Latest Charlotte growth plan draft includes changes to single-family zoning proposal Danielle Chemtob, The Charlotte Observer May 20—Charlotte leaders unveiled the latest draft Thursday of a plan designed to guide how the city develops over the next two decades, with changes to some of the most controversial provisions. The 2040 Comprehensive Plan, first unveiled in the fall, outlines a series of goals, from preserving tree canopy to access to transportation, and strategies to implement them. But the plan has drawn the ire of developers, who say they are worried that some of its proposals will increase the cost of development. A number of residents, though, are worried about a provision that will allow duplexes and triplexes in single-family areas, which could accelerate gentrification or affect the character of their neighborhoods. Meanwhile, a group of housing and neighborhood advocates has pushed for neighborhoods to have more of a say in the development that impacts them.
