As its name suggests, a quasi-judicial decision is like a court decision in several important ways. It requires the deciding board to use its judgment in applying general law to a particular land use situation while ensuring the constitutional due process rights of the parties. This handbook is designed as a guide for boards making development regulation decisions through the quasi-judicial process. The discussion covers the process prior to, during, and after the evidentiary hearing as well as the decision itself. Other topics include the board of adjustment, variances, special use permits, certificates of appropriateness, appeals of zoning determinations, and judicial review. A package of 5 books is available for a discounted price for those looking to purchase copies for their entire board.

The new Chapter 160D of the North Carolina General Statutes consolidates current city- and county-enabling statutes for development regulations (now in Chapters 153A and 160A) into a single, unified chapter. Chapter 160D places these statutes into a more logical, coherent organization. While the new law does not make major policy changes or shifts in the scope of authority granted to local governments, it does provide many clarifying amendments and consensus reforms that will need to be incorporated into local development regulations.

In the early 2000s, community leaders in Knightdale, North Carolina, looked down First Avenue and saw an opportunity to rebuild the town's main street. A fire in the 1940s destroyed much of the traditional downtown, and suburban expansion in the late 20th century directed public and private investment elsewhere. But the community had a vision to reestablish a vibrant downtown. An ongoing planning effort, including a comprehensive plan and downtown plan, helped the town secure $20 million in public improvements in downtown. The resulting walkable main street and community park have catalyzed more than $250 million in private investment to date and enabled the town to create a vibrant new central gathering place for the community.\nAcross North Carolina, communities like Knightdale are using the power of planning to improve their communities in ways large and small. But often, the hardest part is getting started. This guidebook describes how to prepare an impactful and streamlined plan for the future. In so doing, communities can develop a shared vision that energizes local stakeholders and catalyzes lasting community improvements.

As its name suggests, a quasi-judicial decision is like a court decision because it requires the deciding board to use its judgment in applying general law to a particular land use situation while ensuring the constitutional due process rights of the parties. The Quasi-Judicial Handbook provides guidance to the boards in North Carolina that make these development regulation decisions. It outlines the steps that need to be followed before, during, and after an evidentiary hearing and closely examines the decision-making process itself. Four types of quasi-judicial decisions are explored in detail: variances, special use permits, certificates of appropriateness, and appeals of zoning determinations. Other topics include the role and organization of boards of adjustment and judicial review. This revised edition incorporates statutory and case law updates through July 2023, including the adoption of Chapter 160D in 2019.
