The petition proposes to rezone approximately 11.9 acres from N1-A (Neighborhood 1-A) to N2-A(CD) (Neighborhood 2-A, Conditional) for the development of 70 multi-family attached residential units. The site is located on the north side of Sunset Road, east of Paula Court, and west of Linda Vista Lane. Buildings within the development will be limited to a maximum of four units per building. Staff recommended approval of the petition despite its inconsistency with the 2040 Policy Map, citing the provision of additional housing in an identified housing gap area, the site's proximity to a neighborhood center with retail and services, and the improvement of street connectivity. The Zoning Committee voted 5-2 to recommend approval of this petition on February 4, 2025. A notable point of discussion during the committee meeting was the dedication of a greenway easement, with the petitioner committing to coordinating with Mecklenburg County for access to the future McIntyre Creek Tributary Greenway.
