The Charlotte City Council voted on March 28, 2022 to approve the Charlotte Future 2040 Policy Map, which provides additional detail on the types of development envisioned by the city's newly adopted comprehensive plan. Alysia Osborne, assistant director of planning and project manager for Charlotte Future 2040 announced the vote on LinkedIn.

Charlotte adopted the Charlotte Future 2040 Comprehensive Plan in June 2021, and quickly launched the public engagement process for the policy map in July of the same year. The Charlotte Planning Department first published the policy map in October 2021, according to an article published by WBTV. The policy map most recently attracted media attention in February, when the South Charlotte Weekly reported on the publication of the final draft of the policy map.
