12/12/2006 TUE 16:45 FAX <br />Page 4 of 8 <br />(1972). <br />The court in ASP Associates v. City of Raleigh, 298 N.C. 207, 258 S.E. 2d 444 (1979) <br />states "Legislative power is vested exclusively in the General Assembly by Article 11, Section 1, <br />of the North Carolina Constitution. From this provision and from Article 1, Section 6, derives the <br />principle that the General Assembly may not delegate its power to any other department or body. <br />Motsinger v. Perryman, 218 N.C. 15, 9 S.E. 2d 51'1(1940); Coastal Highway v. Turn pike <br />Authori 237 N.C. 52, 74 S.E. 2d 310 (1953). This principle, however, is not absolute." <br />D. The Legislature may delegate power to legislate zoning to cities, towns and <br />counties. <br />It is settled law that the power to zone real property is vested in the General Assembly by <br />this section (N.C. Const., Art II, §1.) Chnstmon y. Guilford County, 322 N.C. 611, 370 S.E.2d <br />579 (1998). "The power to zone is the power of the State and rests initially with the General <br />Assembly." Zopfi v CiWofWilmington, 273 N.C. 430,160 S.E.2d 691 (1964)-.. <br />"The General Assembly has delegated to the legislative body of cities and incorporated <br />towns the power to adopt zoning regulations and, from time to time, to amend or repeal such <br />regulations." In re Markham, 259 N.C. 566,131 S.e.2d 329, cert. denied, 375 U.S. 931 (1963). <br />"The authority of the General Assembly to delegate to municipal corporations power to legislate <br />concerning local problems; such as zoning, is an exception to the general rule that legislative <br />powers, vested in the General Assembly by N.C. Const., Art II, § l; may not be delegated by it.." <br />275 N.C. 155, 166 S.e.2d 78 (1969). Hence, <br />Jackson v Guilford County $d Of Ad'usi tin' ent <br />zoning is a legislative act that has been delegated to the municipalities by the General Assembly. <br />The court in ASP Associates v. Cily of Raleigh,.298 N.C. 207, 258 S.E. 2d 444 (1979) <br />states "Delegations to municipal corporations of the States' police power to legislate concerning <br />local problems such as zoning is permissible by long standing exception to the general rule of <br />non-delegation of legislative power. In Re Markam, 259 N.C. 566, 131 S.E. 2d 329 (1963); <br />Jackson v. Board of Adjustment, 275 N.C. 155, 166 S.E. 2d 78 (1969). <br />Local governments have been delegated the power to zone their territories and restrict <br />them to specified purposes by the General Assembly. Zopfi v. City of Wilmington, 273 N .C. <br />430, 434, 160 S.E.2d 325, 330 (1968). This authority' is subject both to the . limitations <br />imposed by the Constitution and to the limitations of the enabling statute." Id. Within those <br />limitations, the enactment of zoning legislation "is a matter within the discretion of the legislative <br />body of the city or town." Id. Summers v. City of Charlotte, 149 N.C. App: 509, 562 S.E. 2d 18 <br />2015/021 <br />11
