Rezoning Petition 2024-146, proposed by Panthers Stadium, LLC, seeks to rezone approximately 25.30 acres from UC (Uptown Core) to UC(EX) (Uptown Core, Exception) in Charlotte, NC, for the redevelopment and expansion of existing stadium facilities, including the Bank of America Stadium. The proposed UC(EX) zoning allows for a diverse range of uses, such as stadium operations, practice facilities, event spaces, wagering facilities, live performance venues, restaurants/bars, retail, personal services, offices, reception facilities, mobile food vendors, and lodging. This conditional rezoning (EX provisions) modifies standard zoning requirements for elements like blank wall areas and transparency levels. It includes commitments to significant public benefits, notably the creation of publicly accessible open space that is 25% greater than ordinance requirements. Additionally, the project incorporates two new pedestrian pathways to enhance mobility and connectivity within this dense urban area: one between Morehead Street and Mint Street, and another extending from the practice facilities to Graham Street. The plan also dedicates areas for public art features within the open spaces. Staff recommended approval, deeming the petition consistent with the 2040 Policy Map's Regional Activity Center Place Type designation. The Zoning Committee unanimously voted 7-0 to recommend approval of this petition.
