and I am the division manager for the

code enforcement division at the city of
0:11
Charlotte in this video we'll be talking
0:13
about the city of Charlotte's zoning
0:15
code ordinance
What is the purpose of the Zoning Code Ordinance?
0:16
the zoning code ordinance ensures that
0:18
building happens in the right place
0:19
without ordinances a factory might be
0:22
built in the middle of a park or a
0:24
nightclub next to a school
0:25
zoning ensures that the way a property
0:27
is used supports the safety and
0:29
well-being of its surrounding
0:30
neighborhood
