Bill > S1724

This bill proposes to modify the boundaries of Unit L06 in the John H. Chafee Coastal Barrier Resources System (CBRS) located in North Topsail Beach, North Carolina. Specifically, the Secretary of the Interior is required to update the official CBRS map within 30 days of the Act's enactment to exclude parcels of land that are designated by local zoning ordinances for purposes other than conservation. The bill defines "local zoning ordinance" as the zoning regulations in effect for North Topsail Beach at the time of enactment and clarifies that the changes apply only to areas within the town's municipal boundaries. The referenced map is part of the official CBRS map set dated November 25, 2024, and relates to Unit L06. By making these corrections, the bill allows certain parcels that were previously included in the coastal barrier resources system to be potentially used for development or other non-conservation purposes, while maintaining the overall conservation goals of the CBRS.
