The Mount Holly City Council approved a text amendment to the city subdivision ordinance that requires underground water and sewer infrastructure for commercial and multifamily projects to be installed and inspected and approved before foundations are poured.
The change, identified as case TA254, was presented by staff and recommended by the Planning Commission. "Staff is proposing a text amendment to sections of the land development ordinance that would specify the required time for underground utilities to be installed for commercial and multifamily projects," Staff member Livingston said, explaining the amendment would require installation of water and sewer before the foundation is poured and that a city site inspector must inspect and approve the work.
The council opened and closed the public hearing with no speakers signed up. A motion to approve the amendment was made by Council member Meadows and seconded by Council member Shoemaker; the council voted unanimously to pass the amendment.
The ordinance sections listed on the published agenda were cited as part of the case materials (case TA254). Staff and the Planning Commission recommended approval; no members of the public addressed the council during the hearing.
The amendment's effective date and any implementation guidance were not specified during the meeting; staff stated they were available to answer follow-up questions.
