Identical to H 24, filed 1/29/25.
Repeals Section 3K.1 of SL 2024-57, which amended GS 160D-601 to prohibit enacting, in addition to the current prohibition on initiating or enforcing, an amendment to zoning regulations or a zoning map that down-zones property without written consent from all property owners whose property is the subject of the down-zoning amendment. Amended what was considered down-zoning under the statute to also include a zoning ordinance that affects an area of land by creating any type of nonconformity on land not in a residential zoning district, including a nonconforming use, nonconforming lot, nonconforming structure, nonconforming improvement, or nonconforming site element. This was applicable to local government ordinances adopted on or after the date the section became law and any local government ordinance enacting down-zoning of property during the 180 days before the date that this section became effective. The section also voided any ordinances adopted in violation of the statute.
Applies retroactively to December 11, 2024. Makes any adopted ordinance affected by Section 3K.1 of SL 2024-57 in effect as it was on or before December 11, 2024.
