The General Assembly of North Carolina do enact:

 

Section 1.  Section 1 of Chapter 846, Sessions Laws of 1969, is hereby amended by rewriting the quoted paragraph to read as follows:

"Such ordinance may provide for the more orderly development of subdivisions within the county or any portion thereof, by providing that developers of any subdivision, whether residential, commercial, industrial or otherwise, shall pave the streets or roads therein and install curb and gutters when the subdivision is within one mile of the city limits of the municipality, provided the municipality is not exercising zoning and subdivision jurisdiction within this area. When any commercial, industrial or residential development is outside the jurisdiction of the municipality, the ordinance may require paving of the roads and streets therein and curb and gutter if the development is served by a county or municipal water and sewer system. The ordinance may provide, where curbs and gutters are not required by the ordinance, that the streets or roads in residential, commercial and industrial developments shall be paved at a width no less than 20 feet. To assure compliance with the paving requirements, the ordinance may provide for the posting of bond or such other method of guarantee of compliance, conditioned upon completion of the paving within a period of 18 months from the time the subdivision plat is recorded, or the sale of fifty percent (50%) of the lots in a subdivision, whichever shall first occur."

Sec. 2.  This act shall become effective upon ratification.

In the General Assembly read three times and ratified, this the 14th day of April, 1971.
