Public Interest Development District

It is the purpose and intent of this Section to permit the creation of Public Interest Development Districts (PID) in areas designated by the City Council as having special and substantial public interest, by virtue of unique environmental, economic, cultural, entertainment, or other characteristics or conditions not generally shared by other areas of the City. It is further intended that such districts and the regulations established therein shall be in accord with and promote the policies set forth in the City’s Comprehensive Plan. Because the PID addresses situations which affect the entire region, which create intermittent or unusual impacts and public benefits, and which require flexibility in the administration of land use regulations, and in order to avoid the potential for abuse of the PID rezoning process, it is the intent of this Section that only the existing PID districts, will be permitted within the jurisdiction of the City. The three PID districts are: Charlotte Motor Speedway as adopted in City Council ordinance 99-13 that incorporated zoning case Z-37-98. The standards and provisions of the ordinance and zoning case are incorporated into this ordinance by reference as if written out herein; Carolinas Medical Center Northeast; Cabarrus County Arena and Events Center
