Explanation
§ Public hearings to obtain community input are required prior to City Council taking action on annexation requests.
§ The City of Charlotte seeks the annexation of a city-owned parcel. This 6.709-acre “Miranda Road Firehouse No. 46 Area” site is located along the south side of Miranda Road and the west side of Beatties Ford Road in northern Mecklenburg County.
§ This parcel is currently vacant and will be constructed with future, funded Firehouse No. 46. The property is zoned N1-A (Neighborhood 1 - A). The N1-A district allows for public safety facilities, such as a firehouse.
§ The petitioned area consists of one parcel: parcel identification number 037-411-23.
§ The property is located within Charlotte’s extraterritorial jurisdiction and shares boundaries with current city limits. The property is adjacent to Council District 2.
§ Annexation of this property is required to develop planned city infrastructure. Once constructed, this firehouse will service surrounding areas and provide critical resource relief to Charlotte Fire Department, ensuring equitable service that meets established industry and local standards.
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.
