Charlotte Seeks Community Input on Remaining 2040 Community Area Plans

Charlotte's historic Wesley Heights neighborhood stands as a testament to the city's rich architectural heritage.

 

As part of the ongoing Charlotte Future 2040 Comprehensive Plan, the city is actively seeking resident feedback on the remaining Community Area Plans (CAPs).

 

These plans are designed to provide neighborhood-level guidance on land use, design, transportation, and infrastructure.

 

In November 2025, the Charlotte City Council approved seven of the 14 proposed CAPs.

 

Now, attention turns to the remaining seven plans, which include:

 

East Middle & Outer

 

North Inner

 

North Middle & Outer

 

Northeast Middle & Outer

 

West Inner

 

West Middle

 

West Outer

 

To facilitate community engagement, the city has scheduled three workshops in February:

 

February 12, 6–7:30 p.m. at West Charlotte High School (2219 Senior Drive)

 

February 17, noon to 1 p.m. (Virtual Session)

 

February 19, 6–7:30 p.m. at Julius Chambers High School (7600 IBM Drive)

 

These workshops offer residents a platform to discuss their neighborhood plans and provide input on recommendations aimed at protecting communities and reducing environmental impacts.

 

For those unable to attend, additional engagement opportunities include:

 

Short Survey: Community members can complete a brief survey to share their thoughts.

 

Paper surveys are also available at Charlotte Mecklenburg Library locations for those preferring 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.

 

In the Wesley Heights neighborhood, part of the West Inner area plan, recent developments have sparked community interest.

 

The transformation of the historic Wesley Heights Methodist Church into a unique condominium complex, known as The Arches, exemplifies the blend of preservation and modernization.

 

Additionally, the neighborhood has seen the introduction of new establishments like The Bevery, Charlotte's first seltzery, and Rocket Pizza, enhancing the area's vibrant community life.

 

Residents are encouraged to participate in these workshops and engagement opportunities to ensure their voices are heard in shaping the future of their neighborhoods.
