From time to time, the Town of Fairmont may find it necessary to place a temporary hold on the issuance of development permits. This can be done while the land use regulations are being discussed and revised, to pause development while sufficient drinking water and wastewater capacities are developed to support future growth, and for other related reasons. G.S. § 160D-107 allows temporary development moratoria on “any development approval required by law.” This includes all zoning permits, land-subdivision plats, building permits, sign permits, and any other approvals required prior to development.
