The Charlotte City Council approved a spot rezoning petition (2025-033) from R-3 (Single Family Residential) to MUDD-O (Mixed Use Development District, Optional) for a 4.29-acre site located at 11200 Old Statesville Road. This decision permits the development of up to 45 townhome units. Key conditions include a minimum 15-foot landscape buffer along Old Statesville Road, specific architectural standards for front elevations using brick, stone, or fiber cement siding, and requirements for pedestrian connections within the site. The proposal also mandates the preservation of existing trees where feasible. The approval was unanimous, with a 7-0 vote by the City Council on June 17, 2025, following a public hearing and a recommendation for approval from city staff. The new MUDD-O district provides flexibility for mixed-use development, enabling a higher residential density than the previous R-3 zoning, which was intended for single-family detached homes.
