What is the Charlotte UDO?

The City of Charlotte’s Unified Development Ordinance (UDO) is a set of regulations designed to guide our city’s future development.

Importantly, the UDO will guide growth to bring to life the vision of the Charlotte Future 2040 Comprehensive Plan policies. The UDO also builds from other City policies, including the Charlotte Moves: Strategic Mobility Plan, the Charlotte Streets Map, the Strategic Energy Action Plan, and the Tree Canopy Action Plan.

Above all, we have undertaken this multi-year effort to more effectively manage today’s growth and better plan for the future.
