Appendix 1016. Zoning boundaries over surface waters.  


Latest version.
  • Since NCGS 153A-340 [G.S. 153A-340], as amended, permits a county to regulate development over estuarine waters and over lands covered by navigable waters owned by the state pursuant to G.S. 146-12, within the bounds of that county, the zoning boundaries for waterfront parcels shall be extended linearly 400 feet waterward of the mean high-water mark. This water surface zoning shall not unreasonably infringe on the right to navigation protected by the federal government or on other rights, such as shellfishing rights, allowed by state government.
