CHARLOTTE, N.C. (March 12, 2024) — The Charlotte Planning, Design & Development Department is pleased to announce the release of three significant deliverables for Community Area Planning, marking the conclusion of the second phase of a five-part process over two years.
The deliverables include:
- A revised draft of the Charlotte Future 2040 Policy Map to reflect community comments.
- The Charlotte Future 2040 Policy Map Manual.
- Staff responses to comments received during phase two engagement of Community Area Planning. Stakeholders may access staff comments online.
The Charlotte Future 2040 Policy Map serves as a vital companion to the Charlotte Future 2040 Comprehensive Plan, offering guidance on the appropriate type and intensity of development across the city.
