The City of Charlotte, Michigan (Eaton County, not Charlotte, N.C.) is weighing Ordinance No. 2026-01, a full replacement of its Chapter 82 zoning code. The proposed text spans Articles I through XV, pages 3 to 164, and would take effect 20 days after Council adoption.

The Planning Commission held a public hearing May 5, 2026 and recommended the ordinance and zoning map that day. Council had been expected to adopt it May 11 but instead sent it back over parking requirements. On May 20, the Commission rescinded its earlier recommendation and approved a revised version.

Council also requested technical fixes to condominium densities, parking language, and short-term rental rules. The ordinance remains proposed until the revised text returns to Council for approval.
