The Charlotte Planning Commission voted 7-2 to recommend approval of a petition to rezone a 0.45-acre parcel at 1100 Providence Road from R-3 (Single-Family Residential) to UMUD (Urban Mixed-Use District) to allow for the construction of a 10-story building with 215 multi-family dwelling units and approximately 2,000 square feet of commercial space. The developer, Providence Hedgemore LLC, plans to demolish the existing single-family home on the site. Key conditions include streetscape improvements along Providence Road and Hedgemore Drive, ensuring public access to the commercial space, and a commitment to providing a minimum of 25% tree canopy coverage on the site. The project aims to increase housing density in a transit-accessible area while integrating ground-floor commercial uses to serve the neighborhood. The Commission's recommendation will now be forwarded to the Charlotte City Council for a final decision.
