Mecklenburg County Zoning Meetings

Mecklenburg County Commission, Charlotte City Council, and the Charlotte-Mecklenburg Planning Commission are tracked by ZoneWire for rezoning requests, variances, conditional use permits, annexation petitions, and UDO amendments.

Mecklenburg County has approximately 7 zoning-related meetings per month across the County Commission, Charlotte City Council, and the Planning Commission.

Charlotte adopted the Unified Development Ordinance (UDO) to modernize its zoning code. UDO amendments modify development standards for specific areas, often related to transit-oriented development along the LYNX light rail corridor.

The most active development areas in Mecklenburg County are South End and the LYNX Blue Line corridor for transit-oriented mixed-use projects, NoDa for infill development, and the University City area near UNC Charlotte for suburban densification. These zones see frequent rezoning petitions.

Important zoning terms for Mecklenburg County include UDO amendment, rezoning petition, conditional district, TOD (Transit-Oriented Development), annexation, MUDD (Mixed-Use Development District), and overlay district. ZoneWire tracks all of these automatically across every Mecklenburg County governing body.
