BACKGROUND
The North Carolina General Statutes (NCGS) were amended in 2005 to allow Conditional Zoning as a non quasi-judicial rezoning tool/process for cities and counties. While Guilford County and Greensboro were the first in the State to have Conditional Use Zoning Districts in place, Guilford County has historically utilized a non quasi-judicial process for Conditional Use District Zoning (Since 2005, Conditional Use District Zoning has been clarified by NCGS and is considered a quasi-judicial process). Therefore, in keeping with Text Amendment 14-06-GCPL-02921, 07-09-14; a new text amendment has been developed to maintain the current process used by Guilford County (non quasi-judicial), and aligns the terminology/tool and procedures for Conditional Zoning in the County's Development Ordinance with NC general statutes and the non quasi-judicial process historically used in Guilford County.
During its February 10, 2016 Regular Meeting, the Guilford County Planning Board held a public hearing and voted unanimously (8-0) to approve Text Amendment Case #15-12-GCPL-06404) with a noted clerical correction in the Table of Contents on 3-13 and 3-13.1 (see attached meeting minutes).
Having been duly noticed the Board of Commissioners is asked to hold a public hearing regarding the recommended text amendments to the Guilford County Development Ordinances.
