Part I.
Amends GS 160D-702 by prohibiting a zoning or development regulation from requiring off-street vehicular parking to: (1) have a minimum width or length, unless the parking space is designed for handicap, parallel, or diagonal parking or (2) require a minimum number of parking spaces per development or structure, regardless of occupancy or use (was, must require a parking space to be larger than nine feet wide by 20 feet long, unless designated for handicap, parallel, or diagonal parking). Effective July 1, 2025.
Part II.
Enacts new GS 143-215.77B, prohibiting a person from purchasing or importing a high PAH (polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons) sealant product (as defined) for use or application in the construction or maintenance of any parking or vehicular access area. Effective January 1, 2026.
Part III.
Amends GS 143-214.7 by no longer prohibiting stormwater runoff rules and programs from requiring private property owners to install new or increased stormwater controls for redevelopment activities that do not remove or decrease existing stormwater controls. Instead, prohibits local stormwater programs from requiring owners who are redeveloping a property to install new stormwater controls for preexisting built-upon areas if the redevelopment site is a small scale residential development. Allows, when a preexisting development that is not a small scale residential development is redeveloped, for local stormwater programs to implement mandatory stormwater capture ordinances requiring owners undertaking the redevelopment to install new stormwater controls for preexisting built-upon area to capture up to 50% of the final stormwater runoff calculation for the entire property. Also allows applicable local stormwater programs to implement incentive stormwater capture ordinances that waive building, zoning, connection, or other fees; provide additional tax and financial benefits; or institute other incentives for redevelopments that capture additional stormwater over the local stormwater programs' mandatory percentages. Allows applicable local stormwater programs to elect to forego mandating stormwater capture controls and provide incentives to capture up to 100% of the final stormwater runoff calculation for the entire property.
