The Charlotte City Council has approved Rezoning Petition 2024-099 by Mecklenburg County, changing the zoning of a 24.75-acre vacant parcel from ML-1 and ML-2 (Manufacturing & Logistics) to IC-2(CD) (Institutional Campus 2, Conditional). This rezoning allows for the development of a community resource center providing governmental, educational, medical, and social services. The rezoning supports the county’s initiative to enhance service access in eastern Charlotte and aligns with the city's 2040 Comprehensive Plan. The development plan includes an 80-foot building height limit and commitments to transportation improvements, including a traffic signal at Sharon Amity Road & Cagle Avenue. The zoning change modifies the 2040 Policy Map designation from Manufacturing & Logistics to a Campus Place Type.
This rezoning facilitates the creation of a vital community resource center, improving access to essential services in east Charlotte. The transition from industrial zoning supports economic diversity and enhances the area's infrastructure while ensuring compliance with urban development standards.
