After closed session, Webster board asks attorneys to review zoning ordinance for legal compliance
Summary
Following a closed session to consult town attorneys, the Board reached consensus to request that town attorneys review the Zoning Ordinance and recommend revisions to ensure compliance with current case law; no formal revisions were adopted at the meeting.
The Board entered Closed Session at 7:10 p.m. under NCGS § 143-318.11(a)(3) to consult with the Town Attorney and returned to Open Session at 7:20 p.m.; minutes record that no formal action was taken during the closed session. After returning to open session the Board reached consensus to ask the Town’s attorneys to review the Town’s Zoning Ordinance and identify revisions necessary to ensure compliance with current case law.
The request was framed as direction for the town’s legal counsel to prepare recommendations; the Board did not consider or adopt specific ordinance language at the June 4 meeting. The next steps are for the attorneys to report back with recommendations, after which the Board may schedule further review or a public hearing if statutory changes are proposed.
