New UDO zoning rules take effect in Charlotte, NC: What it means

Charlotte's new Unified Development Ordinance (UDO) takes effect Thursday, June 1. The UDO, which was approved by Charlotte City Council last summer, impacts just about everything from building heights to the tree canopy, but the section that has everyone talking has to do with zoning laws and how it will affect neighborhoods in the Queen City. The UDO will lift certain restrictions on single-family home zoning laws, meaning developers could buy up homes and build multi-use duplexes, triplexes or quadruplexes. Some residents spoke out against the UDO, saying they're worried about gentrification, as well as higher housing costs and increased property taxes. Some leaders argued that adding multi-unit buildings doesn't necessarily mean more affordable housing, while others in favor of the UDO said they believe it could help curb Charlotte's housing shortage and lower housing costs by meeting the increased demand. Those opposed to the UDO also fear it could displace at-risk families as developers flip houses into modern duplexes to make more money. #WakeUpCLT #Charlotte READ MORE: https://www.wcnc.com/article/money/ma...
