Explanation
* Public hearings to obtain community input are required prior to City Council taking action on annexation requests.
* The City of Charlotte seeks the annexation of a city-owned parcel. This 6.590-acre "Dixie River Road Firehouse No. 44" site is located along the east side of Dixie River Road, west of Interstate 485, south of West Boulevard in western Mecklenburg County.
* This parcel is currently vacant and will be constructed with future, funded Firehouse No. 44.
* The property is located immediately adjacent to City Council District 3.
* The petitioned area consists of one parcel: parcel identification number 141-281-04.
* The property is located within Charlotte's extraterritorial jurisdiction and shares boundaries with current city limits.
* Annexation of this property is required to develop planned city infrastructure. Once constructed, this firehouse will service surrounding areas and provide critical resource relief to Charlotte Fire Department, ensuring equitable service that meets established industry and local standards.
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:
* Is consistent with the policy to not adversely affect the City's ability to undertake future annexations;
* Is consistent with the policy to not have undue negative impact on City finances or services; and
* Is consistent with the policy to not create unincorporated areas that will be encompassed by new city limits.
