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 21.7621-acre property located along the east side of Mt. Holly Huntersville Road, west of I-485 in northwest Mecklenburg County.
* The property is owned by Oakdale Owner LP.
* The site is largely vacant, and the existing single-family home will be removed prior to any redevelopment. The petitioned area is zoned R-8MF (CD), which allows for multi-family residential uses up to eight dwelling units per acre and R-3, which allows for single family residential uses up to three dwelling units per acre.
* The petitioned area consists of four parcels; parcel identification numbers: 033-111-07, 033-111-16, 033-281-01, and 033-111-18.
* The property is located within Charlotte's extraterritorial jurisdiction and does not share boundaries with current city limits.
* The intent of the annexation is to enable the development of 140 single family attached units on the site.
Consistent with City Council Policies
* The annexation is consistent with voluntary annexation policy approved by City Council on March 24, 2003; more specifically this annexation:
- Will not adversely affect the city's ability to undertake future annexations;
- Will not have undue negative impact on city finances or services; and
- Will not result in a situation where unincorporated areas will be encompassed by new city limits
