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 41.746-acre “Ahsul Phase 1” site in northern Mecklenburg County. The property is located on the south side of Sunset Road, across from Edmore Boulevard, and east of Oakdale Road.
§ The property is owned by Sunset Rd Investments, LLC.
§ The site is currently developed with five single-family residential units which would 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 eight parcels: parcel identification numbers 037-041-04, 037-041-05, 037-041-06, 037-042-07, 037-042-12, 037-042-16, 037-042-17, and 037-042-18.
§ The property is located within Charlotte’s extraterritorial jurisdiction and shares boundaries with current city limits.
§ The intent of the annexation is to extend municipal services to the site to facilitate the development of 142 duplex units and 69 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.
