REBIC – An Invitation to Attend Charlotte UDO Text Amendment Information Sessions

From REBIC

Join the City of Charlotte UDO Community update session on January 6 at noon or January 8 at 6:00 pm for a proposed maintenance text amendment to the Unified Development Ordinance (UDO). Text Amendment #2025-118 revises the UDO to improve clarity, graphics, and standards related to land use, general development, and administrative processes (among others).

Revisions include:

• Updating land use rules as they pertain to neighborhood commercial establishments, outdoor markets, multi-dwelling developments, vehicle repair facilities, and accessory dwelling units.
• Clarifying the application of transparency, sidewall, and build-to-zone standards for certain uses/forms of development.
• Clarifying select standards for accessory structures, architectural features, driveway widths, landscape yards, screening for solid waste areas, green areas, and loading spaces.
• Adding new standards for solid waste and recycling service areas for certain forms of development.
• Making updates to comply with recent changes in state law related to the disapproval of rezoning petitions and nonconforming sign relocation.

Sign up for the session that suits you best!  

JANUARY 6: NOON SESSION (12PM-1PM)

JANUARY 8: 6 PM SESSION (6PM-7 PM)

 

Rob’s Take: If you can watch one of these sessions, I’d recommend it. I’d at least go back and watch the replay if you are not able to participate during the sessions. Also, if you are a REBIC member and are having specific challenges navigating Charlotte’s UDO, let me know about it. I may be able help and can definitely put you in touch with the right individuals to come up with a solution. If you are not a current member, and would like to inquire about the benefits, reach out to me.

Happy New Year!
