This rezoning petition (2024-130) seeks to change the zoning of approximately 1.44 acres on the west side of West Tremont Avenue, east of I-77, and south of West Boulevard in Charlotte, NC. The current zoning is ML-1 (Manufacturing & Logistics-1), and the proposed zoning is IMU(CD) (Innovation Mixed Use, Conditional). The petitioner, Abacus Acquisitions LLC, proposes to develop up to 28 multi-family attached dwelling units on the site. Staff recommends approval, acknowledging inconsistency with the 2040 Policy Map's Manufacturing & Logistics Place Type recommendation, but arguing that the IMU district is suitable for areas transitioning from industrial to mixed-use. The project aligns with the intent of the IMU district by accommodating residential uses in a more walkable environment and addresses a high priority need for housing in the area, consistent with 2040 Comprehensive Plan Goals for '10 Minute Neighborhoods'. Conditions include an 8-foot-wide sidewalk, a 25-foot landscape yard, and a $10,000 contribution to CDOT for pedestrian improvements. Prohibited uses include adult establishments, hotels/motels, nightclubs, self-storage, and vehicle fueling/rental/repair facilities.
