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.
§ The property is located within Charlotte’s extraterritorial jurisdiction.
§ The area proposed for annexation shares boundaries with current City limits.
§ Annexation of this area will allow for more orderly development review, extension of City services, capital investments, and future annexation processes.
§ The 13.611-acre “Hampton Woods” site is located along the west side of Interstate 485, the north side of Rocky River Road, and southeast of Caldwell Road.
- The property is currently vacant.
- The petitioner has plans to develop 27 single-family residential units on the site.
- The property is zoned R-3, which allows for single-family residential uses.
- The property is located adjacent to Council District 4.
- The petitioned area consists of a portion of one parcel; parcel identification number (PID): 105-381-02. Most of this parcel is already located within City Limits; this annexation area would bring the rest of the parcel into City limits.
Consistent with City Council Policies
§ The annexation is consistent with the following City voluntary annexation policies approved by the 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; and
§ The annexation is inconsistent with the policy to not create unincorporated areas will be encompassed by new City limits; however, the petitioner is unable to acquire PID 105-181-62, and the parcel is unable to be developed due to environmental constraints.
§ This annexation petition is recommended for approval because despite encompassing PID 105-181-62 with new City limits, the proposed annexation will have a positive impact on City resources and aid the future development of the area.
