Explanation
§ The city has received a recommendation from the Charlotte-Mecklenburg Historic Landmarks Commission to designate the Savona Mill as a local historic landmark.
§ Public hearings are required prior to City Council action on designation requests.
§ The Savona Mill is located at 528 South Turner Avenue in Council District 2.
§ Designation of this property could significantly contribute to its long-term preservation.
§ The Savona Mill is listed under parcel identification number 071-114-17, and the recommended designation would include the interior and exterior of the structure and an approximately 3.168-acre rectangular portion of land associated with this tax parcel incorporating and immediately surrounding the entirety of the building’s overall principal structure.
§ The property is zoned MUDD-O which allows for mixed use development with additional modified standards as previously specified and approved within the MUDD-O application.
§ The property is owned by Savona Mill Office (NC), LLC.
§ Based on the current value, the potential amount of deferrable taxes would be approximately $9,716.09 for the City of Charlotte taxes and $17,652 for Mecklenburg County taxes.
