Special Use Permits in North Carolina Zoning


Book Description

Virtually all North Carolina cities and counties with zoning use special and conditional use permits to provide flexibility in zoning ordinances and to secure detailed reviews of individual applications. This publication first examines the law related to the standards applying to such permits and the process required to make decisions about applications. Based on a comprehensive survey of North Carolina cities and counties, it then discusses how cities and counties have exercised that power.
