Currituck County Planning Board unanimously approved PB26‑09 on June 9 to align the Unified Development Ordinance with recent amendments to the North Carolina General Statutes. The state law change prohibits local governments from imposing waiting periods for resubmitting denied or withdrawn zoning and development applications.
The amendment removes local waiting‑period language for development applications and clarifies that applications heard through evidentiary hearings must still reflect meaningful changes from previously denied proposals (to respect res judicata principles). Planning staff said the text change effectively codifies current practice and brings the UDO into statutory compliance.
The board voted to forward the amendment to the Board of County Commissioners for final adoption.
