This petition rezones an approximately 2.11-acre parcel at 3400 N Graham Street in Charlotte from ML-2 (Manufacturing & Logistics-2) to Innovation Mixed-Use Conditional (IMU-CD), prohibiting residential uses. The change allows all by-right and conditional IMU uses—such as commercial, office, and artisan industrial—with the exception of housing. The request aims to diversify land uses along the North Graham corridor as part of the NGNT Corridor of Opportunity, shifting entitlements away from solely industrial activities. Staff recommends approval despite the 2040 Policy Map’s Manufacturing & Logistics designation, citing alignment with the 2040 Comprehensive Plan goal for diverse and resilient economic opportunity. The site is currently developed with industrial facilities and sits among warehousing, auto repair, and commercial uses. A community meeting was held with one attendee, and no outstanding transportation or utility issues were identified. Trip generation under IMU will be determined at permitting. This rezoning will enable new business and employment opportunities on a long-standing industrial parcel.
