The Town <br /> of Broadway planning Board appointed a temporary chairman to lead their board for the <br /> meeting. Attorney Mac McCarley is a lawyer practicing municipal law for over 43 years, <br /> served as assistant general counsel for NC League of Municipalities, spent 13 years as <br /> City Attorney in Greenville, spent 17 years as City Attorney for the City of Charlotte and <br /> is currently a partner in Parker Poe Adams and Bernstein LLP out of Charlotte <br /> representing local governments in areas including land use, economic development, <br /> employment law, and sports and entertainment facilities. <br /> The legislature made changes in 2019 passing a massive rerun to planning and zoning <br /> statutes. This was a 6 year process starting in 2013. The drafting committee was made <br /> up of a couple of local government attorneys, one representing local government and <br /> one who works for the school of government specializing in land use (David Owens). <br /> Over the course of the drafting period over 85 comments were received and used to <br /> refine the proposal to what was passed. It is required by law to revise the UDO by July 1, <br /> 2021 otherwise the UDO will be out of compliance with State law. We are currently in a <br /> transition period since the law became effective January 1. Legislative goals for the <br /> rewrite include to consolidate municipal and county land use <br />
