Zoning case (rezoning petition)
A zoning case, called a rezoning petition in Charlotte, is an application to change the zoning district or the permitted use of a parcel. It goes to a planning commission and then the city council, with public hearings, and it is public from the day it is filed.
Why it matters for a lead
A rezoning for height or density is the earliest filed signal that a parcel is going to be developed, often a year before a permit. It names the applicant and the agent, usually a land-use attorney or the developer's planner.
