The Charlotte City Council approved Petition 2025-025, submitted by The Housing Partnership, Inc., to rezone approximately 10.37 acres located east of Freedom Drive, west of Camp Greene Street, and north of Maryland Avenue. The rezoning changes the current R-3 (Residential Single Family) and B-1 (Neighborhood Business) districts to MUDD-O (Mixed-Use Development District - Optional). This approval facilitates the development of an affordable multi-family housing community comprising up to 260 dwelling units. The staff report recommended approval, citing the development's contribution to affordable housing within the community. The motion to approve was passed with a unanimous vote of 7-0. The MUDD-O zoning district allows for a flexible mix of residential, commercial, and other uses, tailored in this instance to accommodate a significant affordable housing project.
