The rezoning petition proposes to develop a vacant 10.54-acre site with up to 120 age-restricted multi-family stacked residential units along with accessory uses. The property is located within Charlotte's extraterritorial jurisdiction and is currently zoned MX-2. This rezoning to N2-B(CD) allows the development of senior housing close to neighborhood services and aims to meet the growing demand for housing for seniors. The site plan includes provisions for transportation improvements and dedication of right-of-way, along with a commitment to providing open spaces and amenities such as a community garden and fire pit.
This rezoning addresses the need for more housing options for seniors, which is a growing demographic in the community. It also aligns with goals from the 2040 Comprehensive Plan, such as creating 10-minute neighborhoods and increasing housing access for all.
