East Inner

How were the priority goals for each neighborhood determined? Why is Goal 9: Retain our Identity and Charm not a key goal for the Elizabeth, Chantilly, and Plaza Midwood neighborhoods?

The Community Activity Center placetype sounds great in theory. It would be great to add midrise buildings with a "MIX of uses" to this neighborhood. However, I have observed several rezoning petitions where developers seek this placetype and are only interested in building income generating residential units without prioritizing the "mix of use" that the plan emphasizes. There were at least two rezoning petitions passed in this neighborhood for this placetype where non residential use is <1% of square footage.

How are the zoning regulations going to enforce this placetype, specifically the mix of uses, with developers?

It would be great to see something like a minimum sq footage % dedicated to uses other than residential in the zoning regulations.

The number one priority in 10 out of the 15 neighborhoods is for housing availability? There is no shortage of housing or apartments we have vancancies because they overbuilt! So the only reasonable conclusion is that the study suggests our housing prices are too high? That's capitalism...you can't control the market prices or the macro-economic environment. Just because I want to live in quail hollow doesn't give me the right or mean they should build cheap duplexes so I can. This study focuses on a far-left socialist agenda rather than real ways to improve the city. Genuinely curious how many tax dollars were spent on this study to tell us we need more of this race here and that race there. Charlotte councilemen let me save you some of our money in the future build bike lanes and improve walkability.

Signal prioritization!

If we want to incentivize more housing and continue to add to the housing supply we have got to start transitioning "traditional" single family housing within the Neighborhood 1 place types that are next to community and neighborhood centers to Neighborhood 2 place types. There is no reason to enshrine low density in these areas as they are the key to expanding walkability and transit use. Keeping these place types as Neighborhood 1 will only keep housing prices high and depress future growth within existing walkable neighborhoods. The new map has essentially not changed anything.

My priority is to have my community left alone. Not overbuilt and drained of all that makes it a pleasant and safe space. Development is going to ruin Charlotte if it continues at its current pace.
