to the City of Charlotte in July 2019.
§ The city receives this grant annually as the lead planning agency for the Charlotte Regional

15. Streets Map to Implement Transit Oriented Development
Zoning Along Blue Line
Action:
Adopt the Streets Map to implement Transit Oriented Development for the Blue Line.
Committee Chair:
Julie Eiselt, Transportation and Planning
Staff Resource(s):
Liz Babson, Transportation
Johanna Quinn, Transportation
Tracy Newsome, Transportation
Explanation
§ The Streets Map is a key implementation tool for the Transit-Oriented Development (TOD) Zoning
Ordinance, which was adopted by City Council on April 15, 2019.
§ The Streets Map sets the vision for the public realm within TOD by assigning street classifications
and setting ultimate curb locations for Complete Streets in the TOD areas around the Blue Line.
§ Street classification and curb location are used to determine design requirements such as setbacks,
building placement, streetscapes, and other key design elements related to street frontages,
providing predictability, consistency, and clarity for development.
§ Until the Streets Map is adopted, TOD districts rely on area plans, some of which do not include
Charlotte’s most recently adopted Complete Streets design policies.
§ The Streets Map will also form the basis for the design of capital projects along streets.
Background
§ The Streets Map is intended to complement the adopted TOD Ordinance to create safe and
comfortable Complete Streets for all users and to provide multi-modal access to transit stations and
the destinations around those stations.
§ The information on the Streets Map reflects previously-adopted policies from the Urban Street
Design Guidelines (USDG), the Transportation Action Plan, Charlotte WALKS, and Charlotte BIKES.
§ The Streets Map includes recommendations for the cross section of each arterial street in TOD
around the Blue Line. These recommendations include number of lanes, bicycle facilities, and
on-street parking and center space where applicable.
Community Input
§ The Streets Map incorporates significant public comment from previously-adopted City Council
policies. Thousands of people commented during the adoption of USDG, TAP, Charlotte WALKS
(adopted 2017), and Charlotte BIKES (adopted 2017).
§ Information about the Streets Map has been provided across the City to community and advocacy
groups including the Bicycle Advisory Committee, the Ordinance Advisory Committee (OAC), Town
Halls, and Biketoberfest 2018.
§ Staff has also met with the broader community as part of the TOD Zoning Alignment, attending all
property owner and community meetings. The TOD Zoning Alignment and Streets Map are two key
implementation tools for the recently adopted TOD districts.
§ A Streets Map Stakeholder Group was formed to address questions from the OAC and to have a
more in-depth conversation about the Streets Map. The Stakeholders were made up of developer
and advocacy group representatives and met a total of three times.
§ The city collected public comments on the map June through September, and at the October 14,
2019 Council Business Meeting, Council heard public comments on the Streets Map.
§ The Streets Map is available at <https://charlottenc.gov/Projects/Pages/StreetsMap.aspx>.
Committee Discussion
City of Charlotte Page 13 Printed on 10/28/2019
City Council Business Meeting Meeting Agenda October 28, 2019
§ The Streets Map was presented to the Transportation and Planning Committee on July 22 and
September 23, 2019. At the meeting on September 23, 2019, the Committee voted to recommend
that the Streets Map be presented to full City Council for public comment.
§ During the City Council Strategy Session on October 7, 2019, information was provided about the
Streets Map including the content, development, and application of the Streets Map to TOD.
16. Interlocal Agreement to Accept Wastewater Flow into the
Sanitary Sewer System
Action:
Adopt a resolution ratifying an Interlocal Agreement with the City of Belmont to accept
wastewater flow into Charlotte Water’s sanitary sewer system.
Staff Resource(s):
David Czerr, Charlotte Water
Ron Hargrove, Charlotte Water
Explanation
§ This agreement will allow the city to accept wastewater flow from the City of Belmont and allows
for the construction of a sewer lift station and dual sanitary sewer lines under the Catawba River.
§ The agreement supports the Stowe Regional Water Resource Recovery Facility (Stowe RWRRF)
(adjacent to Council Districts 2 and 3) and associated regional infrastructure, outlined in a
presentation to City Council on April 9, 2018.
§ On May 13, 2013, Council approved a Memorandum of Agreement and authorized a Nutrient
Allocation Purchase Agreement with the City of Belmont.
§ On February 13, 2017, Council approved a professional services agreement for a Preliminary
Engineering Report that provided preliminary design for the Stowe RWRRF and associated Belmont
and Mount Holly facilities.
§ On October 7, 2019, the Belmont City Council approved the Interlocal Agreement.
§ The design and construction contracts for the Belmont and Mount Holly facilities as well as the
Stowe RWRRF will be presented to Council at future meetings.
Background
§ The city’s studies indicated the need for a wastewater treatment plant near the confluence of Long
Creek and Lake Wylie. It also indicated that wastewater treatment needs for Mecklenburg County,
the City of Belmont, and the City of Mount Holly could be best met through a regional partnership.
§ The Stowe RWRRF will consolidate three significant discharge permits for existing wastewater
treatment plants for Belmont, Mount Holly, and Clariant Corporation, and will require Belmont and
Mount Holly to decommission their existing plants.

