Explanation
§ Public hearings to obtain community input are required prior to City Council taking action on annexation requests.
§ A petition has been received from the owners of this 3.579-acre property located along the east side of Hood Road and the south side of Plaza Road in eastern Mecklenburg County.
§ The property is owned by Hood Road Partners, LLC.
§ The property is currently vacant and is zoned R-4, which allows for single-family residential uses.
§ The petitioned area consists of a portion of one parcel; parcel identification number (PID): 111-011-09. Most of this parcel is already located within City limits. The annexation area would bring the rest of the parcel into City limits.
§ The property is located within Charlotte’s extraterritorial jurisdiction and shares boundaries with current City limits.
§ The intent of the annexation is to enable the development of 10 single-family homes on the site.
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; and
- Is consistent with the policy to not have undue negative impact on City finances or services.
§ The annexation is inconsistent with the policy to not create unincorporated areas that will be encompassed by new City limits; however, the petitioner is unable to acquire PID 111-011-08, and the parcel is unusable for the petitioner’s planned development.
§ This annexation petition is recommended for approval because despite encompassing PID 111-011-08 with new City limits, the proposed annexation will have a positive impact on City resources and aid the future development of the area.
