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 12.739-acre property located north of Interstate 485 along the east side of Mount Holly-Huntersville Road.
§ The property is owned by Southcraft Development, LLC.
§ The site is currently developed with one single-family home on the property that will be removed prior to any redevelopment.
§ The annexation area is zoned N1-A (Neighborhood 1, A).
- The site’s N1-A zoning allows for single-family residential uses as well as duplexes, triplexes, and a limited number of other uses.
§ The petitioned area consists of one parcel; parcel identification number: 033-111-10.
§ The property is located within Charlotte’s extraterritorial jurisdiction, shares boundaries with current city limits, and is immediately adjacent to City Council District 4.
§ The intent of the annexation is to enable the development of 32 single-family dwelling units.
§ In the evaluation of this annexation area, Charlotte-Mecklenburg Stormwater Services, Charlotte-Mecklenburg Police Department, and Charlotte Solid Waste Services noted that this annexation area would have minimal to no impacts to the departments’ resources.
§ The Charlotte Fire Department noted capacity to service this area would increase once the new Firehouse No. 46 at Beatties Ford Road and Miranda Road is operational.
§ 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:
- Is consistent with the policy to not adversely affect the city’s ability to undertake future annexations;
- Is consistent with the policy to not have undue negative impact on city finances or services; and
- Is consistent with the policy to not create unincorporated areas that will be encompassed by new city limits.
