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.
§ This property is located within Charlotte’s extraterritorial jurisdiction.
§ Area proposed for annexation shares boundary with current city limits.
§ Annexation of this area will allow for more orderly land development review, extension of city services, capital investments, and future annexation processes.
§ The 147.97 acre “Cheyney” site is located southeast of Interstate 485 & Old Statesville Road Interchange and west of Browne Road in northern Mecklenburg County.
- The property is currently vacant with the exception of two single family homes and several detached accessory agricultural buildings.
- The petitioner has plans to construct a master planned residential community with 266-single family residential units and 144-multi-family residential units on the site.
- The property is divided almost equally by two zoning districts. Approximately half of the property is zoned (R-3) Single Family Residential which allows up to three units per acre and half of the property is zoned (MX-3) Mixed Used Conditional permitting residential and major commercial institutional and employment uses.
- The property is located immediately adjacent to City Council District 4.
- Petitioned area consists of one parcel, PID 027-181-86.
Consistent with City Council Policies
§ The annexation is not consistent with all city voluntary annexation policies approved by the 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;
- Will result in a situation where unincorporated area will be encompassed by new city limits. However, the areas are currently only accessible through property within the city limits.
Public Hearing Date
The resolution sets Monday, August 26, 2019 for the public hearing.
