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 133.451-acre “Long Creek at McClure” site in northern Mecklenburg County. The property is located east of Brookshire Boulevard, north of Pleasant Grove Road, and south of Interstate 485.
§ The property is owned by William McClure, Calvin McClure, Etta Virginia, Thomas McClure, Suzanne McClure, and Rock River Holdings, LLC.
§ The site is currently developed with some single-family homes among vacant parcels. All existing structures will be removed prior to redevelopment.
§ The annexation area is zoned N1-A (Neighborhood 1 - A), which allows for single-family detached residential uses, duplexes, triplexes, and a limited number of other uses.
§ The petitioned area consists of 17 parcels: parcel identification numbers 033-221-03, 033-221-04, 033-221-07, 033-221-08, 033-221-09, 033-221-10, 033-221-11, 033-031-26, 033-051-37, 033-051-38, 033-031-13, 033-051-27, 033-031-12, 033-051-26, 033-051-43, 033-031-10, and 033-031-36.
§ The property is located within Charlotte’s extraterritorial jurisdiction and shares a boundary with current city limits.
§ The intent of the annexation is to extend municipal services to the site to facilitate the development of 146 single-family detached units, 132 duplex units, and 159 triplex 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 industrial uses, the Charlotte Fire Department noted that the site is within the Effective Response Force travel time standards and provided additional advisory considerations.
§ 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.
