What is Spot Zoning?

Record #:
18403
Abstract:
Spot zoning is zoning that does not accord with a comprehensive plan or is sharply different from the zoning of surrounding or nearby properties, or appears to favor or punish a particular property owner. The concept is rooted in the North Carolina constitutional provisions that prohibit the grant of exclusive privileges.
