Rezoning Petition 2025-020 by Sage Investment Group: CG and ML-1 to N2-C(CD) for 125-Unit Apartment Conversion

  • When: 2025/06/16

  • City: Charlotte
  • State: NC
  • Category: Spot Rezoning
  • Asset Class: Multifamily
  • Planning Department: True

This petition proposes the adaptive reuse of an existing two-story motel and restaurant into up to 125 multi-family stacked residential units, while retaining a neighborhood commercial establishment. The redevelopment will occur within the existing building footprints, maintaining site infrastructure and surface parking. Minor exterior repairs are anticipated. An anti-displacement strategy, in partnership with Crisis Assistance Ministry, includes 90-day notice, re-housing plans, and weekly coordination meetings. The staff recommends approval of the petition, noting its inconsistency with the 2040 Policy Map's Manufacturing and Logistics Place Type but highlighting its alignment with UDO goals for adaptive reuse, sustainability, and infill development. The proposed N2-C zoning district supports moderate-intensity residential housing, filling a market gap for small households. The site's proximity to major roads and transit also aligns with the 2040 Comprehensive Plan's 10-Minute Neighborhoods vision.
