Charlotte continues to grow rapidly as the hub of the metropolitan region. To meet the quality of life challenges of this growth, the Charlotte City Council adopted the Transportation Action Plan (TAP) to support the City’s Centers and Corridors Growth Strategy. CDOT’s role is to implement the plans and policies adopted by City Council in a way that integrates transportation and land use planning, provides transportation choices, promotes quality urban design, and promotes good access management. CDOT accomplishes this through the City's land development programs.
Rezoning property provides a means to either implement adopted land use plans or meet market demand for real estate development. The Charlotte-Mecklenburg Planning Commission (CMPC) administers the City’s rezoning process for property within the City and its extraterritorial jurisdiction (ETJ). CDOT works in concert with the CMPC to provide a quality review of all development proposals.
CDOT staff evaluates how proposed developments will affect transportation operations and safety. We also ensure that new development is well connected to the community and is accessible by walking, bicycling, public transit and motorized vehicles.
