The rezoning petition 2025-081, submitted by the City of Charlotte on behalf of Samaritan's Purse, seeks to rezone approximately 2.9 acres from IMU (Innovation Mixed-Use) to OFC (Office Flex Campus). The vacant parcel is located on the west side of Nations Ford Road, south of Red Roof Drive, and north of Forest Point Boulevard in Charlotte, NC. Staff recommends approval of the petition, finding it consistent with the 2040 Policy Map's recommendation for the Innovation Mixed-Use Place Type. The OFC zoning district is intended to accommodate large-scale office, research, and medical campuses, potentially including light industrial components and supporting uses like eating, drinking, retail, and personal services. This zoning type emphasizes internal and external walkability, providing connections both on-site and to the external pedestrian network. The site is adjacent to existing OFC-zoned properties to the north and east. The proposed zoning is estimated to generate 565 trips per day based on a 43,500 SF office development. No outstanding transportation issues or significant comments were raised by various city departments, including Charlotte Area Transit System, Housing and Neighborhood Services, Solid Waste Services, Fire Department, and Historic Landmarks.
