Summary
The bill changes state zoning law so that creating a historic district in Mecklenburg County is not treated as down‑zoning. Property owners and developers will no longer need unanimous consent to approve a historic district, even though down‑zoning normally requires it. This aims to make it easier for the county to preserve historic areas.
