The Charlotte City Council held a public hearing Monday night on whether to approve a rezoning plan that would allow Chick-fil-A to demolish its existing restaurant in Cotswold and replace it with a drive-through-only building. The upcoming vote is seen as a key test of the city’s commitment to its goal of reducing the number of car trips.
The plan calls for Charlotte to give $8 million from its American Rescue Plan money to Central NOAH LLC to buy and renovate the Peppertree Apartments on Central Avenue.
