  • Taylor Morrison 11405 North Community House Road Charlotte, NC, 28277 United States (map)

Join us on August 14, 2025, from 11:00 AM – 1:00 PM EDT for an in-person Lunch & Learn hosted by Taylor Morrison in Charlotte, North Carolina. This session will feature Brittany Lins and Collin Brown of Alexander Ricks, who will lead a deep dive into the political and procedural complexities of the rezoning process.

You’ve found the perfect site—now what? This session will walk you through what it really takes to move a rezoning application from concept to approval. From community engagement and stakeholder coordination to navigating staff feedback, PACs, and political board dynamics, Brittany and Collin will share real-world strategies and insights to help you get your project across the finish line.


We’ll cover:
• Community meetings and neighborhood engagement
• Working with staff and understanding their role
• Navigating political advisory committees (PACs)
• Reading the political climate and building support
• Tips for successful municipal negotiations and approvals

This session is ideal for developers, planners, land use attorneys, and real estate professionals looking to better understand the political side of land entitlement.
