41 <br /> Why Are We Here? <br /> • October 10 , 2023 — Regulatory Updates <br /> — North Carolina House Bill 600 (HB 600 / SL 2023-137). <br /> — HB 600 provides clarification regarding what is considered <br /> existing built upon area (i.e., pre-existing development). <br /> — Any built upon area in existence prior to the effective date of the <br /> local water supply watershed program (i.e., WPODs) is <br /> considered pre-existing development and cannot be counted from <br /> a regulatory perspective (i.e., stormwater management needs). <br /> — The pre-existing date is generally defined as January 1 , 1994, but <br /> some WPODs have different dates. <br /> — UDO text amendment approved by BOCC on June 4. 2024, that <br /> integrated key requirements of HB 600. <br /> — We are now providing additional clarifications.
