The petition (2025-010) is a conventional rezoning request by David Phillips for a 1.04-acre site on the east side of Rockford Court in Charlotte, NC. The site, currently occupied by a single-family home, is proposed to be rezoned from N1-B (Neighborhood 1-B) to N1-C (Neighborhood 1-C). Both zoning districts allow for single-family homes, duplexes, and triplexes. The N1-C designation, however, permits smaller minimum lot sizes and widths, which enables a modest increase in housing density while preserving the neighborhood's existing form and character. The petition aligns with the 2040 Policy Map's recommendation for Neighborhood 1 Place Type and advances goals for 10-Minute Neighborhoods and Neighborhood Diversity & Inclusion by allowing more housing types. The Zoning Committee voted 6-0 to recommend approval of this petition.
