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 12.95-acre property located along the east side of Oakdale Road and west of I-485 in northwestern Mecklenburg County.
§ The property is owned by Oakdale Phase 2 Owner, LP.
§ The site is currently developed with four single family homes that will be removed prior to redevelopment. The annexation area is zoned R-8MF(CD) (multi-family residential, conditional).
- Rezoning petition 2022-170 rezoned this site in May 2023 from R-3 (single family residential).
- The site’s entitlements under the approved R-8MF(CD) site plan allows for the development of a townhome community.
- The first phase of this development was annexed in June 2023 as Oak Lake Area Voluntary Annexation.
§ The petitioned area consists of four parcels; parcel identification numbers: 033-281-02, 033-281-03, 033-281-04, and 033-281-05.
§ 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 support the development of 82 attached dwelling units.
§ 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.
§ In reviewing the developer’s proposed uses and service needs, the Charlotte Fire Department noted that the site is currently outside of a four-minute travel time and will be more expeditiously serviced with the completion of Firehouse #46 at Beatties Ford Road and Miranda Road.
§ The potential revenue generated from this annexation area is projected to exceed the estimated cost of extending municipal services to the site.
Consistent 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;
- Will not result in a situation where unincorporated areas will be encompassed by new city limits.
