The Charlotte City Council has approved Rezoning Petition 2024-122 by Mintworth Commons Holdings LLC, changing the zoning of a 0.33-acre vacant site from Neighborhood Services (NS) to General Commercial (CG). The rezoning aligns with the 2040 Policy Map’s recommendation for commercial use and supports the expansion of retail and service options in an established shopping center. The site is strategically positioned along Margaret Wallace Road, a high-traffic arterial route, and is walkable from nearby residential neighborhoods. The rezoning does not allow drive-through or vehicle-oriented uses, maintaining a pedestrian-friendly retail environment. The site is also accessible via the CATS 52x express bus route, enhancing connectivity for commuters.
This rezoning supports the continued growth of Mintworth Commons as a retail hub, improving access to goods and services for nearby residents. It reinforces Charlotte’s commitment to mixed-use and pedestrian-oriented commercial development.
