This Chapter shall be known and may be cited as the North Carolina Planned Community Act. History (1998-199, s. 1.) NORTH CAROLINA COMMENT This Act is based, in part, on the provisions of the Uniform Planned Community Act. Many sections, however, have been substantially revised from those that appear in the Uniform Act. Some other sections marked "Reserved" contained provisions which were included in the Uniform Act but were deemed inappropriate for inclusion in this Act. Because of these differences, the Official Comments to the Uniform Act have not been included. It is understood and intended that any development which incorporates or permits horizontal boundaries or divisions between the physical portions of the planned community designated for separate ownership or occupancy will be created under and governed by the North Carolina Condominium Act and not this Act.
