A BILL TO BE ENTITLED
AN ACT TO AMEND THE CARRBORO TOWN CHARTER TO AUTHORIZE THE GOVERNING BODY TO OFFER INCENTIVES TO ENCOURAGE MORE AFFORDABLE HOUSING UNITS.
The General Assembly of North Carolina enacts:
Section 1.  Section 9-2 of the Carrboro Town Charter, being Chapter 476 of the 1987 Session Laws, reads as rewritten:
"*Section 9-2.  Unified Development Ordinance.  The board of aldermen may combine into a single ordinance or unified land use code any of the ordinances that it is permitted to adopt pursuant to the authority granted in Article 19 of Chapter 160A of the General Statutes or any local act applicable to the Town of Carrboro that deals with the subject matters contained in Article 19 of Chapter 160A of the General Statutes. In a unified development ordinance the board may provide that subdivision preliminary plat approval be granted in the same manner as any other conditional use permit is issued, including the attachment of reasonable conditions to such approval.  The Town may provide by ordinance for appropriate incentives to encourage that residential developments contain housing units that are affordable to low- or moderate-income persons."
Section 2.  This act is effective when it becomes law.
