Mecklenburg County's rezoning petition 2025-060, covering approximately 27.47 acres, was recommended for approval to transition from R-20MF(CD) (Multi-Family Residential, conditional) to N2-C(EX) (Neighborhood 2-C, exception). This change facilitates the development of a public park on a currently vacant site. The site was previously entitled for 251 multi-family units in 1988, but that development never occurred. The proposed public park will be developed in two phases, featuring passive recreational amenities such as walking paths, nature trails, and a multi-use lawn, alongside an inclusive playground. It will also include future elements like sports courts and a splash pad, exceeding UDO green area requirements by at least 5%. Staff's recommendation for approval is contingent on resolving outstanding issues related to transportation and site and building design, and the petition aligns with the 2040 Policy Map's Neighborhood 2 Place Type recommendation.
