§ The city has received a petition for voluntary annexation of private property.
§ Public hearings are required prior to City Council action on annexation requests.
§ The 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 ±49.09-acre “Summerwell Mountain Island” site is in northwest Mecklenburg County. The property is located south of Interstate 485, on the west side of Oakdale Road, and adjacent to Long Creek.
- The property is owned by Robin and Rebecca Bell, Elizabeth Sharpe, Joyce Jamieson, Mcall G C & Associates LP, and Midnight Nixon LLC.
- The site is currently developed with residential structures that will be removed prior to any redevelopment.
- The petitioner has plans to develop the site with 158 duplex units and 14 single-family detached 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.

- Will not adversely affect the city’s ability to undertake future annexations;
- Will not have undue negative impact on city finances or services;
