The petition seeks rezoning of 9.892 acres from ML-1 to IMU to facilitate the development of a mixed-use urban area. This rezoning aligns the site with the 2040 Policy Map, supporting a transition to Innovation Mixed-Use Place Type. The site is surrounded by offices, vehicle repair facilities, single-family residences, and commercial uses, making IMU zoning suitable for its location. This change promotes diverse employment, housing, and service opportunities, fostering economic growth and consistency with the long-term vision for the area.
This decision enhances land use efficiency and economic diversity by promoting mixed-use development in a strategic location. It aligns with Charlotte's goals for Diverse & Resilient Economic Opportunity and supports the 2040 Policy Map vision.
