The zoning classification for a parcel of property is set by the governing body for the jurisdiction in which the property lies. That same governing body has the authority to re-zone property. There is a formal process which must be followed in doing so. A property owner can initiate the re-zoning process by contacting the agency designated by the governing body for processing such a request. The Charlotte-Mecklenburg Planning Commission is the designated agency for the City of Charlotte and (unincorporated) Mecklenburg County.
