Charlotte, NC
Search the Charlotte zoning and rezoning cases log by street or address. See what's been filed and where it stands: case status, proposed versus existing zoning, the filing and decision dates, and the official city link, straight from Charlotte Planning, Design & Development. Built to revisit: it opens on the city's most recent active cases.
A zoning case can change what gets built next door: height, density, use, traffic. Neighbors and neighborhood associations track filings near them so they can speak at the hearing while it still matters. Developers and land-use consultants check nearby activity and precedent before they file. Real-estate, title, and lending professionals confirm what is pending on a parcel. Reporters watch the docket. Commercial services charge a monthly subscription to do this; the city's data is public, so this tool is free.
A request to change a property's zoning district, or to amend an adopted neighborhood plan. Cases move through staff review, public notice, and hearings before the Charlotte planning commission and city council before they are approved, denied, or withdrawn.
It is pulled live from Charlotte Planning, Design & Development each time you search. Nothing is cached on our end. The "Updated" date on each case is the city's own last status change.
The first code is the property's current base district; the second is what the applicant has asked for. Codes like SF-3 or GR are Charlotte base zones. The tool expands them to plain English wherever the city's own zoning glossary covers the code.
Only properties with a filed case appear. Try the street name on its own, or a nearby cross-street. Most properties have no open zoning case at any given time. That is normal, not an error.
It is the owner of record as the city filed the case, which can lag a recent sale. For current ownership, check the Mecklenburg County appraisal district or use the parcel-lookup tool.
Yes. Every case links straight to the Charlotte Open Mapping, where you can read the filing, staff reports, and the hearing schedule.
