This petition proposes the development of up to 64 multi-family attached dwelling units on approximately 5.24 acres. The site, currently undeveloped, is located on the northwest corner of Mallard Creek Road and Hubbard Road, and to the east of Garrison Drive in Charlotte, NC. The rezoning seeks to change the current INST(CD) (Institutional, conditional) zoning to N2-A(CD) (Neighborhood 2-A, conditional). Staff recommended approval of the petition, despite its inconsistency with the 2040 Policy Map, which recommends a Neighborhood 1 Place Type for the site. The rationale for approval cited the site's existing development rights for a residential independent living facility with up to 107 units. Additionally, the site is adjacent to a recently developed multi-family project designated as Neighborhood 2 Place Type. Its proximity to Neighborhood Center Place Type nodes and its potential to address an identified lack of Access to Housing Opportunity also supported the recommendation. The Zoning Committee voted 7-0 to recommend approval, aligning with the staff's positive assessment. Architectural standards for the proposed development include a maximum building height of 48 feet and two stories. Buildings are limited to a maximum of 5 dwelling units and must present their front facades to the street. Usable porches or stoops with minimum dimensions of 4 feet deep by 6 feet wide are required. A variety of building materials are permitted, excluding vinyl as a primary material. Site improvements include a 12-foot multi-use path and an 8-foot planting strip along Mallard Creek Road frontage. An 8-foot sidewalk and planting strip will be installed along Hubbard Road and Bisaner Road frontages. Vehicular access will be via a private alley network off Hubbard Road, with all transportation improvements to be completed before the first certificate of occupancy.
