The petition proposes rezoning 20.12 acres from N1-A to MUDD-O to create a mixed-use development. The plan includes diverse housing types, a 12-foot multi-use path, and enhanced pedestrian facilities along Providence Road and Old Providence Road. The project integrates pedestrian connectivity with adjacent rezonings, aiming to create a 10-minute walkable neighborhood. A Class C buffer and 6-foot masonry wall will mitigate impacts on adjacent properties. However, proposed building heights of up to 85 feet exceed the 2040 Policy Map's guidance, raising concerns about compatibility within the Providence Road corridor.
This decision supports sustainable growth and housing diversity in a key corridor. It aligns with Charlotte's 2040 Comprehensive Plan goals for Neighborhood Diversity, Safe Mobility, and Healthy Communities while addressing urban connectivity and pedestrian infrastructure needs.
