Senate committee substitute rewrites the 1st edition to delete references to condemnation proceedings and instead apply the restriction on length of time real property can be encumbered by a transportation corridor map to include when the property must be released from encumbrances or purchased (previously applied time limits to either purchase of property or initiation of condemnation proceedings), and makes additional amendments to GS 136-44.51 as follows:
Amends GS 136-44.51(a) to change notification to transportation officials of filing of a transportation corridor official map to within 10 days of a submittal for corridor map determination as provided for in amendments to subsections (b) and (c) of the statute (previously was within 10 days of request for building permit or subdivision approval).
Amends GS 136-44.51(b) to require that application for building permits or subdivision plat approval may not be delayed for more than 3 years (was, 18 months) from date of submittal of application for building permit or subdivision plat approval to the appropriate local jurisdiction (was, from the date of the adoption of the transportation corridor map). Adds new requirement that information included in a submittal for a corridor map determination is limited to the property owner’s name, property street address, parcel or tax identification number, vicinity map marking nearby roads and landmarks, parcel sketch showing existing and proposed structures, and proposed property improvement description. If review of the corridor map determination is not complete within 3 years from the date of submittal, the entity that adopted the corridor map will either approve the submittal or initiate property acquisition proceedings; if neither action is taken, the submittal is deemed approved and the property may be treated as being unencumbered and free of any restrictions arising from the corridor map.
Amends GS 136-44.51 to add a new subsection (c) providing that submittals for corridor map determinations will not be construed as applications for a building permit or subdivision plat approval. Makes the provisions of GS 136-44.51 not applicable to valid building permits issued prior to August 7, 1987, or to building permits issued for buildings and structures existing prior to the filing of a transportation corridor map so long as the size of the building and its occupancy code has not changed. Makes conforming changes to the title.
