North Carolina S688 amends local government land use laws to restrict zoning regulations and clarify legal standing for challenges. It limits local governments from imposing certain conditions on development permits, such as taxes, impact fees, and unauthorized building design elements. It also specifies that local governments cannot require property owners to acquire rights-of-way from non-owned property for street or alley improvements. The bill allows for certain driveway-related improvements if specific conditions are met.
