PUBLIC COMMENT

7. Public Comment on Amendments to the Charlotte Streets

Map and Charlotte Streets Manual

Action:

Receive public comment on amendments to the Charlotte Streets Map and Charlotte Streets

Manual.

Staff Resources:

Debbie Smith, Transportation

Katie Witherspoon, Transportation

Jake Carpenter, Transportation

Explanation

On August 22, 2022, City Council adopted the current Charlotte Streets Map and the Charlotte

Streets Manual.

The Streets Map and Streets Manual are key technical support documents to the Unified

Development Ordinance (UDO) that further the goal of creating safe and equitable mobility

outlined in the Strategic Mobility Plan and the Charlotte Future 2040 Comprehensive Plan.

The Charlotte Streets Map is a digital map that shows future multimodal cross-sections for all of

Charlotte’s arterial streets and the location of all collector streets. The Map also provides key

information about streetscape and curb lines referenced in the UDO.

Changes to a Street Classification (Street Type) require City Council approval.

The Streets Manual is a technical document that supports the subdivision, streets, and other

infrastructure regulations in the UDO. The Streets Manual includes the components below:

Streets Map supporting document, which provides detailed explanations of the content in

the digital Streets Map;

Access Management and Driveway Design, which provides guidance, rules, and processes

for developers and property owners seeking access to public streets; and

Comprehensive Transportation Review Guidelines, which includes Traffic Impact Study

guidance to provide a multimodal review of transportation-related impacts from

development and outlines mitigations.

Proposed Changes

The proposed amendments to the Charlotte Streets Map include reclassification of Woody Point

Road from a collector street to a local street.

The proposed amendments to the Charlotte Streets Manual include:

Additional guidance related to Fee In Lieu provisions for Tier 3 parking reduction requests

and parking demand management assessments; and

Amendments that are primarily administrative in nature and are intended to provide

enhanced clarity and further alignment with corresponding UDO requirements, including:

Updated zoning district references and additional minor clarifications,

Updated language guiding multimodal assessment mitigation options, and

Clarifying revisions to the language guiding Charlotte Streets Map amendments.

The final drafts of the amended Streets Map and amended Streets Manual are planned to be

presented to City Council for adoption on August 24, 2026.

Neighborhood Improvement Bonds, and $125,000,000 of Housing Bonds, and

Adopt a resolution setting the General Obligation Bond Referendum for November 3,

2026.

Staff Resource(s):

Matthew Hastedt, Finance

Mitali Shah, Finance

Explanation

On June 8, 2026, City Council approved:

The Fiscal Year (FY) 2027 Budget and FY 2027-2031 Capital Investment Plan, which

includes a $425,000,000 bond referendum on November 3, 2026; and

Resolutions authorizing staff to proceed with actions necessary to conduct a General

Obligation Bond Referendum.

On June 22, 2026, City Council:

Introduced the bond orders for each of the ballot questions; and

Approved a resolution setting a public hearing for each of the bond orders for the August

10, 2026, business meeting.

The current action is the third of four City Council actions. This action will specifically:

Hold a public hearing on each bond order;

Improvement Bonds, and $125,000,000 of Housing Bonds; and

BUSINESS

10. Authorization of 2026 Storm Water Revenue Construction

Period Financing

Action:

Adopt a bond order and resolution authorizing the issuance of up to $110,000,000 of

construction period financing and calling for the execution and delivery of various

documents in connection with the issuance, and

Authorize city officials to take necessary actions to complete the financing, including

making the application to the Local Government Commission.

Staff Resource(s):

Matthew Hastedt, Finance

Angela Charles, Charlotte Water

Mike Davis, Storm Water Services

Explanation

This action authorizes a new construction period financing program for up to $110 million to

provide for the short-term financing for projects in active construction or design.

Construction period financing such as Bond Anticipation Note (BANs) and Commercial Paper

(CP), are commonly used debt financing tools used by municipal governments to help

provide short term interim financing to capital projects.

