GENERAL PROVISIONS . Section 1.0 Title This Ordinance shall be known as the Townhome and Condominium Regulations for the Unzoned Section ofHamett County, North Carolina. Section 1.1 Purpose The current Ordinances regulating the subdivision of land within the unzoned section ofHamett County do not address the ... ..,,:.on of town homes and condominiums. Consequently, there is no mechanism for evaluating or permitting such types of residential development. This Ordinance will provide such a mechanism. Residential development within the unzoned section ofHamett County is occurring at a rapid rate. This change brings about the need for residential development other than detached single-family dwellings which are traditionally built. A purpose of this Ordinance is to establish procedures for &.-,.. ~ lal and requirements for design standards for the development of townhome and condominium developments in the unzoned section ofHamett County. Since the density found in these projects might be greater than in a typical subdivision it is important that ,....... consideration be given to the impact existing inftastructw'e and surrounding development. This Ordinance is fwther designed to protect and enhance environmental quality while improving the visual and aesthetic appearance of the community. Section 1.2 Authority The provisions of this Ordinance are adapted under authority granted by the General Assembly of the SweofNonh Carolina in General Statutes, Chapter IS3A, Article 18, Part 2 and the Nonh Carolina Unit Ownership Act (General Statute 47A-I et seq). . Section 1.3 Territorial Jurisdiction On and after the date of adoption, these regulations shall govern each and every creation of a townhome and/or condominium development within the County's jurisdiction south of the Cape Fear River. Section 1.4 Exclusions This Ordinance is not intended to regulate manufactured home park developments or apanment complexes. Section 1.5 Conflict Should any section or provision of this Ordinance conflict with the requirements of other lawfully adopted rules, regulations or ordinances ofHamett County or deed restrictions imposed by the developer, the more stringent requirements shall govern. Enforcement of deed restrictions is a private. contractual issue in which the County is not involved. Section 1. 6 Separability Should any section or provision of this Ordinance be declared to be invalid by the Courts for any reason. such declaration shall not affect the Ordinance as a whole or any part thereof other than the part so declared to be invalid. Section 1. 7 Effective Date This Ordinance is hereby established and declared to be in full force and effect from and after its passage, Approved and Adopted by the Board of Commissioners this ...!f:..1ItJ.ay of . ~b8.Y "1999.
