Charlotte's airport development plan is too car-centric, planners say

Charlotte's planning staff has asked Crosland Southeast to design a less car-centric version of the "Destination District," the airport's nearly 40-acre development near the future Silver Line stop that could include multiple drive-thrus. Why it matters: Again, Charlotte is facing crossroads decisions that guide whether the city becomes more urban — or continues operating as a place where you're expected to own a car. Charlotte City Council is hosting a public hearing on the city-owned airport's rezoning request Monday, Nov. 16, where the developer may address some of these concerns. However, airport officials have been clear that they only intend to make the district so walkable due to traffic and FAA rules. The latest: The Destination District, envisioned as an "employment hub," is currently planned to include a mix of stores, restaurants, offices, hotels, a parking garage, a gas station and green space. They're aiming to complete it by 2032. As it stands, the rezoning petition seeks permission to build up to six drive-thrus, with possible exceptions for more at the site, located between Wilkinson Boulevard and I-85. City staff argues this would not create the ideal pedestrian environment to support the multibillion-dollar Silver Line light rail coming through there,
