Explanation
§ The city has received a recommendation from the Charlotte-Mecklenburg Historic Landmarks Commission (HLC) to designate the Ervin Building as a local historic landmark.
§ On June 28, 2021, a public hearing was conducted on the historic landmark designation for the property known as the Ervin Building. No comments from the public were received.
§ The Ervin Building is located at 4037 East Independence Boulevard in Council District 5.
§ Designation of this property could significantly contribute to its long-term preservation.
§ The Ervin Building is listed under Parcel Identification Numbers 13-111-110 and 13-111-114, and the recommended designation would include the interior and exterior of the building and the land associated with the tax parcels.
§ The property is zoned MUDD-O mixed use development.
§ The property is owned by The Ervin Building LLC.
§ Based on the current value, the aggregate potential amount of deferrable taxes for the two properties would be approximately $1,533 for the City of Charlotte taxes and $2,717 for Mecklenburg County taxes.
