AN ACT TO CLARIFY THAT THE GENERAL LAW APPLIES TO ANNEXATION OF CERTAIN PARCELS OF LAND BY THE TOWN OF MATTHEWS, TO EXEMPT THOSE PARCELS FROM PRIOR LOCAL ACTS CONCERNING ZONING JURISDICTION AND TO MAKE A TECHNICAL CORRECTION IN A BILL MOVING CERTAIN PARCELS FROM MATTHEWS TO CHARLOTTE.

The General Assembly of North Carolina enacts:

Section 1.  Nothing in Chapter 567 of the 1989 Session Laws or any other local act prohibits annexation by the Town of Matthews of Mecklenburg County tax parcels 215-062-01, 215-062-02, 215-063-01, or 215-081-15.  Annexation of such parcels is governed by Article 4A of Chapter 160A of the General Statutes, and this section conveys no annexation authority beyond that of Article 4A of Chapter 160A of the General Statutes.
Section 2.  Except for tax parcels 215-062-01, 215-062-02, 215-063-01, and 215-081-15 as they exist on the effective date of this act, the authority of Chapter 161 of the 1991 Session Laws is extended to the area previously limited by Section 4 of that act.
Effective June 30, 1997, Section 1 of S.L. 1997-220 reads as rewritten:
"Section 1.  The following described property is removed from the corporate limits of the Town of Matthews and is added to the corporate limits of the City of Charlotte:
The Waters property, Mecklenburg County tax parcels 227-362-97 and 227-362-99 and the Maynard property, Mecklenburg County tax parcel 227-141-08."
Section 3.  This act is effective when it becomes law.
