The Charlotte City Council approved a rezoning petition for 500 East Morehead Street from R-3 (Single Family Residential) to MUDD-O (Mixed Use Development District - Optional). This approval paves the way for a new mixed-use development encompassing 300 multi-family units and approximately 10,000 square feet of ground-floor commercial space. The 5.5-acre site will host a development featuring a mix of residential and commercial uses, aiming to create a vibrant urban environment. The project is expected to enhance walkability and provide diverse housing options within the area, aligning with the city's comprehensive plan for smart growth.
