2026-022 — Rezoning in Charlotte, NC
This rezoning petition by Orange Barrel Media for the Charlotte Hornets involves approximately 7.96 acres in the uptown area. The current and proposed zoning are both UMUD-O SPA (uptown mixed-use district, optional, with site plan amendment), suggesting a technical or procedural adjustment rather than a substantive zoning change. Staff recommends approval pending resolution of a requested technical revision.
