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 11.73-acre “QTR Phase One” site in northern Mecklenburg County. The property is located along the south side of Sunset Road and east of Oakdale Road.
§ The property is owned by Sunset Road Partners, LLC.
§ The site is currently developed with single-family dwellings and associated accessory buildings that will be removed prior to any redevelopment.
§ The annexation area is zoned N2-A(CD) (Neighborhood 2-A (Conditional)) which allows for multi-family attached uses.
- Rezoning Petition 2024-022 rezoned the site in August of 2024 from N1-A to N2-A(CD). The site’s entitlements under the approved conditional plan allow for the development of up to up to 110 multi-family attached residential units and up to eight duplex units as permitted in the N2-A zoning district.
§ The petitioned area consists of two parcels: parcel identification numbers 037-031-02 and 037-031-13.
§ 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 development of the site with 110 attached multi-family units and eight duplex 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 area’s current and future uses, the Charlotte Fire Department noted that the site is within the Effective Response Force travel time standards.
§ 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; and
- Will not result in a situation where unincorporated areas will be encompassed by new city limits.
