CHAPTER 81
SENATE BILL 688

AN ACT AMENDING THE DURHAM CITY CHARTER WITH RESPECT TO
ZONING PROTEST PETITIONS.

The General Assembly of North Carolina enacts:

Section 1. The Charter of the City of Durham, being Chapter 671, 1975
Session Laws, as amended, is amended by adding the following new section:
"Sec. 94.3. Vote required for zoning ordinances: Protest Petitions.
In case a protest petition is filed against any amendment, supplement, change,
modification or repeal of a zoning regulation, restriction or zone boundary, and such
protest is determined to be sufficient, under G.S. 160A-385, to require a three-fourths
vote of all members of the city council for passage, the number of members of the city
council shall be reduced (for purposes of calculating the number of affirmative votes
required) by the number of city council members, if any, who have been excused from
voting because the council member or council members' financial interests are
involved."
Sec. 2. This act is effective upon ratification.
In the General Assembly read three times and ratified this the 26th day of
May, 1993.
