Regulations To Guide Charlotte's Future Development

The Charlotte Unified Development Ordinance (UDO) is now in effect.

The adoption of the UDO was a city-wide effort to update the regulations that guide growth and development in Charlotte. The UDO combined eight development ordinances, including the zoning ordinance, into one set of regulations to make them clearer and easier to use.
