The
Compact Development provision proposed by Planning staff and discussed during a prior council and committee meeting, and ultimately approved by the Planning Commission's Zoning Committee was approved during last night's Charlotte City Council meeting. This
text amendment seeks to partially address the need for entry-level and workforce housing by allowing higher density developments in certain parts of the city. Next up will be a summer discussion of strategies to increase the amount of allowable townhome developments. We look forward to further engagement and are optimistic about the potential approval of another text amendment targeting this need this coming fall.
Our attention is also directed toward the City's Alignment Rezoning process that is already underway. City staff is hosting webinars this evening at 6:00 pm, tomorrow during the lunch hour, and again on Thursday at 2:00 pm.
Please take time to register and participate in one of these informational sessions.
