Bill summary

Applies only to the Village of Pinehurst (village).

Amends GS 160D-107 (Moratoria) to impose additional restrictions on the use of commercial development moratoria in the village. Requires the village to hold four additional legislative hearings before imposing a commercial development moratorium under the statute; two of these additional legislative hearings must be held on different dates in the place where legislative hearings are normally held, and two of the hearings must be held on different dates at a location within the area of the corporate limits or extraterritorial jurisdiction that will be affected by the moratorium.

Permits the village to impose a single 60-day commercial development moratorium that may not be renewed or extended, and prohibits the village from including the area subject to the commercial development moratorium in any future commercial development moratorium for five years. Provides an exception to allow the village to address an imminent threat to public health or safety. Makes corresponding changes to the language of subsection (e).

Voids any commercial development moratorium currently in place on the date the bill becomes law, and prohibits the village from including any area subject to a current commercial development moratorium in any future moratorium for five years.
