§4360-B.__Rate of growth ordinances in designated rural areas

3.__Duration of ordinance.__A rate of growth ordinance affecting only areas of__a municipality designated as rural areas in an adopted, consistent comprehensive plan may remain in effect for the period of time the municipality considers consistent with its comprehensive plan.
