![Page 8: PARKING AND HOUSING SSUES NEAR COLLEGES AND …ww.charmeck.org/Planning/Rezoning/ParkingHousingIssues... · 2012-11-16 · Red- North Conference Room Blue – Conference Room 801](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022070917/5fb7350fc9328a3b4f1729ed/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)
Background
• Charlotte Colleges and Universities are growing rapidly, creating an increased demand for housing and parking options both on and off campus.
• Multifamily developments in similar college settings offer lease by bedroom options to provide housing choices for students
• City of Charlotte Zoning Ordinance does not currently allow lease by bedroom use or provide for private dormitories.

Police Issues and Concerns

• Students are being placed with and
around non-students
• An increase of students being victimized
• As these units age, they are populated
with more non-students and become low-
income housing option
• Lack of safety and security features in the communities and in individual units
• High density of drug related crime
