The Charlotte City Council, on October 20, 2025, approved Rezoning Petition 2025-071, affecting a 1.25-acre parcel situated on the east side of Freedom Drive, north of Tuckaseegee Road. The property's previous zoning, a combination of TOD-MC (Transit Oriented Development - Mixed-Use Commercial) and R-3 (Residential), has been changed to TOD-MR (Transit Oriented Development - Mixed-Use Residential). This approval paves the way for a significant development comprising up to 300 multifamily units alongside up to 10,000 square feet of non-residential space. The decision represents a strategic shift from a commercially-oriented, lower-density residential mix towards a higher-density, predominantly residential mixed-use district, aligning with the city's transit-oriented development objectives.
