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 a 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 41.39-acre “Stoneygreen Area” site is located north of Robinson Church Road and south of Plaza Road in east Mecklenburg County. The property abuts Hood Road.
- The property currently is occupied with a single-family home and barn.
- The petitioner has plans to construct between 150 and 160 single-family residential dwelling units on the site.
- The property is zoned (R-4) single-family residential district which allows four single-family residential units per acre.
- The property is located immediately adjacent to Council District 5.
- The petitioned area consists of two parcels, Parcel Identification Numbers 10812101 and 10812119.
Consistency with City Council Policies
§ The annexation is consistent with voluntary annexation policy approved by City Council on March 24, 2003:
- 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;
- Per policy, voluntary annexations that encompass unincorporated areas by new city limits may be approved if either of the following conditions exist:
§ A petitioner for a voluntary annexation would experience a significant hardship if the annexation were not approved; or
§ Under the facts of a particular voluntary annexation petition, the city’s interests are served by varying the application of one of more of these policies.
- This voluntary annexation is being recommended because the city’s interests will be served by annexing the petitioned property.
