1) City of Charlotte Seeking Individuals to Serve on Key Advisory Committees 

The City of Charlotte is seeking applicants for several key committees that provide guidance to elected officials on important development-related activities.  If your knowledge and skill set are a good fit, please consider applying for one of the available positions.

Unified Development Ordinance Advisory Committee (UAC)

The UAC, a newly created committee, would provide guidance to Staff and Council as modifications are made to the recently adopted UDO.  As such, it is crucial there be adequate representation from those who regularly participate in and have a broad understanding of the development and land use process.

Charlotte Mecklenburg Planning Commission

The Planning Commission was formed by an Interlocal Agreement as a planning advisory body to the City of Charlotte and Mecklenburg County in 1954.  Its primary responsibility is to advise council on short and long-range land use and design plans and general planning matters, including land use, zoning, land development, transportation/transit, economic development and community facilities. The Planning Commission primarily conducts its business in two committees: The Planning Committee and the Zoning Committee.

  • evaluates capital and operational programs and budgets
