Explanation
§ The city has received a petition for voluntary annexation of private property.
§ Public hearings are required prior to City Council action on annexation requests.
§ The property is located within Charlotte’s extraterritorial jurisdiction.
§ The area proposed for annexation shares boundaries with current city limits.
§ Annexation of this area will allow for more orderly development review, extension of city services, capital investments, and future annexation processes.
§ The 3.637-acre “Ahsul Commercial Phase” site is in northwest Mecklenburg County. The property is located along the west side of Oakdale Road and the south side of Mt. Holly-Huntersville Road.
- The property is owned by Mt. Holly Investments.
- The site is currently developed with two single-family dwellings and associated accessory buildings that will be removed prior to any redevelopment.
- The petitioner has plans to redevelop the site with 30,000 square feet of retail uses.
- The property is zoned CG(CD) (General Commercial Conditional) which allows for general commercial development.
§ Rezoning petition 2023-071 rezoned the site in June of 2024 from N1-A to CG(CD). The site’s entitlements under the approved conditional plan allow for a neighborhood shopping center.
- The property is located immediately adjacent to Council District 2.
- The petitioned area consists of three parcels: parcel identification numbers 033-241-10, 033-241-09, 033-241-08.
Consistency 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.
