This petition proposes text amendments to the Charlotte Zoning Ordinance, specifically modifying Article 13, "Nonconformities." The amendments aim to streamline and clarify regulations pertaining to nonconforming situations, structures, and uses, ensuring better alignment with current planning goals and facilitating more efficient property management within the city. Key changes include updated definitions, revised standards for the continuation and expansion of nonconformities, and clearer processes for their legal recognition and eventual conformance. This citywide amendment will impact a broad range of existing properties and future development by providing a more coherent framework for addressing nonconforming elements.
