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 37.040-acre property, east of Interstate 485 along the southeast side of North Tryon Street in northeastern Mecklenburg County.
§ The property is owned by Meck29 APT, LLC.
- The site is currently vacant and zoned R-12MF(CD) (multi-family residential, conditional).
- Rezoning Petition 2021-150 rezoned the site in April of 2022 from R-3 to R-12MF(CD). The site’s entitlements under the approved conditional plan allow for multi-family residential uses and any accessory uses permitted in the zoning district.
§ The intent of the annexation is to extend municipal services to the site to support the development of 379 multi-family stacked dwelling units.
§ The petitioned area consists of two parcels: parcel identification numbers 051-091-01 and 051-091-06.
§ The property is located within Charlotte’s extraterritorial jurisdiction and does not share boundaries with current city limits.
§ 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 the area’s service needs, 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;
- Will not result in a situation where unincorporated areas will be encompassed by new city limits.
