The Zoning Committee recommended approval of a rezoning petition (2025-005) from N1-B to N1-D CCO for an approximately 1.96-acre undeveloped parcel in Charlotte, NC. The rezoning allows for the development of small residential communities under the Cottage Court Overlay, which includes a variety of housing types like single-family detached, duplex, and triplex buildings. The committee found the petition consistent with the 2040 Policy Map's Neighborhood 1 Place Type. The Cottage Court Overlay reduces minimum lot size and setbacks, fostering cohesively designed communities around shared open space. This development pattern aligns with the character of the area and aims to diversify housing options in a predominantly single-family dwelling area. The petition had no associated site plan at the time of the recommendation. The Zoning Committee voted 6-0 to recommend approval. The site is located east of Cleve Brown Road, south of Hamilton Russell Lane, and north of Hackberry Creek Trail. It is currently undeveloped. Surrounding properties include single-family homes and multi-family apartments. The petitioner is EB Property Group, LLC, and the property owner is Homer L. Brown.
