Action:

Establishments Ordinance.
Committee Chair:
Justin Harlow, Community Safety
Staff Resource(s):
Hope Root, City Attorney’s Office
Kerr Putney, Police
Mark Newbold, Police
Current Ordinance
§ City Council adopted the most recent version of Article XIII Offenses and Miscellaneous Provisions
of the Lodging Establishments Ordinance in 2008, which allowed the Charlotte-Mecklenburg Police
Department to ask hotels and motels for guest registration and reservation information about
potential suspects involved in criminal activity.
§ On June 22, 2015, the United States Supreme Court in City of Los Angeles, Ca. v. Patel, 135 S. Ct.
2443 held that an ordinance that required hotel operators to record and keep specific information
about their guests, and to turn that information over to the police upon demand, was
unconstitutional. The U.S. Supreme Court found the ordinance unconstitutional because:
The ordinance failed to provide hotel owners opportunity to challenge the government’s
decision to take the records prior to compliance,
Hotels were not a closely regulated business, and
The government must obtain either a search warrant or consent from the owner before
obtaining the records.
§ The City has a similar ordinance which provides in part that “it is a crime to fail to allow a law
enforcement officer to conduct an on-site inspection of registration or reservation information about
a registered guest, who is a suspect in a particular crime.”
§ The proposed amendment removes language that conflicts with the U. S. Supreme Court’s holding in
California v. Patel.

15. Affordable Housing Locational Guidelines
Action:

the Housing Locational Policy with the Affordable Housing Locational Guidelines.
Committee Chair:
LaWana Mayfield, Housing and Neighborhood Development
Staff Resource(s):
Pamela Wideman, Housing and Neighborhood Services
Miles Vaughn, Housing and Neighborhood Services
Current Ordinance
§ The current Housing Locational Policy was originally approved by City Council on November 26,
2001, and was last amended on March 28, 2011.
§ The policy provides a guide for the development of new, rehabilitated, or converted local, state, or
federal subsidized multi-family housing developments designed to serve, in whole or part, households
earning 60 percent or less than the area median income (AMI).
§ The objectives of the policy are to:
- Avoid undue concentration of subsidized multi-family housing,
- Geographically disperse new multi-family housing developments,
- Support the City's neighborhood revitalization efforts and other public development
initiatives, and
- Promote diversity and vitality of neighborhoods.
§ The policy establishes permissible and non-permissible areas for the development of new,
rehabilitated, or converted subsidized multi-family rental housing developments.
Proposed Changes
§ The Affordable Housing Locational Guidelines will guide the selection of housing investments that
create or preserve affordable rental housing and workforce rental housing in areas:
- Near employment centers,
- Near commercial, recreational, and social centers,
- Near existing and proposed transit services,
- In Center City, and
- In neighborhoods experiencing rapid demographic change.
§ The guidelines will help support the City’s revitalization efforts and promote diverse and inclusive
neighborhoods. They are also in alignment with the Housing Charlotte Framework that was approved
by City Council in August 2018.
§ The guidelines will apply to multi-family rental developments that serve households earning up to or
less than 80 percent of the AMI. These developments must have 24 or more units and be funded in
whole, or part by local, state, or federal funding sources.
§ All nine percent low-income tax credit multi-family rental developments, as well as developments
with less than 24 units and senior citizen developments, are exempt from these guidelines.
§ Each applicable multi-family rental development seeking local, state, or federal funding shall undergo
site scoring to evaluate:
- The site’s proximity to transit services and other amenities,
- The unit mix and income levels of the proposed development in comparison to the
surrounding community,
- The site’s access to jobs based on acceptable commute standards, and
- The site’s impact on offsetting gentrification.
§ Multi-family rental development selection recommendations will be based on:
- Site scoring,
- Development team experience,
- Developer’s financial strength,
City of Charlotte Page 15 Printed on 1/15/2019
City Council Business Meeting Meeting Agenda January 14, 2019
- Market analysis information,
- Adherence to existing City policies, and
- Other criteria deemed appropriate.
§ Recommendations for housing development selection will be presented to City Council for review,
consideration, and approval.
Committee Discussion
§ On October 31, 2018, the Housing and Neighborhood Development Committee voted 4-1 (Mayfield,
Driggs, Egleston, and Harlow voted yes; Newton voted no) to recommend the substitution of the
Housing Locational Policy with the Affordable Housing Locational Guidelines to full City Council.

