in addition to Intervenors’ claims that (1) Intervenors are the owners of property that is “contiguous” or near the Property, and that (2) the development of the Property in the absence of the “performance controls” that would be required in the event that the Property was found to be in or associated with a Conservation Overlay District will “significantly increase[] traffic, light pollution, noise and other related pollution that will all lead to a pecuniary loss in the value” of Intervenors’ properties, satisfies the requirements of N.C. Gen. Stat. § 1A-1, Rule 24(a)(2). As a result, we conclude that the trial court did not err by granting Intervenors’ motion to intervene pursuant to N.C. Gen. Stat. § 1A-1, Rule 24(a)(2). See Councill, 146 N.C. App. at 107, 551 S.E.2d at 910 (<HOLDING>). B. Intervenors’ Appeal In reviewing the
