Explanation
§ In February 2010, the Charlotte-Mecklenburg Police Department (CMPD) adopted the Facilities Strategic Plan, which outlines facility goals through 2025 and prioritized the transition from leased division offices to City-owned stations. The Facilities Strategic Plan was updated in 2016 and identified construction of the Independence Division Station as a top priority.
§ McEwen Associates & McDowell/Cochrane, LLC owns 0.06 acres off Independence Boulevard at City View Drive and Conference Drive in Council District 5, zoned B-2 (business). The parcel includes a billboard.
§ This parcel will be assembled with an adjacent parcel (parcel identification number 165-012-01) acquired on October 10, 2018 from the North Carolina Department of Transportation.
§ The parcel is well-situated to meet CMPD’s objectives to provide quality and efficient service, and be highly visible and accessible within the community.
§ The terms of the acquisition are as follows:
- Negotiated purchase price of $90,000, and
- Closing is expected to occur in December 2018.
§ CMPD Independence Division currently leases 10,000 square feet in the building at 9315 Monroe Road, in Council District 6, for $105,235 annually. The lease expires on May 31, 2023.
