City of Charlotte to Host Events for 2040 Community Area Plans

The historic Wesley Heights neighborhood falls within the West Inner area plan.

The City of Charlotte is seeking resident feedback on the remaining Charlotte Future 2040 Community Area Plans by hosting three community events this February.

Developed in partnership with the community in response to the city’s rapid growth, these plans are a bold rethinking of how we approach city building in the future. There are 14 individual Community Area Plans, which provide neighborhood-level guidance for the built environment, including land use, design, transportation and infrastructure. In November 2025, Charlotte City Council approved and adopted seven of those plans.

The upcoming events will be an opportunity for the community to learn more and provide feedback for the remaining seven plans, which include:

  • East Middle & Outer
  • North Inner
  • North Middle & Outer
  • Northeast Middle & Outer
  • West Inner
  • West Middle
  • West Outer

Community Workshops

Each of the following workshops gives participants a chance to talk about their plans and provide input on new recommendations to protect neighborhoods and reduce environmental impacts.

  • February 12, 6–7:30 p.m. at West Charlotte High School (2219 Senior Drive) | Register online.
  • February 17, noon to 1 p.m. (Virtual Session) | Register online.

Additional Ways to Engage

Short Survey

Community members can complete a brief Community Area Planning Survey to share their thoughts. Paper surveys will also be available at Charlotte Mecklenburg Library locations for those who prefer a non-digital option.

Invite Planning Staff to Neighborhood Meetings

Planning staff are available to attend neighborhood meetings to present information, answer questions, and gather feedback directly from residents. Meeting requests can be submitted by emailing cltfuture2040@charlottenc.gov.
