More than 2,000 acres of land near Charlotte/Douglas International Airport would be rezoned for heavy industrial uses under a request that city staff are considering.
The request is a matter of housekeeping to bring land acquired over a number of years with various zonings, all under the same zoning, said aviation director Jerry Orr, who signed the rezoning application.
Orr says I-2 zoning is needed for the runway itself, but that the Airport Plan adopted a few years ago envisions the entire area to be zoned I-2
