Two For Tuesday | June 18, 2024
So Many Updates, So Little Space. A “Don’t Miss” Edition!
1. The Latest
Our goal is to educate you about relevant issues and give you access to important information. There were so many vital topics to cover this week we decided to do “Two for Tuesday PLUS.” We’ll point them out and you can decide which ones are important to you. Here’s our list of things YOU should know:
- Charlotte Unified Development Ordinance (UDO) Text Amendments – Last night during the Charlotte City Council Zoning meeting, rezoning petition #2024-033 also known as “Clean-up Text Amendment #3” was unanimously approved. Another item, rezoning petition #2024-067, the Compact Residential Development Text Amendment, to which we have provided significant input, also received a public hearing. While this measure is not a perfect solution it does bridge the gap until additional text amendments can be drafted that allow for additional higher density developments aimed at meeting attainable housing supply needs. The full Council is expected to vote on this amendment during next Monday night’s meeting.
- Town of Mooresville Comprehensive Plan Update – During last week’s HBAGC Land Development Council meeting we had an opportunity to hear from Mooresville Mayor Chris Carney. He spoke about the changes he’s been making since taking the helm back in December. During his remarks he also suggested our industry continue its engagement as the Town rewrites its comprehensive plan and UDO. Check out Mooresville Tomorrow for additional information. Spoiler alert: check back soon to hear about these issues on our next podcast.
