This section is intended to implement the provisions of G.S. 160D-108 and 160D-108.1 pursuant to which a statutory zoning vested right is established upon the approval of a site specific vesting plan approved after November 4, 1991. For the purpose of this section, a site specific vesting plan is defined as a plan of land development submitted to the county for purposes of obtaining a special use permit or land use permit, following the applicable procedures for each process established in the LDC. Notwithstanding the foregoing, neither a variance, a sketch plan nor any other document that fails to describe with reasonable certainty the type and intensity of use for a specific parcel or parcels of property shall constitute a site specific vesting plan. A zoning vested right is defined as a right pursuant to G.S. 160D-108 and 160D-108.1 to undertake and complete the development and use of property under the terms and conditions of an approved site specific vesting plan.
