Charlotte UDO Public Hearing Held Monday

Jul

UDO

On Monday, Charlotte's proposed Unified Development Ordinance (UDO) public hearing took place in the City Council Chambers.

Many in the audience turned out for the Public Forum portion of the plan, but several neighborhood activists were also on hand. That group mainly wanted to challenge the ordinance provision allowing for higher-density dwellings in single-family neighborhoods. REBIC supports a wide range of housing types and believes the development of additional units is necessary to meet current and future demand.

The City Council also voted 9-2 to adopt a policy providing source of income protections to prospective renters of properties developed using a taxpayer-provided subsidy, conveyance of property, or infrastructure reimbursement incentive such as a Tax Increment Grant (TIG). The policy seeks to promote the use of Housing Opportunity Vouchers that some property managers and landowners have been reluctant to accept. Proponents have argued the policy is necessary to eliminate a discriminatory practice. Opponents are concerned it will result in less affordable housing units for future development.
