4 <br />384 (Attachment 2) modifying the statute of limitations for the appeal of local <br />government decisions. <br />1. Analysis <br />The amendment is necessary to incorporate recent modifications to State law <br />concerning the rights of local citizens to appeal decisions by the local governing <br />board (Board of County Commissioners) from a legislative (i.e. text amendment, <br />rezoning, etc.) perspective. This would include the legislative (i.e. rezoning) <br />component of Conditional District applications. <br />It should be noted that staff has concerns over the implications over the recently <br />adopted language and is working with other local governments and professional <br />organizations to articulate these concerns to members of the General Assembly. <br />Unfortunately we cannot delay this amendment in order wait to see if these actions <br />will be successful. <br />The wording of the proposed amendment (Attachment 3 of the packet) has been <br />reviewed and approved by the County Attorney's office. <br />2. Comprehensive Plan Linkage (i.e. Principles, Goals and Objectives) <br />This is a house keeping item in order to ensure local regulations are consistent with <br />recently modified State regulations. There is no direct link to the Comprehensive <br />Plan for these amendments. <br />3. New Statutes and Rules <br />Session Law 2011 -384 revises several sections of the North Carolina General <br />Statutes changing the statute of limitations for various local government decisions. <br />C.
