Restore Down-Zoning Authority

Introduced·1/29/25

Restores local governments' authority to initiate down-zoning in North Carolina.

This bill repeals Section 3K.1 of S.L. 2024-57, restoring the authority for local governments to initiate down-zoning. The repeal is effective retroactively to December 11, 2024, meaning any ordinances affected by the previous law will be reinstated as they were before that date. This change allows local governments to adjust zoning regulations to better suit their community needs.
