This rezoning petition involves transitioning a 15.98-acre site from O-15(CD) to RAC(EX) zoning to allow a mixed-use development that includes up to 675 multifamily residential units, 277,000 square feet of office, and 3,000 square feet of commercial uses. Conversion rights enable up to 200,000 square feet of office to be repurposed into 300 residential units. The development will incorporate sustainability measures, such as constructing buildings to meet National Green Building Standards, creating publicly accessible open spaces, and contributing $10,000 to community improvements. The project also aligns with the 2040 Comprehensive Plan goals for transit-oriented and sustainable growth.
This rezoning supports increased housing supply in Charlotte, introduces mixed-use developments to a primarily nonresidential area, and aligns with city goals for sustainable growth and transit-oriented development.
