SUBMITTAL PRE-REQUISITES

Prior to submittal for commercial plan review, there are a number of site specific pre-requisites that should be verified by the developer or design professional:

• Does the site have correct zoning for proposed land use?  Visit the Zoning Administration website to obtain information regarding Zoning.  The City of Charlotte Zoning Ordinance describes the various zoning classifications.  
• Is a Rezoning required for the property? Find more information about the rezoning process at Rezoning.org
• Does the proposed project require a Land Use Permit?  The Zoning Ordinance Table 9.101, Table of Uses lists what types of uses are permitted with or without a special permit. Contact Commercial Zoning with further questions.
• Does the property need to be subdivided?    Find more info about Subdivisions at Planning Department's website.
• Is a Floodplain Development Permit required? Mecklenburg County LUESA handles floodplain management.  To determine if your site is in a floodplain visit LUESA's flood mapping site.
• Are wetlands or streams impacted by the project? Environmental permits from USACE/DWQ may be required.  Find out more information at North Carolina DWQ's website.
