A BILL TO BE ENTITLED
AN ACT amending the charter of the town of morrisville to authorize the town to impose and collect a road project fee on all new construction within the town's corporate limits and extraterritorial jurisdiction.
The General Assembly of North Carolina enacts:
SECTION 1.  The Charter of the Town of Morrisville, being Chapter 776 of the 1947 Session Laws, as amended by Chapter 640 of the 1949 Session Laws and Chapter 802 of the 1975 Session Laws, is amended by adding a new section to read as follows:
"Sec. 11A.  The Town of Morrisville shall have the right, power, and authority to impose and collect a regulatory or development fee defined as a road project fee on all new construction within the Town limits and extraterritorial jurisdiction. It is the purpose and intent of this section to provide the Town with the legal mechanism granting it the right, power, and authority to impose and collect fees to finance additional improvements within the Town limits and extraterritorial jurisdiction. These additional road improvements are being caused by rapid and continued growth within the Morrisville area. This section provides approval to the Town to actually develop and implement such a fee system but does not in any way describe or detail the actual fee structure and rate classification. An extensive study will subsequently be performed to establish the basis and framework for the fee system should the system be deemed necessary in order to maintain the high level of service delivery presently available to Morrisville residents."
SECTION 2.  This act is effective when it becomes law.
