The proposed change was one of 53 modifications that council members floated at a special meeting Monday.
Some council members wanted to delay the already postponed timeline for the plan, to provide more time for them to talk to constituents and come up with new ideas.
Ultimately another delay didn t occur, and council members unleashed how they felt about certain aspects of the plan, especially for zoning plans. This is about reality versus fantasy, Councilman Braxton Winston said, who wants to get rid of single-family zoning. And many of you are speaking in fantastical terms and not dealing with the actual reality of the folks in your district.

CHARLOTTE, N.C. (WBTV) - A new timeline for passing Charlotteâs controversial 2040 Comprehensive Plan has been set by City Manager Marcus Jones.
Jones made the announcement in a memo sent Thursday. In it, he proposed holding two special meetings for the City Council to discuss the plan. The first special meeting is scheduled for Monday, May 10, while the second is scheduled for the following Monday, May 17.
The rules conflict.
People aren t supposed to be getting too close and indoor gatherings are supposed to be well below capacity.
For Cadillac, that means a public meeting in council chambers in the city s municipal building would be hard to pull off if even a small crowd showed up to speak, as is their right.
But the Open Meetings Act makes it difficult to hold remote meetings without good reason; one of the reasons, however, is a state of emergency, according to amendments to the Act. This local state of emergency runs concurrent with the amendments that were made to the Open Meetings Act, said City Attorney Mike Homier. You re not required to continue holding virtual meetings but it does give not only the public bodyâthe City Councilâflexibility to continue holding virtual meetings, but also any of the city council members who may not be available can attend virtually.

A WBTV Investigation shows City Manager Marcus Jones has missed his own deadlines for providing new information about Charlotteâs Transformational Mobility Network.
At the start of 2021, few City of Charlotte priorities had more attention than the Transformational Mobility Network.
But lately the project has gone missing from council agendas and updates promised regarding the estimated cost of the project and legislation to get a proposed one cent sales tax approved have been not come to fruition.
