Does anyone know anything about the current zoning laws in Charlotte and Raleigh regarding businesses and residential areas? I've tried to research it but I'm hoping someone living in NC can help me with finding this info as I'm not having much luck.
I'm trying to find out if Charlotte and Raleigh have (or don't have) any special zoning laws for businesses (i.e. could someone put an adult themed store in a largely residential area).
Also, are there any building zoning laws for where Trailer Parks or Trailer Homes can reside from other residential areas or is it scattered site everywhere?
Thanks in advance to anyone that can help me with this.
Most cities of any decent size will have zoning....residential, commerical, retail, office, wharehouse/factory, etc. Then you have special cases, like adult businesses you mentioned. (In Raleigh, they can't be put near a church, school, residential area, etc...however, if the adult business comes first and the church or homes come after, the adult business doesn't get penalized. Which makes sense.)
There's also many cities pushing "mixed-use" zoning for the urban areas: buildings that have stores/restaurants on first floor with apartments above. That's increasing in popularity these days thankfully.
As far as trailers, most cities in NC have restrictions on where they can go. Rural areas usually don't.

Thanks for answering my post. I'm surprised I couldn't Google any real articles on the subject.
Maybe that's a good sign if noone complains or writes an article on it?
Check with the local zoning authorities. They are usually quite helpful. Also be sure to check deed restrictions on any property you may be considering purchasing. What isn't covered by zoning is very often covered in the deed restrictions. It can often be restricted for any kind of commercial business to operate in an area that's zoned residential.
