoon Waterfront Development 5.1 Project Description: The Codrington Lagoon forms a unique part of Barbuda’s marine ecosystem.

Apart from being a habitat for many species of marine life, it is the home of the Magniﬁcent Frigate Bird Sanctuary – a major tourist attraction.

This project focuses on the potential creation of a commercial and recreational shopping complex along the lagoon waterfront which currently offers 5.95 acres of available land for development.

5.1 A portion of the Codrington Lagoon Waterfront Area The area in question features the Codrington wharf and the Fisheries Complex which, in addition to its original function, now serves as an administrative base for the Barbuda Council since the aftermath of Hurricane Irma.
23 of 27 THE BARBUDA MASTER-PLAN 2020 - 2025 5.2 Project Rationale: Long-stay visitors to the island and locals have often expressed the need for a centralized commercial shopping/entertainment venue (similar to Heritage Quay/Redcliffe Quay in Antigua).

The lagoon waterfront offers a convenient and pleasant environment for visitors and locals to enjoy recreational and shopping activities similar to those outlined above.
The development of this waterfront area would pave the way for many small business establishments and other spin-off/indirect employment opportunities for the local population.

Given the current state of economic affairs within the island, diversiﬁcation within the tourism sector would foster much needed economic growth.
