Explanation
§ The city has received a recommendation from the Charlotte-Mecklenburg Historic Landmarks Commission to de-designate a portion of the property comprising the Steele Creek Presbyterian Church and Cemetery local historic landmark.
§ Public hearings are required prior to City Council action on matters pertaining to landmark designation.
§ The Steele Creek Presbyterian Church and Cemetery is located at 7401 and 7407 Steele Creek Road in Council District 3.
§ De-designation of the recommended portion of this property could significantly contribute to long-term preservation of the historic church building and cemetery.
§ The Steele Creek Presbyterian Church and Cemetery property is currently listed cumulatively under parcel identification numbers 141-211-01A, 141-211-01B, 141-211-11, 141-211-29, and 141-211-30. The recommended de-designation would leave designated as a local historic landmark approximately 14.245 acres of land consisting of parcel identification numbers 141-211-29, 141-211-30, and 141-211-01B, and an approximately 3.546-acre portion of the adjacent parcel currently listed under parcel identification number 141-211-01A, and including the interior and exterior of the one-story circa 1889 Steele Creek Presbyterian Church and Cemetery and the associated land comprising those four parcels.
§ Tax Parcel Number 141-211-29 is zoned N1-A(ANDO). The remaining parcels are zoned ML-2(ANDO).
§ Tax Parcel Number 141-211-29 is owned by Steele Creek Presbyterian Church. Tax Parcel Numbers 141-211-30, 141-211-01A, and 141-211-01B are owned by the City of Charlotte.
§ The amount of deferrable taxes would be reduced in proportion to the approximately 23.33 acres of land recommended for de-designation from the originally designated parcel.
