The Charlotte Zoning Committee voted 7-0 to recommend approval for Rezoning Petition 2024-106, proposing a residential community with a maximum of 65 multi-family dwelling units on approximately 5.83 acres. The petition seeks to rezone the site from N1-A (Neighborhood 1-A) to N2-A(CD) (Neighborhood 2-A, Conditional). Staff also recommended approval, despite acknowledging the petition's inconsistency with the 2040 Policy Map's recommendation for the Neighborhood 1 Place Type. The rationale for recommendation cited the site's adjacency to recently developed multi-family attached products, its proximity to goods and services, and its contribution to addressing a housing gap. The proposal includes a 12-foot-wide multi-use path, an 8-foot-wide planting strip, and dedication of Back Creek Greenway area to Mecklenburg County Park and Recreation Department. Additionally, it mandates a 25-foot-wide Class C landscape yard, enhanced open space, and a $25,000 contribution to the Back Creek Church HOA for traffic improvements.
