Explanation
§ In October, 2025, City Council approved the sale of an approximately 0.619-acre property at 6048 Johnnette Drive (Property) in Council District 5 to TDC Farm Pond, LLC (Developer), a North Carolina limited liability company and affiliate of The Drakeford Company.
§ The Developer intends to combine the Property with adjacent contiguous parcels consisting of approximately 19 acres to develop a residential project currently known as the Harvest Hill Drive Subdivision (Development).
§ The city is under contract to sell the Property to the Developer for the development of two for-sale affordable housing units within the Development, subject to certain terms and conditions including requiring the affordable units to be complete and available for occupancy by no later than September 30, 2027.
§ Due to delays in the Development schedule, the Developer has requested a contract amendment to provide a three-year period from the date of the deed conveying the property for completion of the affordable units (Development Period). This request is consistent with other development periods granted by the city.
§ All other previously agreed upon terms and conditions remain unchanged, and include:
- Number of Units: the Development will provide two for-sale affordable housing units (Affordable Units).
- Area Media Income: 80 percent or below the area median income (AMI), with Affordable Unit sales prices not to exceed the then-applicable House Charlotte sales price limit.
- Affordability Period: the Affordable Units shall have an affordability period of 15 years.
- Construction: the Affordable Units shall be of a similar size and quality consistent with the other dwellings in the Development.
- Delivery: the Affordable Units must be among the first 55 units built within the overall Development.
§ Staff support the request to extend the affordable housing Development Period for three years following the conveyance. If the two Affordable Units are not complete and available for occupancy by the conclusion of the Development Period, the city will have the right of reverter to return the Property to the city.
