Residents turn to old tool in legal fight to block duplex, triplex construction

Some Charlotte residents are turning to the courts to try and restrict the building of duplexes and triplexes in their neighborhoods. Under the city’s new development rules, those multifamily units are allowed to be built in areas previously zoned only for single-family homes. City leaders adopted the new rules three years ago to guide Charlotte’s growth and encourage more density. For more, we turn to Ashley Fahey of The Charlotte Ledger for our segment, BizWorthy.

What's the big deal about Charlotte street vendors? See what led to new sweeping ban

After more than a year of debate over Charlotte street vendors — from taco stands to sidewalk artists — city leaders made a sweeping decision this week: street vending is now banned, except in designated marketplaces that require a permit. The Observer’s Nick Sullivan reported the City Council voted 8-1 on Monday , with rule-breakers now facing $500 fines. Why has this been such a contentious issue that split business owners, residents and vendors themselves? How NoDa became ‘turf war’ over Charlotte street vendors Much of the controversy centered on NoDa, where vendors have long been part of the neighborhood’s artsy identity — and increasingly, part of its friction. The Observer’s Mary Ramsey reported last summer that business owners said the problems grew serious enough to threaten their livelihoods . Chris Wade, operations manager at Cabo Fish Taco’s North Davidson Street location, told the Observer in June 2025 that vendors blocked sidewalks, pulled away paying customers, cooked food without health inspections and sometimes engaged in “turf wars” that have turned violent. Wade pointed to a 2023 shooting outside his restaurant — an incident that left two people hospitalized on a busy Friday evening — as a turning point in the

Will your Charlotte neighborhood trees be clear-cut for billboards? Here's a list

Charlotte and state leaders are requesting that billboard owners put a pause on cutting trees to improve visibility to their signs. The request comes after Adams Outdoor Advertising cut down a 500-foot stretch of trees — perhaps more than 100 trees — to improve visibility of a billboard along U.S. 74 or Independence Boulevard in Plaza Midwood. The tree clearing caused a massive outcry from local businesses owners along Commonwealth Avenue and residents. Business owners said the trees blocked out noise and pollution coming from the highway. There are 40 active permits around Mecklenburg County where Adams Outdoor and Lamar Outdoor either intend to cut trees or have already. The Plaza Midwood site is one of those places. Here’s a list of the active permits that were issued between July 14 and Nov. 2:

CMS assured parents that school is safe from mold. Then a mom commissioned her own tests

Students at a Charlotte-Mecklenburg school are spending another year in a building plagued by complaints of extreme heat and suspected mold, with parents questioning whether the district has done enough to address potentially unsafe conditions. At Chantilly Montessori, a former teacher says classroom temperatures soared to 95 degrees, while independent testing commissioned by parents has since identified elevated mold indicators in two classrooms. Despite months of complaints about the aging building, Charlotte-Mecklenburg Schools maintains that its own testing found no concerning airborne mold levels. The school with about 300 students on East Independence Boulevard is scheduled to move into a renovated building in August 2027, after which the existing Chantilly campus will be demolished. Until then, students and staff will continue using the aging facility, built in 1951. CMS did not respond to The Charlotte Observer’s requests for comment about the conditions, the district’s testing or its plans to address parents’ concerns. Charlotte parents seek answers about mold Sasha Vater, whose son attends Chantilly Montessori, said her concerns began when his teacher unexpectedly left her job just days before classes started in August. Vater said the teacher had warned her about suspected mold in the building’s HVAC system and recurring
