Consideration of a Proposed Residential Growth Management System Ordinance for
the Brawley School Road Peninsula: Acting Planning Director Steve Warren briefly reviewed
this ordinance, and a copy is as follows:
RESIDENTIAL GROWTH MANAGEMENT SYSTEM
1: LEGISLATIVE INTENT
The purposes of this chapter are to:
(a) Establish a residential building permit management system that affixes a short-term rate of growth on the
Brawley School Road peninsula. Fluctuations in that rate will occur on an annual basis;
(b) Establish a residential building permit management system that shares available building permits on a
prorated basis;
(c) Provide for a rate of growth on the Brawley School Road peninsula that will assure the preservation of its
unique environment and its high quality oflife;
(d) Assure that such growth proceeds in an orderly manner and does not exceed the availability of public
facilities and urban services;
(e) Avoid increased response times for emergency services (such as fire, sheriff, and EMS) associated with
unmanaged growth. Any such delay would endanger lives of residents;
(� Avoid degradation in air and water quality;
(g) Provide the NC Department of Transportation reasonable opportunity to widen Brawley School Road.

general provisions

compliance with this chapter.
(b) ALLOCATIONS NEEDED
One allocation is needed to secure a building permit to construct each dwelling unit, except as
set forth below. The living quarters set forth below shall require:
(1) One-half allocation for an efficiency living unit; and one-sixth allocation or one-eighth allocation for
each occupant for a group care facility or a residential care facility respectively;
(2) One-fifth allocation for accommodations without kitchens or one-third allocation for attached
allocations for congregate care facilities;
(3) One allocation for any other type of dwelling unit;
(4) No allocations are required for a bed and breakfast, a hostel, a hotel, or a motel.
(c) ZONING PERMIT APPROVALS
All zoning permit applications will be reviewed within 10 working days after submission of a complete
application. At the end of the application review period, either the application will be entered into a
random selection process for zoning and building review or reasons will be given to the grantee why the
application cannot proceed, in which case the grantee has 5 working days in which to submit all required
corrections. If the corrections are not completed in the time and manner required, the application is void
unless reinstated by the Planning Director upon a fending ofexcusable neglect.
(d) 60 DAYS TO OBTAIN A BUILDING PERMIT
If an application is selected during the random selection process, the applicant can apply for a building
permit with the Iredell County Inspections Department. Once a building permit is made available for

application and related allocation is void unless reinstated by the Planning Director upon a finding of
excusable neglect.

Chapter 4-56, unless compliance with a shorter schedule is required by the Board of Commissioners under

State Building Code, the related allocation is void.
