>  
> Charlotte City Council has voiced fresh hesitation about a set of major development plans that are years in the making and slated to be adopted next month.
> 
> Zoom out: Charlotte planning leaders have been working on what’s known as the 2040 Comprehensive Plan for about three years.
> 
> This big-picture plan is essentially a roadmap to guide the city’s future growth, from how much green space Charlotte has to what neighborhoods look like.
> Think of the 2040 plan just as a set of ideas though, as the Charlotte Ledger describes it.
> Making the proposals in the plan binding requires a separate vote on an overhaul of the city’s zoning policies.
> 
> The state of play: Last week, the city council balked at both the 2040 plan and the zoning overhaul. Some members called for a delay in adopting the 2040 plan, CBJ reported.
> 
> The sticking point for several on the council appears to be a provision that would eliminate single-family-only zoning.
> 
> Some argue that allowing a diverse housing stock (like duplexes and triplexes) helps ease affordability; others worry it'd encourage teardowns.
> Why it matters: Development in Charlotte has exploded in recent years, but the city’s lacked a coherent roadmap to guide such growth.
> 
> Furthermore, Charlotte had lacked an official planning director from 2014 to 2018, when the city hired Taiwo Jaiyeoba to fill that role and to spearhead these growth plans, Charlotte magazine writes.
> Some council members argued that the community hasn’t been engaged enough in the process.
> 
> Jaiyeoba noted the months of community outreach the city has done for the plan, such as the dozens of open houses it’s hosted, per UNC Charlotte’s Urban Institute.
> Read more from UNC Charlotte's Ely Portillo about the hurdles facing Charlotte's "year of the plan."
> 
> Go deeper: A similar plan in Minneapolis that legalized duplexes and triplexes has shown little impact.

> The North Carolina Zoo has received a $50,000 grant from the Association of Zoos and Aquariums. The grant will support the Asheboro zoo's conservation efforts that benefit black rhino populations found in southwest Africa. 
> 
> In recent years, the local zoo helped develop and deploy anti-poaching software that lets rangers collect data on their smartphones.
> The wild black rhino population is estimated at only 5,600 individuals, according to the zoo. The work will benefit white rhinos too, which live in the same areas.
