Hello INC Delegates,

Main St.  Any interested citizen is welcome to attend.  Please print out a copy of the agenda and bring it with you.

A Resolution by the InterNeighborhood Council of Durham Concerning Equal Access to the Legislative Zoning Process

WHEREAS, the North Carolina Bar Association intends to seek legislation during the 2015 session of the North Carolina General Assembly comprehensively rewriting the statutes on city and county zoning; and
WHEREAS, contained within the Bar Association’s draft bill are provisions which would take away the rights of citizens who are not owners of property to be rezoned to apply to city and county governments to rezone land on an equal footing with property owners; and
WHEREAS, the power to regulate land use is an exercise of the government’s police power and is valid only if it promotes the public health, safety, and welfare, and the zoning governing a particular parcel belongs to the public and is not the property of the landowner; and
WEREAS, the rezoning process is a legislative function of local government to which every citizen should have equal access;
THEREFORE BE IT RESOVED by the InterNeighborhood Council of Durham through its delegates assembled that InterNeighborhood Council opposes the legislation sought by the North Carolina Bar Association insofar as it proposes to limit the ability of all citizens to participate in the legislative zoning process on an equal footing without regard to land ownership and calls upon the City and County of Durham and the Durham’ legislative delegation to also oppose such legislation.

This ____ day of _______________, 2015.
