Charlotte City Council · City Council Business Meeting on 2025-11-24 5:30 PM - Nov 24, 2025 · 24 Nov 2025 meeting

And at least, for example, that would give Mr. Graham a chance to advocate for the plans in his area.

And it feels to me like that solution makes more sense than trying to do anything in one fell swoop.

So I think when the time comes, my suggestion would be that we vote on the ones that are offered for approval

without the action on the other ones, and that we consider the other plans, bring them up one at a time, say, okay, this is this one, where do we stand, and if it is the will of council to defer those, we should.

But the impression I have from staff and also from talking to people otherwise is a couple of these are in this sort of pending situation because of what sounds like language issues or local area issues, and

I really wonder whether the people who are advocating in those situations intend for those to be deferred.

So I hope we'll be thoughtful about the deferrals, but I would at least hope that we can do them deliberately and consider them one at a time and then pass this recommended group immediately.

Good evening Madam Mayor and members of City Council and citizens of Charlotte Mecklenburg.

Thank you for the opportunity to speak.

I speak this evening in representation of the West Boulevard Neighborhood

Seversville, Smallwood, Biddleville, Historic West End, and yes, West Boulevard.

We're not a blank slate.

We are the blueprint.

Tonight, I urge you to

what we've endured, homes pressed against industries, heat without shade, zoning without protection, and we're asking for protection of single-family neighborhoods' character by disallowing the overabundance of duplexes and triplexes.

But it also reflects what we demand, clear land use boundaries, cooling infrastructures, and environmental justice more than just buzzwords.

This is not just a cap update, it's a moral moment.

So we don't just ask you to vote, we ask you to remember,

And when history turns this page, let it say that Charlotte did not bundle its future, but honored its communities.

Thank you.