explanation for those agenda items that reference the Charlotte Business INClusion Policy in the business
meeting agenda.
Part A: Administration and Enforcement
Part A: Section 2.3: Targeted Outreach and Designated Contracts for Small Business Enterprises (SBEs).
When feasible, the Charlotte Business INClusion (CBI) Office may designate certain Contracts or categories
of Contracts in which solicitation efforts will be directed only to SBEs. In designating Contracts for
targeted outreach or SBE participation, the CBI Office takes into account the size and scope of the
Contract and the availability of SBEs to provide the applicable services or products.
Part A: Section 3.1: Subcontracting Goals. The City shall establish one or more Subcontracting Goals for
all Construction Contracts of $300,000 or more and for all Architecture, Engineering, and Surveying
Contracts of $100,000 or more. Contracts estimated to be less than these thresholds are exempt from the
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
types:
§ Any agreement through which the City procures services from a Business Enterprise, other than
Exempt Contracts.
§ Contracts include agreements and purchase orders for (a) construction, re-construction, alteration,
and remodeling; (b) architectural work, engineering, surveying, testing, construction management,
and other professional services related to construction; and (c) services of any nature (including
but not limited to general consulting and technology-related services), and (d) apparatus, supplies,
goods, or equipment.
§ The term “Contract” shall also include Exempt Contracts for which an SBE, Minority Business
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
INClusion Program Policy.
Appendix Section 27: Exempt Contracts: Contracts that fall within one or more of the following
categories are “Exempt Contracts” and shall be exempt from all aspects of the Charlotte Business INClusion
Policy:
No Competitive Process Contracts: Contracts or purchase orders that are entered into without a
competitive process, or entered into based on a competitive process administered by an entity other than
the City, including but not limited to contracts that are entered into by sole sourcing, piggybacking, buying
off the North Carolina State contract, buying from a competitive bidding group purchasing program as
allowed under G.S. 143-129(e)(3), or using the emergency procurement procedures established by the
North Carolina General Statutes.
Managed Competition Contracts: Managed competition contracts pursuant to which a City department
or division competes with Business Enterprises to perform a City function.
Real Estate Leasing and Acquisition Contracts: Contracts for the acquisition or lease of real estate.
Federal Contracts Subject to Disadvantaged Business Enterprise (DBE) Requirements: Contracts
that are subject to the U.S. Department of Transportation Disadvantaged Business Enterprise Program as
City of Charlotte Page 61 Printed on 10/28/2019
City Council Business Meeting Meeting Agenda October 28, 2019
set forth in 49 CFR Part 26 or any successor legislation.
State Funded Contracts Subject to the State’s MWBE Requirements: Contracts that are subject to
an MWBE Goal set by the State of North Carolina pursuant to N.C. Gen. Stat. 143-128.2.
Financial Partner Agreements with DBE or MWBE Requirements: Contracts that are subject to a DBE
program or minority and women business development program maintained by a Financial Partner.
Interlocal Agreements: Contracts with other units of federal, state, or local government.
Contracts for Legal Services: Contracts for legal services, unless otherwise indicated by the City
Attorney.
Contracts with Waivers: Contracts for which the City Manager or CBI Program Manager waives the CBI
Program requirements (such as when there are no MWSBE subcontracting opportunities on a Contract).
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: Construction and Commodities Contracts
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.
Part C: Service Contracts
Part C: Section 2.1(a) Subcontracting Goals: No Goal When There Are No MWSBE Subcontracting
Opportunities. The City shall not establish Subcontracting Goals for Service Contracts where (a) there are
no subcontracting opportunities identified; or (b) there are no SBEs or MWBEs certified to perform the
scopes of work that the City regards as realistic opportunities for subcontracting.
Part C: Section 2.1(b) and 2.1(c): The City may require each Proposer to submit with its Proposal one or
more of the following: (a) a Participation Plan describing how Proposer intends to solicit MWSBE

MWBEs it intends to use on the Contract.
Part C: Section 2.1(h) Negotiated Goals: The City may seek to negotiate Subcontracting Goals after
Proposals have been submitted.

City of Charlotte Page 62 Printed on 10/28/2019

Part D: Section 6: New Subcontractor Opportunities/Additions to Scope/Contract Amendments
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.
58. 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.

59. 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.
