North Carolina H1009 prohibits cities from exercising planning jurisdiction outside their corporate limits. The bill mandates that cities may only exercise planning powers within their corporate limits and within one mile beyond those limits. Cities of 10,000 or more but less than 25,000 population may extend their jurisdiction up to two miles, and cities of 25,000 or more population may extend their jurisdiction up to three miles. The bill also specifies procedures for transferring jurisdiction from cities to counties, including notice requirements and the preservation of vested rights.
