Explanation
§ Public hearings to obtain community input are required prior to City Council taking action on proposed annexations.
§ A 44.33-acre unincorporated City-owned area is located at the intersection of Byrum Drive and NC160 (West Boulevard) in western Mecklenburg County.
§ The property is vacant (and contains small portions of Byrum Drive and NC160 road rights-of-way) and is zoned I-2 Industrial and I-2(CD) Industrial - Conditional.
§ The property consists of two parcels, segments of three other parcels, plus some road right-of-way.
§ The property is located within Charlotte’s extraterritorial jurisdiction and shares boundaries with current city limits.
§ Intent of the annexation is to enable better coordination of roadway improvements associated with the River District development planned to occur nearby and to coordinate future annexation of other nearby unincorporated properties in the future.
§ The effective annexation date for this property is October 9, 2017.
§ The Annexation Ordinance assigns the annexed area to adjacent City Council District 3.
Consistent with City Council Policies
§ The annexation is consistent with the following City voluntary annexation policies approved by the City Council on March 24, 2003:
- Will not adversely affect the City’s ability to undertake future annexations; and
- 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.
