Most tenant-landlord relationships are perfectly stable and mutually beneficial when our job is done right, but inevitably, the courtroom has always been the final step in resolving an irreconcilable dispute. The male suspect exited the residence on Galway Drive with a firearm. Law enforcement officers perceived an imminent deadly threat and fired their service weapons striking the suspect in the front yard of the residence.
Districts not translating with udo
The zoning regulations in the UDO are crafted to be more easily understood. The UDO relies less on written text, and more on graphics and illustrations, to convey the various development standards to the casual user. The subdivision, streets, and other infrastructure articles (Articles 29-34) provide regulations for development activities within the City and its Extraterritorial Jurisdiction (ETJ).
Has my zoning changed?
Research has shown that supporting a greater mix of housing types is key to providing more opportunities for affordable housing. The OAC is a small group with interests and experience in community organization, real estate and development, and advocacy in the Charlotte area with a balance of perspectives. To be effective, the committee’s membership is limited to no more than 40 members, all of whom are appointed by the Planning Director. We’ve developed a series of handouts summarizing zoning districts in the UDO. If you knew your zoning under the old ordinance, you may see a new name today.
How does the Unified Development Ordinance (UDO) address Affordable Housing?
The Stormwater Administrator is responsible for carrying out the powers and duties outlined in these articles. Additionally, the Stormwater Administrator must provide information and recommendations relative to variances and respond to appeals from the UDO Board of Adjustment. Once you’ve chosen a legal team, it’s time to start gathering whatever evidence you have for the case. While every case is different, the best way to prepare for a legal dispute is to ensure strict document and filing protocols with your property management team to make sure everything is recorded and available as evidence. The vision and guiding principles of the UDO support affordable housing by encouraging a range of housing choices. In short, this includes housing that meet the needs of people with different incomes, ages, physical abilities and lifestyles.
Navigating Legal Issues With Your Property
Texting is an informal platform where correspondence could easily be missed and therefore interpreted as ignored. Property managers and owners should always have tenants use portals to submit repair requests through official channels. Eviction mills can process an uncontested case, sure, but if it is contested, you’ll want an experienced team that can handle the pressure of litigation. As is standard procedure with any officer involved shooting, the CMPD’s Internal Affairs Bureau will conduct a separate but parallel investigation. UDO University offered a series of virtual training opportunities to assist in learning about the UDO and to ask questions of subject matter experts.
What is the purpose and role of the Ordinance Advisory Committee?
Specific changes recommended for this draft are highlighted in green.
Most zoning districts changed on June 1, 2023 as Charlotte’s new development ordinance updated the City’s zoning map. The Unified Development Ordinance (UDO) that City Council approved last August included a transition or “translation” of old zoning districts to the new zoning districts of the unified ordinance. Use this map to see if a new zoning district applies to your property. The only zoning that did not change on June 1 were conditional, optional, and exception zoning districts that were previously rezoned with specific rules for development. Charlotte’s original zoning ordinance (before the UDO) was not always in alignment with the community’s vision for how development should occur, nor did it always reflect best practices for zoning regulations. The original zoning ordinance was often difficult to navigate and confusing for the occasional user.

Virtual session presentations and playbacks are now available at the link below. Recommended substantive changes to the Public Hearing Draft have been summarized in the matrix linked here. This summary does not include non-substantive changes such as grammatical corrections, spelling corrections, or scrivener’s errors, etc. The text of the Public Hearing Draft with recommended changes is available for review online at the CharlotteUDO.org website.
Numerous changes were made to the UDO between the release of the first draft in October 2021 and adoption in August 2022. Changes were based on feedback obtained from the community, City and County staff, the UDO Advisory Committee (OAC), Planning Commission, County Commission, and City Council. All the public comments submitted through the comment portal on both drafts were recorded and are available on the CharlotteUDO.org website. Staff worked to respond to and reconcile all comments and recommended changes based on the feedback received, where appropriate.
Additionally, it outlines the rules of construction, abbreviations, and definitions that are used throughout the UDO. The information provided here is not legal advice and does not purport to be a substitute for advice of counsel on any specific matter. For legal advice, you should consult with an attorney concerning your specific situation.
In addition, the UDO includes several other methods to achieve greater affordability including incentives, removing regulatory barriers, and providing higher density housing opportunities. The UDO was developed by staff from the City of Charlotte and Mecklenburg County, with feedback on concepts from the Ordinance Advisory Committee (OAC), community feedback, and consultant support from Camiros, Ltd. That’s why it’s essential to make an extra effort to keep yourself informed. One of the best ways to do that is to seek out educational seminars by the same legal experts that would best represent you in court. In a perfect world, there would be no text messaging with tenants, and all communication would be done through email correspondence or letters.
