AN ACT to limit the AREA of impervious surface of CERTAIN parking lots.
The General Assembly of North Carolina enacts:
SECTION 1.  G.S. 143‑214.7 is amended by adding a new subsection to read:
"(d1)	A parking lot for which a stormwater permit is required under G.S. 143-215.1 may not consist of more than fifty percent (50%) impervious surface area for the portion of the parking lot that is used for vehicular parking and for ingress and egress to the parking lot and parking spaces. The limitation on the amount of impervious surface shall not take into account landscaped areas associated with the parking lot. This provision shall apply only to parking lots that provide space for the parking of 10 or more vehicles."
SECTION 2.  This act is effective when it becomes law and applies to all construction that is subject to any stormwater permit issued on or after 1 October 2003.
