Petitioners
Randolph Road Charlotte, LLC - Mr. Jason Bria
Right-of-Way to be Abandoned
The alleyway to be abandoned is located within a block that is bound by Randolph Road, North Dotger Avenue, Vail Avenue, and North Laurel Avenue.
Reason
The petitioner is currently constructing a new town home community where the alleyway will no longer be needed for access. Instead new driveways and access points will be created as part of the overall site plan. Furthermore, this development is not part of a recent rezoning petition as it meets the current R-22 Multi-family zoning requirements.
Notification
As part of the City's notification process, and in compliance with North Carolina General Statute 160A-299, the Charlotte Department of Transportation submitted this abandonment petition for review by the public and City Departments.
