THE CITY CONTINUES TO SERVE YOU
The CLT Development Center continues to maintain plan review, permitting and field inspections as allowed by the stay-at-home order. For the last several weeks, we continue to make modifications to the ways we deliver services to protect customers, staff and the community.
Requests and scheduling for virtual meetings for urban and commercial pre submittals continues to be offered. Please contact Nan Peterson, Business Relation Manager,

In order to ensure the success of an Enhanced Subdivision or Urban Submittal, prior to submitting please contact Nan Peterson via email at
npeterson@charlottenc.gov with the details of the project. She will distribute to the review team so they are aware of the project and if there are any outstanding questions or concerns, they can be addressed prior to the submittal. This will, also, allow for a staggering of submittals (if needed) so that one review team is not overwhelmed with Enhanced projects.

Expedited plats can be submitted at any time
A key modification to field staff operation has been an increased focus and emphasis on physical distancing and if necessary, rescheduling of field inspections. Where it is not possible to maintain 6 feet of distance or if this distance is violated, the inspector may request the work area be cleared while he or she conducts the inspection. Failure to clear the area may result in the denial of inspection and the inspection will be rescheduled. When appropriate, an inspector may choose to return to the site when there are less construction team members working (early morning or late afternoon). We thank you for your understanding. The City is here to serve our customers and partner with you to keep projects moving forward while ensuring everyone’s safety.
Plan review fees may be mailed or delivered by Federal Expressed/UPS to the Charlotte-Mecklenburg Government Center, 600 E. Fourth St. in Charlotte. For additional information regarding land development fees, please contact the CLT Development Center or the Planning, Design and Development Department. Staff will continue to review plans with the understanding that there may be delays in fee submittals. Plans will be submitted to gateway if the only outstanding requirement is fee payment. The expectation is that fees will be paid upon plan approval. p>
