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.
§ 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, which would retain the historic landmark designation.
§ 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, 141-211-30. The recommended de-designation would leave designated as a local historic landmark an approximately 14.245-acre parcel of land consisting of Tax Parcel Numbers 141-211-29 (including the structures, improvements, and features located therein), 141-211-30 (including the interior and exterior of the building), and a specified approximately 3.546-acre portion of the adjacent Tax Parcel Number 141-211-01A.
§ All five tax parcels are zoned ML-2(ANDO).
§ Tax Parcel Number 141-211-29 is owned by Steele Creek Presbyterian Church. The remaining four tax parcels 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.
