Winston-Salem/Forsyth Co. Planning and Zoning.

This bill updates North Carolina state law to allow the City of Winston-Salem to delegate its zoning and rezoning authority to a joint planning board that includes both city and county representatives. Under this new framework, the City Council would retain the power to set rules for the board and keep the final say on decisions, while also maintaining the right to hear appeals. The legislation clarifies how the city can create different types of zoning districts, including general use areas with mixed permitted activities and special use districts for specific projects, and outlines the conditions that can be attached to permits.
