This webpage is host to all LDO Text Amendments initiated during 2025, both by Applicants or Town Staff. Text Amendments ultimately get incorporated into the full LDO and a new "version" - marked by the Revision date - is created and published on the Town website here - https://www.rolesvillenc.gov/land-development-ordinance-and-town-code - under the first 'accordion' drop down menu titled "Land Development Ordinance (LDO)". For a short period of time, a Text Amendment approved by the Board of Commissioners (where effective date is immediate, meaning the date of the Approval) will be a stand-alone piece of the LDO not incorporated into the full Published document - for that time-being, the stand-alone Amendments will reside here - https://www.rolesvillenc.gov/land-development-ordinance-and-town-code - under the second 'accordion' drop down menu titled "LDO Text Amendments (TA's)" until the next wholesale revision and re-publishing of the LDO occurs, which would then bear a new 'version' and Revision date.
