Charlotte Zoning Meeting · City Council Zoning Meeting on 2026-04-20 5:00 PM - Apr 20, 2026 · 20 Apr 2026 meeting

In this case, we are not actually denying the zoning committee recommendation because we're actually voting in accordance with the recommendation of the zoning committee.

So in that case, I will ask if there is any discussion on the motion.

Yes.

Well, this petition is inconsistent with the 2040 policy map.

Mr. Masuera, adios.

Thank you, Council Member Driggs.

I am motioning to deny this petition and to support staff's recommendation because we are currently saturated with gas stations in District 5, and like I've mentioned to my colleagues before, I think we need more amenities and more third spaces for community to gather.

And as we...

have approved a sales tax that will fund more public transportation options.

We need to become a less car-reliant city and really embrace walking 10-minute neighborhoods as well as buses and rail and transportation.

And so those are the reasons to enhance the quality of life for District 5 residents that I'm motioning to deny this petition.

Thank you.

There's no further discussion.

The motion having been made and seconded.

All in favor of the motion to deny?

That is...

Any opposed?

That is unanimous.

Okay.