Utilizing construction period financings reduces interest cost, promotes rate stability, and

provides flexibility in the timing of the spending.

The 2026 Construction Period Financing of up to $110 million is planned in two steps: a

short-term construction period draw program lasting up to 36 months, which will then be

converted into long-term, fixed rate revenue bonds.

The construction period financing will be in the form of a $110 million privately placed drawdown

program, allowing the city to reimburse expenses on a monthly basis during construction and

eliminating interest expense on funds not yet expended on the project.

The $110 million will be used on approved projects and can be supported with current revenues.

Projects funded include major and minor flood control projects.

The North Carolina Local Government Commission reviewed and approved this financing on August

4, 2026.

11. Land Purchase for CMPD’s Northeast Division Station

Action:

Approve the purchase of an approximately 5.566-acre parcel located on the corner of

W.T. Harris Boulevard and Old Statesville Road in the amount of $3,745,000, and

Authorize the City Manager to negotiate and execute all documents necessary to

complete this transaction.

Staff Resource(s):

Bret Balamucki, Police

Dave Johnson, Police

Phil Reiger, General Services

Gregory Crawford, General Services

Explanation

The Charlotte-Mecklenburg Police Department (CMPD) Facilities Strategic Plan outlines facility

goals and priorities through 2035, including renovations, upfits, and construction of new facilities.

The CMPD Facilities Strategic Plan prioritizes prominent, highly visible locations to contribute to the

community’s perception of safety and security and creates a clear CMPD brand that is easily

recognizable, while also ensuring accessibility by being located on main thoroughfares that are

served by public transit.

The acquisition of this property helps advance the ultimate goal of expanding from 13 CMPD patrol

divisions to 15 patrol divisions to support Charlotte’s growth, especially in the northern and

southern portions of the city.

This property will be the future site of a new patrol division, the Northeast Division, which along

with the anticipated completion of Northwest Division will allow the current North Division to be

split into two jurisdictions.

The addition of a new patrol division allows CMPD to assess future staffing needs and to reexamine

division boundaries to better align staff capacity with call volumes as CMPD progresses toward full

staffing of all police officer positions.

The parcel is currently zoned light industrial and located in Council District 2.

As part of the mandatory referral process, the Charlotte-Mecklenburg Planning Commission

recommended acquisition with no additional comments.

This transaction is consistent with City Council’s adopted City-owned Real Estate and Facilities

Policy.

The terms of the transaction are as follows:

$3,745,000 purchase price with a $50,000 earnest money deposit, and

90-day due-diligence period with closing on or before December 9, 2026.

This transaction is funded through previously appropriated land acquisition funding in the General

Capital Investment Plan.

departments after reviewing the project’s scope and potential for division into subcontracting

opportunities.

multiple public agency requirements. By aggregating common needs all agencies are able to

leverage economies of scale, such as volume discounts, improved terms and conditions, reduced

administrative costs, and access to professional and technical expertise.

Annual expenditures are estimated to be $2,500,000.

Explanation

Aviation owns and maintains approximately 100 facilities, which require routine waste removal to

ensure the health and safety of airport passengers, employees, and property.

This contract will provide for waste hauling and disposal services for the dumpsters and

compactors located throughout airport property.

On April 13, 2026, the city issued a Request for Proposals (RFP); four responses were received.

WM of Greater Charlotte best meets the city’s needs in terms of qualifications, experience, cost,

and responsiveness to the RFP requirements.

At renewal, potential price adjustments may be considered based on legitimate and justified

increases in the cost of doing business. The ability to consider price adjustments also allows the

city to accept decreases, if warranted.

Annual expenditures are estimated to be $2,000,000.

Explanation

The city has received a recommendation from the Charlotte-Mecklenburg Historic Landmarks

Commission (HLC) to designate Jefferson-First Union Tower as a local historic landmark.

Public hearings are required prior to City Council action on designation requests.

The Jefferson-First Union Tower is located at 301 South Tryon Street in Council District 1.

