The Charlotte Zoning Committee voted 7-0 to recommend approval of Rezoning Petition 2024-137, which proposes a residential development with up to 145 dwelling units, including duplex, triplex, quadraplex, and/or multifamily dwelling units. The 13.29-acre site, currently developed with 4 single-family homes, is located along Johnston Oehler Road. The petition seeks to rezone the parcel from N1-A (Neighborhood 1-A) to N2-A(CD) (Neighborhood 2-A, Conditional). The proposed development is inconsistent with the 2040 Policy Map's recommendation for a Neighborhood 1 Place Type, but it is deemed reasonable and in the public interest. It addresses a need for housing in an area identified as lacking Access to Housing Opportunity by the 2040 Comprehensive Plan and provides a thoughtful transition between existing single-family neighborhoods and nearby amenities like Mallard Creek Park and Parkside Elementary School. Conditions include limiting rental units to no more than 20%, a maximum building height of 44 feet for buildings adjacent to Johnston Oehler Road, and an 8-foot planting strip and sidewalk along public roadway frontages. Access will be via a new public local street off Johnston Oehler Road, with a dedicated left turn lane and pedestrian crossing.
