Explanation
* Public hearings to obtain community input are required prior to City Council taking action on annexation requests.
* The City of Charlotte seeks the annexation of a city-owned parcel. This 6.590-acre "Dixie River Road Firehouse No. 44" site is located along the east side of Dixie River Road, west of Interstate 485, south of West Boulevard in western Mecklenburg County.
* This parcel is currently vacant and will be constructed with future, funded Firehouse No. 44.
* The petitioned area consists of one parcel: parcel identification number 141-281-04.
* The property is located within Charlotte's extraterritorial jurisdiction and shares a boundary with current city limits.
* Annexation of this property is required to develop planned city infrastructure. The firehouse will service surrounding areas and provide critical resource relief to Charlotte Fire Department, ensuring service that meets established industry and local standards.
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.
