North Carolina H1228 excludes the designation of historic districts from down-zoning in Mecklenburg County.

North Carolina H1228 modifies zoning regulations in Mecklenburg County to exclude the designation of historic districts from being considered down-zoning. This bill ensures that the designation of a historic district by zoning regulation does not require the written consent of all property owners, as would be required for a down-zoning amendment. The bill also prohibits waiting periods for refiling denied or withdrawn applications for zoning map amendments, text amendments, development applications, or requests for development approval. This act applies retroactively to December 11, 2024.
