Explanation
§ The city has received a petition for voluntary annexation of private property.
§ Public hearings are required prior to City Council action on annexation requests.
§ This property is located within Charlotte’s extraterritorial jurisdiction.
§ The area proposed for annexation shares a boundary with current city limits.
§ Annexation of this area will allow for more orderly development review, extension of city services, capital investments, and future annexation processes.
§ The 32.3-acre “Emerson Pond” site is in eastern Mecklenburg County. The property is located along the south and east sides of Faires Road and north of Plaza Road Extension.
- The property is owned by Michael S. Williams and Karen M. Williams.
- The site is currently undeveloped and has exiting structures that will be demolished prior to redevelopment.
- The petitioner, NVR, Inc., has plans to redevelop the site with 120 duplex and triplex units.
- The property is zoned N1-A (Neighborhood 1 - A), which allows for single-family detached residential uses, as well as duplexes, triplexes, and a limited number of other uses.
- The property is located immediately adjacent to Council District 5.
- The petitioned area consists of three parcels: parcel identification numbers 105-222-11, 105-222-29, and 105-222-30.
Consistency with City Council Policies
§ The annexation is consistent with voluntary annexation policy approved by City Council on March 24, 2003. More specifically this annexation:
- Will not adversely affect the city’s ability to undertake future annexations;
- Will not have undue negative impact on city finances or services; and
- Will not result in a situation where unincorporated areas will be encompassed by new city limits.
