Explanation
§ The city has received a petition for voluntary annexation of private property.
§ Public hearings are required prior to City Council action on annexation requests.
§ This property is located within Charlotte’s extraterritorial jurisdiction.
§ The area proposed for annexation shares boundaries with current city limits.
§ Annexation of this area will allow for extension of city services to a site planned for mixed residential development.
§ The 50.595-acre “Yardly West Towne” site is located along the west side of Garrison Road, south of West Boulevard, and east of Dixie River Road in western Mecklenburg County.
- The property is currently vacant.
- The property is zoned MX-2 INNOV (Mixed Residential - 2, Innovative Standards).
§ Rezoning petition 2022-059 rezoned the site from MUDD-O and R-3 to MX-2 INNOV.
- The petitioner has plans to develop 335 multi-family residential units.
- The property is located immediately adjacent to Council District 3.
- The petitioned area consists of nine parcels: parcel identification numbers 141-141-12, 141-141-11, 141-141-08, 141-142-03, 141-142-04, 141-142-02, 141-141-04, 141-141-14, and 141-141-06.
Consistency with City Council Policies
§ The annexation is consistent with city voluntary annexation policy approved by the City Council on March 24, 2003; more specifically this annexation:
- Will not adversely affect the city’s ability to undertake future annexations; and
- Will not have undue negative impact on city finances or services.
§ Per policy, voluntary annexations that encompass unincorporated areas by new city limits may be approved if either of the following conditions exist:
- A petitioner for a voluntary annexation would experience a significant hardship if the annexation were not approved; or
- Under the facts of a particular voluntary annexation petition, the city’s interests are served by varying the application of one of more of these policies.
§ This voluntary annexation is being recommended because the city’s interests will be served by annexing the petitioned property.
