This Amendment does all of the following: (1) Makes technical corrections to each of the parcel numbers listed in Section 1 of this Act. (2) Provides in Section 2 of this Act that, once removed from the territorial limits of the Town of Cheswold, these parcels are zoned “AR – Agricultural Residential”, as established under the ordinances of Kent County. (3) Provides in Section 3 of this Act that this Act takes effect on July 1, 2026. This Act requires a greater than majority vote for passage because § 1 of Article IX of the Delaware Constitution requires the affirmative vote of two-thirds of the members elected to each house of the General Assembly to amend a municipal charter, whether directly, by amendment to a specific municipality’s charter, or indirectly, by a general law.
