The Charlotte City Council has approved Rezoning Petition 2024-103 by Rocky River Road Partners, LLC, changing the zoning of a 24.46-acre parcel from N1-A and R-8MF(CD) to N2-A(CD). The rezoning allows for 127 multifamily attached homes, addressing the need for additional housing options as identified in the city’s 2040 Comprehensive Plan. The development includes public streets, private alleys, preserved open space, and an 8-foot multi-use path connecting nearby neighborhoods. The site is located near Reedy Creek Nature Preserve, a CMS elementary school, and a neighborhood center, promoting walkability and accessibility. The rezoning was approved despite being inconsistent with the 2040 Policy Map due to its alignment with equitable growth strategies and neighborhood diversity initiatives.
This rezoning supports the demand for new housing options in a growing area of Charlotte. It improves connectivity with nearby parks and schools while maintaining open space, ensuring balanced urban development.
