Explanation
§ The City has received a recommendation from the Charlotte-Mecklenburg Historic Landmarks Commission (HLC) to designate the Kimberlee Apartments as a local historic landmark.
§ Public hearings are required prior to City Council action on designation requests.
§ The Kimberlee Apartments property is located at 1300 Reece Road in Council District 6.
§ Designation of this property could significantly contribute to its long-term preservation.
§ The Kimberlee Apartments property is listed under Parcel Identification Number(s) 175-181-02, and the recommended designation would include the common areas within the interior of the building, the exterior of the building, the building’s landscape and hardscape elements and associated auxiliary structures, including without limitation the elevated walkway, and the land associated with the tax parcel, excluding the interior of the building’s individual residential units.
§ The property is zoned R-22MF (multi-family residential).
§ The property is owned by The Kimberlee, Incorporated.
§ Based on the current value, the potential amount of deferrable taxes would be approximately $28,191 for the City of Charlotte taxes and $49,960 for Mecklenburg County taxes.
