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 23.545-acre “Park Crossing Phase 1” site that is in southwest Mecklenburg County. The property is located along the west side of Steele Creek Road and the south side of Parkside Crossing Drive.
§ The property is owned by Parkside Townhomes, LLC.
§ The site is currently vacant.
§ The annexation area is zoned UR-2(CD) (Urban Residential-2, Conditional).
- Rezoning Petition 2022-161 rezoned the property within the annexation area and parcel identification number 199-061-69A in January of 2024 from N1-A to UR-2(CD). The approved conditional rezoning allows for up to 169 multi-family attached units on the annexation area and adjacent parcel. The adjacent parcel, parcel identification number 199-061-69A, is already within City Limits.
§ The petitioned area consists of one parcel: parcel identification number 199-061-69B.
§ 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 143 multi-family attached dwelling 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 anticipated future land uses, the Charlotte Fire Department noted that the site is within Effective Response Force travel time standards.
§ 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;
- Will not result in a situation where unincorporated areas will be encompassed by new city limits.