Approve the Transportation and Planning Committee’s recommendation to amend Chapters 14
and 19 of the City Code regarding shared mobility.
Committee Chair:
Julie Eiselt, Mayor Pro Tem
Staff Resource(s):
Liz Babson, Transportation
Dan Gallagher, Transportation
Explanation
§ Shared mobility options, such as e-scooters and e-bikes, have been implemented nationally and
internationally in the last year.
§ The City of Charlotte piloted e-scooters, dockless bikes, and e-bikes over the last year and
instituted temporary permit and guideline requirements.
§ There are currently three companies (Bird, Lime, and Spin) with active permits in Charlotte.
§ The proposed ordinance amendments will:
- Define e-scooters and e-bikes (as electric standup scooters and electric assisted bicycles),
- Cap e-scooter speeds at 15 miles per hour,
- Cap e-scooter weight to 50 pounds,
- Prohibit two people from riding a single e-scooter, and
- Prohibit sidewalk riding in a core area of Uptown (bounded by Church Street, Stonewall
Street, College Street, and 7th Street).
§ In addition, the City will modify the existing permit and guidelines to provide additional clarification
including:
- Implementing a dynamic cap that allows more e-scooters to be added to the system when
there are more than three trips per day per e-scooter, and a reduction in the cap when
there are less than two trips per day per e-scooter,
- Ensuring a unique identifier on the stem of each e-scooter,
- Reorganizing scooters mid-afternoon,
- Exploring dynamic pricing fees with Bird, Lime, Spin, and a third-party company, and
- Exploring how more e-scooters can be deployed to support first and last mile transit trips.
Committee Discussion
§ The topic of shared mobility (specifically e-scooters) was referred to the Transportation and
Planning Committee (Committee).
§ Since late September 2018, the Committee has discussed this item with a focus on safety, state
legislative action, ridership, parking, first and last mile access, dynamic caps, dynamic pricing, and
the need for additional City ordinance clarification.
§ On December 17, 2018, the Committee (Phipps, Eiselt, Ajmera, Egleston, Winston) recommended
draft ordinance components to full City Council for discussion at the Strategy Session on January 7,
2019.

When feasible, the Charlotte Business INClusion (CBI) Office may designate certain Contracts or categories

all Construction Contracts of $300,000 or more and for all Architecture, Engineering, and Surveying

goal setting process.
Appendix Section 20: Contract: For the purposes of establishing an (Minority, Women, and Small
Business Enterprise (MWSBE) subcontracting goal on a Contract, the following are examples of contract

Enterprise (MBE), or Women Business Enterprise (WBE) Goal has been set.
§ Financial Partner Agreements, Development Agreements, Infrastructure Improvement Agreements,
Design-Build, and Construction Manager-at-Risk Agreements shall also be deemed “Contracts,” but
shall be subject to the provisions referenced in the respective Parts of the Charlotte Business

categories are “Exempt Contracts” and shall be exempt from all aspects of the Charlotte Business INClusion

Special Exemptions: Contracts where the department and the CBI Program Manager agree that the
department had no discretion to hire an MWSBE (e.g., emergency contracts or contracts for banking or
insurance services) shall be Exempt Contracts.
Appendix Section 35: Informal Contracts: Contracts that are estimated to be less than the following
dollar thresholds prior to issuance of the City Solicitation Documents:
§ Construction Contracts: $500,000, and
§ Service Contracts and Commodities Contracts: $100,000.

Part B: Section 2.1: When the City sets a Subcontracting Goal, each Bidder must either: (a) meet each
Subcontracting Goal; or (b) comply with the Good Faith Negotiation and Good Faith Efforts requirements for
each unmet Subcontracting Goal. Failure to comply constitutes grounds for rejection of the Bid. The City
Solicitation Documents will contain certain forms that Bidders must complete to document having met
these requirements.
Part B: Section 2.3: No Goals When There Are No Subcontracting Opportunities. The City shall not
establish Subcontracting Goals for Contracts where: a) there are no subcontracting opportunities identified
for the Contract; or b) there are no SBEs, MBEs, or WBEs (as applicable) to perform scopes of work or
provide products or services that the City regards as realistic opportunities for subcontracting.

