Sherrill v. Town of Wrightsville Beach
Court of Appeals of North Carolina

1Opinion of the Court
PARKER, Judge.
Plaintiffs assign error to the ruling by the trial court that any challenge to the ordinance originally zoning plaintiffs’ property for single-family dwellings only was barred by the applicable statute of limitations since the ordinance was in effect at the time plaintiffs acquired their interest in the properties. The Town of Wrightsville Beach passed its first zoning ordinance in 1972. Plaintiffs’ property was included in an R-l district, which at that time permitted duplexes. The ordinance was amended in 1975 to delete duplexes as a permissible use in R-l districts.
