The Commission on Reorganization advised that a capital planning commission should rely on the Department of Administration for staff assistance and work closely with planning authorities of the City of Raleigh and with a proposed Heritage Square Commission.  The latter commission, also recommended by the 1959 Commission on Reorganization in a previous report, was to function as the planner and developer of a  museum, library, and archives center in close proximity to the North Carolina State Capitol on Capitol (Union) Square.  In response to these proposals, the General Assembly of 1961 gave statutory authority both to the State Capital Planning Commission and to the Heritage Square Commission.  However, the latter commission was not granted funds to acquire land or construct buildings, as the Commission on Reorganization had proposed.  The State Capital Planning Commission was to consist of nine gubernatorial appointees, including at least two who had served in the legislature, and its chairman was to be designated by the governor from among the commission membership.  The commission was scheduled to expire upon certification by the chairman that it had performed its assigned duties, reporting to the governor and legislature no later than 1 July 1965.  In 1962 Governor Terry Sanford named an almost identical  membership to the State Capital Planning Commission and to the Heritage Square Commission, in recognition of their close and interrelated nature.  Subsequently, the State Capital Planning Commission and the Heritage Square Commission cooperated in making detailed studies of  existing environmental conditions and patterns of activity in the capital area, defined primarily as the central part of Raleigh, including almost all of the original city as laid out in 1792.  In April 1965 the State Capital Planning Commission submitted a plan including its basic premises, historical background, current land-use and commuter patterns, assessments of present and future needs of the capital area, proposed stages of development to the year 2000, and  recommendations for implementation along with estimated costs.  The plan also advised that a new Commission for State Capital Planning should be created with authority over the development of a State Capital Center, including responsibility for the location and design of buildings and  landscaping.  Furthermore, it proposed that the commission be supported by an Office of State Capital Planning within the Department of Administration.  While the 1965 General Assembly did not fully implement the  commission's recommendations, it did establish a North Carolina Capital Planning Commission with the following powers and duties:  to obtain  and maintain up-to-date building requirements for state governmental agencies in Raleigh and its environs; to formulate a long-range capital improvements program; to recommend the acquisition of land as required; to select the locations for state government buildings, monuments, memorials, and improvements in Raleigh and its environs; and to submit a report of its activities to each session of the General  Assembly.  The commission was to consist of twelve members including the governor as chairman; a member of the Senate as vice-chairman to be appointed by the lieutenant governor; a member of the House of  Representatives to be appointed by the speaker; the state's attorney general and all other members of the Council of State; and a representative of the City of Raleigh to be designated by the Raleigh City Council for a two-year term.  The director of the Department of Administration was to serve as secretary to the commission.  The legislature required that the minutes, plans, and other public records of the former State Capital Planning Commission and the Heritage Square Planning Commission be turned over to the Capital Planning Commission.  Additionally, the legislature authorized the commission to select an advisory committee of engineers, architects, and other professionals as needed.  The director of the Department of Administration was to employ any staff members deemed necessary to assist the commission in the execution of its duties.  In 1967 the General Assembly created an additional statutory body to provide support to the commission, the North Carolina Capital Building Authority, and among its duties was the submission of an annual report to the Capital Planning Commission.  Under the  Executive Organization Act of 1971, the Capital Planning Commission was formally transferred to the Department of Administration for personnel and budgetary purposes.  However, in 1975 the Capital Planning Commission came directly under the authority of the Department of Administration.  In 1987 the Capital Building Authority was abolished and replaced by the State Building Commission.  This new commission was required to submit its annual report to the governor and to the Joint Legislative Commission on Governmental Operations instead of to the Capital Planning Commission.  The Capital Planning Commission has continued as a separate  entity within the Department of Administration, meeting at the call of the governor to review proposals for changes to the master plan of the  state government complex.
