Rezoning Petition 2025-046 proposes to rezone approximately 0.17 acres located west of Tappan Place, north of Herrin Avenue, and east of The Plaza in Charlotte, NC, from Commercial General (CG) to Neighborhood 1-C (N1-C). The staff recommends approval, stating the rezoning is consistent with the 2040 Policy Map recommendation for the Neighborhood 1 Place Type. The site is currently vacant and lies at the transition between The Plaza's commercial corridor and established single-family neighborhoods. The proposed N1-C zoning district will permit residential development, limiting future development to uses compatible with the existing single-family context. This change aims to eliminate potentially incompatible commercial uses currently allowed under the CG zoning. The proposal supports the 10-Minute Neighborhood concept by placing future residents close to daily amenities and bus transit. The current entitlement is 302 trips per day, while the proposed N1-C zoning is estimated at 15 trips per day.
