City of Charlotte weighs zoning change for Panthers Stadium renovation, residential development amid concerns
CHARLOTTE (QUEEN CITY NEWS) — City staff has recommended council approve applications from the Panthers Stadium LLC and Greystar Development.
However, some on the city council are worried about building residential properties in the airport overlay zone and others are concerned about access around Bank of America Stadium.
The $1.3 billion renovations to the Bank of America stadium were approved by the council back in June. The council still needs to approve the zoning change in order for the work to move forward and be in compliance with the current UDO.

The original zoning was approved in the 90s and the exception would allow for changes to transportation, building, and environmental regulations on the 25+ acre site.
Greystar wants to build over 300 apartments off Queen City Drive near Charlotte-Douglas International Airport. But council members are concerned about air and noise pollution. In addition, the buildings would be in the flight path of planes once a new runway is complete.