Designation of this property could significantly contribute to its long-term preservation.

The Jefferson-First Union Tower is listed under parcel identification number 125-051-01, and the

recommended designation would include the exterior and portions of the interior of the structure

and a portion of the land associated with the tax parcel.

The property is zoned UC.

The property is owned by 301 S Tryon PropCo LLC which is in agreement with the designation

request.

Based on the current value, the potential amount of deferrable taxes would be approximately

$124,525 for the City of Charlotte taxes, $5,440 for Charlotte Special District 1, $17,595 for

Charlotte Special District 3, and $209,397.50 for Mecklenburg County taxes. This estimate is based

on Mecklenburg County’s current appraised value of $162,869,200 for the property. However,

given the April 23, 2026, sale of the property for $36,500,000 and the upcoming 2027 countywide

property revaluations, the potential amount of deferrable taxes is likely to decrease significantly.

REFERENCES

58. Reference - Property Acquisitions and Condemnations

The city has negotiated in good faith to acquire the properties set forth below.

For acquisitions, the property owner and staff have agreed on a price based on appraisals and/or

estimates.

In the case of condemnations, the value was established by an independent, certified appraisal

followed by a third-party appraisal review.

Real Estate staff diligently attempts to contact all property owners by:

Sending introductory letters via regular and certified mail,

Making several site visits,

Leaving door hangers and business cards,

Seeking information from neighbors,

Searching the internet,

Obtaining title abstracts, and

Leaving voice messages.

For most condemnation cases, the city and the property owner(s) have been unable to reach a

settlement. In some cases, condemnation is necessary to ensure a clear title to the property.

If the City Council approves the resolutions, the City Attorney’s office will initiate condemnation

proceedings. As part of the condemnation process, real estate staff and the City Attorney’s Office

will continue to negotiate, including court-mandated mediation, in an attempt to resolve the

matter. Most condemnation cases are settled by the parties prior to going to court.

If a settlement cannot be reached, the case will proceed to a trial before a judge or jury to

determine “just compensation.”

Full text of each resolution is on file with the City Clerk’s Office.

The definition of easement is a right created by grant, reservation, agreement, prescription, or

necessary implication, which one has in the land of another, it is either for the benefit of land, such

as right to cross A to get to B, or “in gross,” such as public utility easement.

The term “fee simple” is a synonym for ownership and is an estate under which the owner is

entitled to unrestricted powers to dispose of the property, and which can be left by will or

inherited.

59. Reference - Property Transaction Process

Property Transaction Process Following City Council Approval for Condemnation

The following overview is intended to provide further explanation for the process of property transactions

that are approved by City Council for condemnation.

Approximately six weeks of preparatory work is required before the condemnation lawsuit is filed. During

this time, the City continues to negotiate with the property owner in an effort to reach a mutual

settlement.

If a settlement is reached, the condemnation process is stopped, and the property transaction

proceeds to a real estate closing.

If a settlement cannot be reached, the condemnation lawsuit is filed. Even after filing,

negotiations continue between the property owner and the City’s legal representative. Filing of the

condemnation documents allows:

The City to gain access and title to the subject property so the capital project can proceed

on schedule.

The City to deposit the appraised value of the property in an escrow account with the Clerk

of Court. These funds may be withdrawn by the property owner immediately upon filing,

and at any time thereafter, with the understanding that additional funds transfer may be

required at the time of final settlement or at the conclusion of litigation.

If a condemnation lawsuit is filed, the final trial may not occur for 18 to 24 months; however, a

vast majority of the cases settle prior to final trial. The City’s condemnation attorney remains

actively engaged with the property owner to continue negotiations throughout litigation.

North Carolina law requires that all condemnation cases go through formal non-binding

mediation, at which an independent certified mediator attempts to facilitate a successful

settlement. For the minority of cases that do not settle, the property owner has the right to

a trial by judge or jury in order to determine the amount of compensation the property

owner will receive.
