Bill summary

House committee substitute makes the following changes to 2nd edition:

Changes the long title.

Amends GS 160A-329(b) to provide that, for the purposes of this section, before or after the effective date of an annexation into a municipality, for any property subject to a declaration of covenants, conditions, and restrictions of a subdivision that permits an association to enter into agreement with utility providers before July 1, 2014, the phrase "municipal services" includes water service but not sewer service even if there is language to the contrary in any executed and recorded utility extension agreement. Makes technical changes. 

Amends SL 2013-386, which provides for the annexation to Durham, effective June 3, 2023, of property described as the COLVARD FARMS TRACT. The committee substitute deletes this tract of land from the SL and replaces it with a tract of land called 751 SOUTH ANNEXATION AREA TRACTS/PARCELS. 

Provides that the City of Durham can annex and extend its corporate limits by adding the COLVARD FARMS TRACT of land under the following conditions: (1) Durham annexes the described property during the 180 days after June 3, 2023, and (2) Durham annexes the described property by either utilizing the process set out in GS Chapter 160A, Article 4A, or by holding a public hearing on the question of annexation, with at least 10 days' public notice. At the hearing the public will have time to be heard, after which the city council can approve or disapprove an ordinance annexing the property.
