This petition proposes a residential development with up to 145 dwelling units, including duplexes, triplexes, quadraplexes, and multifamily units, on approximately 13.29 acres. The site, currently developed with four single-family homes, is located along Johnston Oehler Road in Charlotte. The current zoning is N1-A (Neighborhood 1-A), with a proposed change to N2-A(CD) (Neighborhood 2-A, Conditional). Staff recommended approval of the petition. The Zoning Committee voted 7-0 to recommend approval, despite an inconsistency with the 2040 Policy Map, which recommends a Neighborhood 1 Place Type for the area. The committee found the petition reasonable and in the public interest, citing the need for housing, the site's role as a transition between existing single-family neighborhoods and a park/school area, and its proximity to community amenities. Conditions for approval include limiting rental units to no more than 20%, a maximum building height of 44 feet for buildings adjacent to Johnston Oehler Road, installation of 8-foot planting strips and sidewalks, a 30-foot setback, a 25-foot buffer to the school and park, and specific common open space requirements.
