The petition proposes a residential community including up to 580 multi-family dwellings and a minimum 7,500 square-feet of commercial uses on approximately 51.78 acres of undeveloped land. The rezoning is from O-1(CD) (Office, Conditional) and RE-3(O) (Research, Optional) to CAC-1(EX) (Community Activity Center-1, Exception). Staff recommended approval, and the Zoning Committee voted 7-0 to recommend approval of this petition. The project will be developed in two phases and includes public benefits such as dedicating 2 acres for open space to Mecklenburg County, constructing buildings to meet NGBS bronze standards, and a $10,000 contribution to Mecklenburg County Park & Recreation for park improvements. Various transportation improvements are also part of the plan.
