Zoning Map, What is it?
A Zoning Map is a map that shows Zoning Designations for the City of Charlotte and its Sphere of Influence.  The Zoning Maps are rectangular maps based on the NC State Plan Coordinate System.  The numbering system starts in the northern part of Mecklenburg County and ends up in the southern part of the County.  There are 145 Zoning Maps. (not all Zoning Map Numbers are within the City of Charlotte's Zoning jurisdiction)  Zoning Maps are updated after the Charlotte City Council approves a Rezoning Petition.

- The City of Charlotte Zoning Maps are in PDF Format, you must have Adobe Acrobat Reader

Zoning Maps - How to View: (Please note; ONLY those map tiles covering "Charlotte's Sphere of Influence" (tiles shown in light gray or blue) will generate a separate tile window showing the official zoning map.) Mecklenburg's other small towns all have their own individual zoning map systems Click on this link shown; Zoning Map Index Grid (below) or click anywhere on the County Sphere of Influence Map (below). When the actual 'interactive' index is regenerated  by Adobe's Acrobat window, use any of the zoom/pan tools to identify  your area of interest (on this index); Once you have determined  the grid area(s) or grid number(s), click inside that tile's rectangular box  with the 'hand pointer'  to open the official zoning map for that area/grid number. The zoom/pan tools can also be utilized to examine a more detailed section of this map tile.   To Print only a "portion" of a map, Use the Acrobat Zoom command and zoom to your specified area.  Then in the Acrobat Print window select "Current View".

- These Zoning Maps are periodically updated due to Zoning changes.
