The petition proposes rezoning 84.16 acres from multiple zoning categories to UR-2, MUDD(CD), and MUDD-O with 5-years vested rights to facilitate a large-scale mixed-use development. This project will include various housing types, workforce housing attainable to households earning 80% or less of AMI, and community facilities. Key features include a 2.5-acre park dedicated to Mecklenburg County, greenway access, and extensive pedestrian infrastructure improvements. The project will create a new walkable 10-minute neighborhood with substantial landscape buffers to mitigate impacts on adjacent single-family areas.
This decision revitalizes a significant corridor by promoting sustainable, inclusive, and transit-oriented development. It aligns with Charlotte's goals for Neighborhood Diversity, Housing Access, and Healthy, Active Communities.
