GENERAL ASSEMBLY OF NORTH CAROLINA
1995 SESSION
CHAPTER 82
AN ACT TO GRANT THE TOWN OF APEX AND THE TOWN OF MOORESVILLE A TEMPORARY EXEMPTION FROM THE TOTAL AMOUNT OF NONCONTIGUOUS TERRITORY THAT MAY BE ANNEXED.
The General Assembly of North Carolina enacts:
Section 1. G.S. 160A-58.1(b)(5) reads as rewritten:
"(5) The area within the
proposed satellite corporate limits, when added to the area within all other
satellite corporate limits, may not exceed ten percent (10%) twenty
percent (20%) of the area within the primary corporate limits of the
annexing city."
Sec. 2. This act applies only to the Towns of Apex and Mooresville and only with respect to annexation ordinances adopted on or before December 31, 2000. The authority this act grants to the Town of Apex does not apply to property in Chatham County; therefore, the Town of Apex may not annex property in Chatham County by satellite annexation if the area to be annexed, when added to the area within the satellite corporate limits of the Town of Apex, exceeds the limit set by general law in G.S. 160A-58.1(b)(5).
Sec. 3. This act does not affect Section 3 of Chapter 312 of the 1993 Session Laws.
Sec. 4. This act is effective upon ratification.
In the General Assembly read three times and ratified this the 15th day of May, 1995.
