Durham and Raleigh Could Loose Ability to Regulate New Subdivisions

I find it incredible that the North Carolina legislature wants to take control of how the cities regulate home designs.  There are several bills being that would affect Raleigh, Cary, Durham and Wake Forest as well as the rest of the state.  These bills would strike down residential guidelines that tell developers how homes must look.  Another bill ends extraterritorial jurisdiction (an area outside of cit limits where city leaders control planning and zoning matters).  The Metro Mayors Coalition is lobbying against the bills, House Bill 36 and House Bill 51.  Contact your local Representative and let them know you don't want developers having control over subdivisions.
