[Durham INC] If you thought the BOCC were sleaze-balls, check this out

[Anne Guyton]

Pat,

Can you tell me if the present protest petition requirements/ordinance are part of the UDO, passed by the city and county?

Wouldn't this also apply to the city?

Thanks as always for your expertise!

 Respectfully, 


Anne M. Guyton

 To spell out more clearly what this means:
1) The legislature is expected to go home in 2-3 weeks, so if this passes, it will apply to the 751 assemblage.
2) This is why they needed a postponement until July


Regards, pat

 I was looking at something else and found this special provision on Durham protest petitions that the legislature is considering:

http://www.ncga.state.nc.us/Sessions/2009/Bills/House/PDF/H2033v1.pdf


considered "members of the board" for calculation of the requisite supermajority.
10 To qualify as a protest under this section, the petition must be signed by the owners
11 of either (i) twenty percent (20%) or more of the area included in the proposed change or (ii)
12five percent (5%) of a 100-foot-wide buffer extending along the entire boundary of each
13 discrete or separate area proposed to be rezoned. A street right-of-way shall not be considered
14 in computing the 100-foot buffer area as long as that street right-of-way is 100 feet wide or
15 less. When less than an entire parcel of land is subject to the proposed zoning map amendment,
16 the 100-foot buffer shall be measured from the property line of that parcel. In the absence of
17 evidence to the contrary, the county may rely on the county tax listing to determine the
18 "owners" of potentially qualifying areas.
19 The foregoing provisions concerning

it is obviously something the county commissioners has asked for since all the reps are sponsoring it.  This would make it ALMOST IMPOSSIBLE to get a protest petition in the county.  I'm not sure how to stop it, but it must be stopped.

Thanks, pat
