Explanation
Public hearings to obtain community input are required prior to City Council taking action on annexation requests.
A petition has been received from the owners of this 13.092-acre property located on the east side of Dixie River Road and south of West Boulevard in western Mecklenburg County.
The property is owned by Cresent River District LLC.
The property is vacant and is zoned MUDD-O ANDO (Mixed Use Development District, Optional, Airport Noise Disclosure Overlay).
Rezoning petition 2016-056 rezoned this site in November of 2016 as part of the larger River District project that entitled 1,378 acres with a mix of residential and commercial uses.
The petitioned area consists of one parcel: parcel identification number 141-281-06.
The property is located within Charlotte’s extraterritorial jurisdiction and shares boundaries with current city limits.
The intent of the annexation is to extend municipal services to the site to facilitate the development of 80,000 square feet of mixed commercial uses, 15,000 square feet of retail, and 75,000 square feet of other commercial uses across the site.
In the evaluation of this annexation area, Charlotte-Mecklenburg Stormwater Services, Charlotte-Mecklenburg Police Department, Charlotte Department of Transportation, and Charlotte Solid Waste Services noted that this annexation area would have minimal to no impacts to the departments’ resources.
