B. 112, the bill that the NC House of Representatives amended to abolish zoning protest petitions, the North Carolina Senate has created its own version of the bill by amending H. B. 74. This bill does not tamper with protest petitions. This morning the senate gave its final approval to its version of the bill . It will now go to the house. Both versions of the bill contain a long list of provisions affecting the way state and local government agencies regulate everything from the environment to bed and breakfast businesses. There a differences and the one of the big ones is the protest petition provision. I can only think that the hue and cry raised by neighborhood advocates since last week has made a difference. The question now is which version of the regulatory reform bill will pass and, when it passes, what will it say about zoning protest petitions? The right of a neighboring property owner to protest the proposed rezoning of an adjacent property is as old as zoning itself in North Carolina. The 1923 enabling legislation that first authorized NC cities to regulate land use by zoning expressly permitted a protest petition. The petition right is part of the concept of zoning, the original balance of competing interests which is built into the zoning process. From the beginning, when neighbors filed a valid petition, the rezoning could pass with only a supermajority vote of the city council. Today, a protest petition is valid if it signed by the owners of 5% of the band of property 100 feet wide surrounding the property to be rezoned. When a valid petition is filed, the rezoning can be approved only with a ¾ majority vote of the city council. While 5% doesn’t sound like much, it is actually a very high bar and the result is that only a few valid petitions are filed. Fewer still actually result in the defeat of the proposed rezoning. It is the existence of the petition right in the first place that causes developers to be good neighbors. When the necessary threshold of neighbors actually file a valid petition, it is a signal to the city council and the whole community that the proposed rezoning is controversial and deserves special scrutiny. If the protest petition right is taken away, the whole zoning process will be out-of-balance. Ordinary people, the very people whose interests in their homes are meant to be protected by zoning rules, will lose their only leverage in a process that is often stacked against them. Modern zoning regulations are complicated and ordinary people who cannot afford attorneys and land planners are alienated from the process. The last thing the legislature should consider is a move that will only increase this alienation. So, this weekend, let’s redouble our efforts to let our legislators in both the house and the senate know how important the preservation of zoning protest petitions is to us. Again, here are the three steps you can take: 1) E-mail all the members of the General Assembly from your community, both in the Senate and the House. Tell them to save your right to file a zoning protest petition in whatever version of the regulatory reform bill they may ultimately pass. Please do not say “Vote against S. B. 112” or “Vote for H. B. 74.” Both bills are loaded with provisions that legislators and citizens feel passionate about. We don’t want to get tangled up in the larger debate. Also, because the situation is fluid, we don’t know which bill will start moving or what it may ultimately say. Our message should be “Don’t tamper with the right of an ordinary citizen to file a zoning protest petition.” You can find your senators’ and representatives’ e-mail addresses at www.ncleg.net. 2) Share this message with other neighborhood advocates in your community. Post it on your neighborhood listserves and facebook pages. Messages form ordinary people at home carry a great deal of weight with elected officials in Raleigh. (That is as it should be, right?) 3) E-mail Governor McCrory. He was Mayor of Charlotte and has a wealth of knowledge about the balance of rights that is built into the zoning process. While he probably will not veto the final regulatory reform bill, he should know about our issue. He may use his influence to remove the controversial protest petition provisions from the legislation before it reaches his desk. You can write the governor at www.governor.state.nc.us. Thanks to you all. Together, I believe we will make a difference. Tom Miller Durham

Longview Park Community Watch Update

by Matt Leary

Hey neighbors, I hope everyone is enjoying the warm weather. I thought I'd send out an update to the group since it has been a little while since my last one. I apologize for the delay since my last communication. In the meantime I married my lovely fiancé, went on my honeymoon, had a death in the family and went on several business trips around the country. So, I've been a little busy even if my communications to the group didn't reflect that. First things first, our next Community Watch meeting will be next Wednesday, June 26 at 7:00 PM. We're going to pick up on the suggestion from our last meeting to meet outside to enjoy the nice weather. We'll meet at the Culpepper Park. Bring a chair and bug spray. If you want to bring refreshments, please do. If the weather is foul, the rain date will be Thursday, June 27 at 7:00 PM. If we get rained out that day as well, I'll send another email to the group with another date. Next, I've signed up our group to participate in the National Night Out event on August 6, 2013, like we discussed in our last meeting. I'll bring information on this event to the meeting on the 26th, but the website where you can read about the event is www.natw.org. We'll brainstorm ideas for activities as part of the National Night Out at the next meeting. The traffic calming effort on King Charles has taken its next step forward. White paint markings have been placed on the street and curb to delineate the location of traffic calming treatment and signs. Please take a chance to look at them when you have a chance. Comments can be sent to ntmp(a)raleighnc.gov or 919-996-4066. Contact name: Thomas Fiorello Lastly, did you all do your homework from the last meeting? Your homework was to go out and look at your street lights to note any that are burned out, faulty or find locations where a light should be added. Did you all do that? If not, the weather is just fine to go for a little walk in the evenings. Take a friend or neighbor if you prefer not to walk alone after dark. Please bring your homework to the next meeting. Be sure to write down the pole numbers of associated with any issues you may find as we'll need to pass along this information to Duke Energy for review. Thanks again to Emrys for providing the template for this type of project. I'm looking forward to seeing all of you on the 26th. Kind regards,Matt Leary