If a Contractor elects to subcontract any portion of a Contract that the Contractor did not previously
identify to the City as a subcontracting opportunity, or if the scope of work on a Contract increases for
any reason in a manner that creates a new MWSBE subcontracting opportunity, the City shall either (a)
notify the Contractor that there will be no Supplemental MWSBE Goal for the new work; or (b) establish
and notify the Contractor of a Supplemental MWSBE Goal for the new work.
Part G: Alternative Construction Agreements
Part G: Section 2.7: Prior to City Council’s vote to award the Alternative Construction Agreement, the
Program Manager and the Company shall negotiate and agree on proposed MWSBE Goals for the Project
and on a Participation Plan that describes the outreach and efforts the Company will be required to
undertake to meet the MWSBE subcontracting goals.
78. Reference - Property Acquisitions and Condemnations
§ The City has negotiated in good faith to acquire the properties set forth below
§ For acquisitions, the property owner and staff have agreed on a price based on appraisals and/or
estimates.
§ In the case of condemnations, the value was established by an independent, certified appraisal
followed by a third-party appraisal review.
§ Real Estate staff diligently attempts to contact all property owners by:
- Sending introductory letters via regular and certified mail,
- Making several site visits,
- Leaving door hangers and business cards,
- Seeking information from neighbors,
- Searching the internet,
- Obtaining title abstracts, and
- Leaving voice messages.
§ For most condemnation cases, City staff and the property owner(s) have been unable to reach a
settlement. In some cases, condemnation is necessary to ensure a clear title to the property.
§ If the City Council approves the resolutions, the City Attorney’s office will initiate condemnation
proceedings. As part of the condemnation process, real estate staff and the City Attorney’s Office
will continue to negotiate, including court-mandated mediation, in an attempt to resolve the matter.
Most condemnation cases are settled by the parties prior to going to court.
§ If a settlement cannot be reached, the case will proceed to a trial before a judge or jury to
determine “just compensation.”
§ Full text of each resolution is on file with the City Clerk’s Office.
§ The definition of easement is a right created by grant, reservation, agreement, prescription, or
necessary implication, which one has in the land of another, it is either for the benefit of land, such
as right to cross A to get to B, or “in gross,” such as public utility easement.
§ The term “fee simple” is a synonym for ownership and is an estate under which the owner is entitled
to unrestricted powers to dispose of the property, and which can be left by will or inherited.

79. Reference - Property Transaction Process
Property Transaction Process Following City Council Approval for Condemnation
The following overview is intended to provide further explanation for the process of property transactions
that are approved by City Council for condemnation.
Approximately six weeks of preparatory work is required before the condemnation lawsuit is filed. During
this time, City staff continues to negotiate with the property owner in an effort to reach a mutual
settlement.
§ If a settlement is reached, the condemnation process is stopped, and the property transaction
proceeds to a real estate closing.
§ If a settlement cannot be reached, the condemnation lawsuit is filed. Even after filing, negotiations
continue between the property owner and the City’s legal representative. Filing of the
condemnation documents allows:
- The City to gain access and title to the subject property so the capital project can proceed
on schedule.
- The City to deposit the appraised value of the property in an escrow account with the Clerk
of Court. These funds may be withdrawn by the property owner immediately upon filing, and
at any time thereafter, with the understanding that additional funds transfer may be required
at the time of final settlement or at the conclusion of litigation.
§ If a condemnation lawsuit is filed, the final trial may not occur for 18 to 24 months; however, a vast
majority of the cases settle prior to final trial. The City’s condemnation attorney remains actively
engaged with the property owner to continue negotiations throughout litigation.
- North Carolina law requires that all condemnation cases go through formal non-binding
mediation, at which an independent certified mediator attempts to facilitate a successful
settlement. For the minority of cases that do not settle, the property owner has the right
to a trial by judge or jury in order to determine the amount of compensation the property
owner will receive.
