The Charlotte City Council has approved Rezoning Petition 2024-134 by ST. CHARLES AVENUE LLC, changing the zoning of a 0.47-acre single-family residential parcel from Neighborhood 1-A (N1-A) to Neighborhood 1-C (N1-C). This rezoning increases development flexibility by allowing slightly higher residential density and smaller lot sizes while maintaining compatibility with the surrounding neighborhood. The site is located within a well-established single-family residential area near activity centers at Monroe Road and Sharon Amity Road, providing future residents with easy access to retail, dining, and essential services. The rezoning aligns with the city’s 2040 Comprehensive Plan and supports incremental residential growth while ensuring a gradual transition between lower-intensity neighborhoods and nearby multi-family developments.
This rezoning allows for increased residential density in a transit-accessible neighborhood while preserving the character of the surrounding single-family community. It aligns with Charlotte’s goal of creating walkable, mixed-density residential areas with easy access to commercial services and public transit.
