New Development
Rules apply to new development within the Town and its extraterritorial jurisdiction. This includes submittals of site and subdivision plans and building permit requests for single family homes with more than 1 acre of disturbed land. Other land disturbing activities are considered case by case.
Plan submittals must include a completed nitrogen control plan. Nitrogen export calculations from the approved storm water plan are needed.
For technical assistance, call (919) 469-4030.

for present and future residents of the town and surrounding regions by limiting the amount
of pollutants including but not limited to nitrogen in stormwater runoff. Specific objectives
include: protection of riparian buffers, control of nitrogen export from development, control
of peak stormwater runoff, and the use of best management practices.
