6. Rezoning Petition: 2016-131 by Halvorsen Development
Corporation
Location: Approximately 1.63 acres located on the northeast corner of Ridge Road and Prosperity Church
Road. (Council District 4 - Phipps)
Current Zoning: UR-2(CD) (urban residential, conditional) and NS (neighborhood services)
Proposed Zoning: NS SPA (neighborhood services, site plan amendment) and NS (neighborhood
services)
Zoning Committee Recommendation:
The Zoning Committee voted 4-2 to recommend APPROVAL of this petition.
Staff Recommendation: Staff disagrees with the recommendation of the majority of the Zoning
Committee.
Statement of Consistency:
§ The Zoning Committee found the allowed uses consistent with the Prosperity Hucks Area Plan;
however, the petition is inconsistent with the specific recommendations of the plan, based on
information from the staff analysis and the public hearing, and because:
§ The plan recommends a mix of uses including retail/service, office, institutional, and residential for
the area in which the site is located; and
§ The plan contains specific recommendations to create a pedestrian oriented mixed- use center in
the area.
§ However, this petition was found to be reasonable and in the public interest, based on information
from the staff analysis and the public hearing, and because:
§ There needs to be another restaurant or food facility in the immediate vicinity; and
§ This particular site plan is conducive to have some walk in traffic; and
§ The plan creates outdoor spaces for people to use.

7. Rezoning Petition: 2016-139 by Charter Properties,
Inc./Browder Group Real Estate, LLC
Update: Petitioner Requesting Deferral to July 17, 2017
Location: Approximately 65.7 acres located on the northwest corner at the intersection of West Mallard
Creek Church Road and Interstate 85. (Council District 4 - Phipps)
Current Zoning: R-3 (single family, residential), RE-1 (research), and RE-3(CD) (research, conditional)
Proposed Zoning: MUDD-O (mixed use development, optional) and R-12MF(CD) (multi -family
residential, conditional), with five-year vested rights.
Zoning Committee Recommendation:
The Zoning Committee voted 7-0 to recommend APPROVAL of this petition.
Staff Recommendation: Staff agrees with the recommendation of the Zoning Committee.
Statement of Consistency:
§ The Zoning Committee finds a portion of the site consistent with the Northeast Area Plan and a portion
of the site inconsistent with the adopted plan, based on the information from the staff analysis and the
public hearing, and because:
§ The portion of the site proposed for a mix of commercial uses is consistent with the Northeast Area
Plan recommendation for office/research/retail uses. However, the portion of the site proposed for
multi-family use is inconsistent with the Northeast Area Plan recommendation for
office/research/retail uses and residential use up to four dwelling units per acre.
§ However, this petition is found to be reasonable and in the public interest, based on the information
from the staff analysis and the public hearing, and because:
§ The subject property is located in an I-85 interchange area which was identified in the Northeast
District Plan (which preceded the Northeast Area Plan) for an expansion of research uses outside of
the University Research Park; and
§ The Northeast Area Plan updated that land use recommendation to include a range of commercial
uses (office/research/ retail), along with a recommendation for improved connectivity in the area
and an integrated site plan; and the proposed development has been designed to provide the
integrated and interconnected development recommended by the plan. Commercial development,
consistent with the plan, is proposed for the part of the site closest to West Mallard Creek Church
Road; and
§ Multi-family development is requested for the remainder of the site, instead of the non-residential
uses identified by the plan. The addition of multi-family results in a mix of uses, instead of more
isolated commercial development; and
§ The requested development has been designed to respond to the transportation context by placing
the most auto-oriented uses which will require high levels of vehicular access, specifically the
outparcels and large EDEE (eating/drinking/ entertainment establishment) closest to the interstate
interchange; and
§ The site plan provides a transition from the auto-oriented area to a walkable commercial street
which will connect to the multi-family development in the northern portion of the site; and
§ The area that the plan recommends for single family development is proposed to be used for a 75
-foot buffer area abutting existing single family homes, and a segment of the public street which
will connect Mallard Creek Church Road and Galloway Road; and
§ In addition to the new street connecting to Galloway Road, the proposed development will provide
City of Charlotte Page 6 Printed on 7/14/2017
City Council Zoning Meeting Meeting Agenda June 19, 2017
a number of transportation improvements. These include reservation of right-of-way for a future
east-west crossing of I-85 at Galloway Road, and a new signalized intersection to create site
access and set up for a potential new connection in the adjacent University Research Park.

8. Rezoning Petition: 2017-042 by Rocky River Road Associates,
LLC
Location: Approximately 77.31 acres located east of Interstate 485 between Caldwell Road and Rocky
River Road. (Outside City Limits)
Current Zoning: R-8MF (CD) (multi-family residential, conditional), R-12MF (CD) (multi-family
residential, conditional), O-2(CD) (office, conditional), and former right-of-away with no established
zoning.
Proposed Zoning: CC (commercial center) and the establishment of CC (commercial center).
Zoning Committee Recommendation:
The Zoning Committee voted 6-0 to recommend APPROVAL of this petition.
Staff Recommendation:
Staff agrees with the recommendation of the Zoning Committee.
Statement of Consistency:
§ The Zoning Committee found this petition to be inconsistent with the Rocky River Area Plan,
based on information from the staff analysis and the public hearing, and because:
§ The plan recommends 646 for sale multi-family residential dwellings, and 30,000 square feet
of office uses, as amended by rezoning petition 2008-014.
§ However, this petition was found to be reasonable and in the public interest, based on the
information from the staff analysis and the public hearing, and because:
§ This plan modifies an existing approved site plan for a development that is split across
jurisdictional boundaries, with part of the site located in Charlotte’s extraterritorial jurisdiction
and part located within the Town of Harrisburg; and
§ The proposed plan provides a more unified, master planned development with a walkable
pedestrian environment, particularly in the commercial area, and unified architectural
standards; and
§ The proposal reduces the number of residential units in the City of Charlotte jurisdiction from
646 multi-family units to 515 townhome and multi-family units, resulting in a greater mix of
housing types; and
§ While the increase in non-residential development from 30,000 square feet of office use to
191,000 square feet of commercial uses is inconsistent with the adopted plan, the increase in
commercial development will result in a greater integration of residential and non-residential
uses and the creation of a new pedestrian oriented main street; and
§ The Harrisburg Area Land Use Plan (2010), for the portion of the development to be located in
the Town of Harrisburg, recommends a mix of uses that combines commercial and
civic/institutional land uses with a mixture of housing types where supported by infrastructure in
the area adjacent to the Charlotte site. This rezoning enables the overall development to be
more cohesive and related across jurisdictional boundaries.

9. Rezoning Petition: 2017-044 by Jacobs Fork Properties, LLC
Location: Approximately 3.31 acres located on the east side of Craig Avenue along Lydia Ridge Lane
between Eastview Drive and Richland Drive. (Council District 5 - Ajmera)
Current Zoning: R-4 (single family residential)
Proposed Zoning: UR-2(CD) (urban residential, conditional)
Zoning Committee Recommendation:
The Zoning Committee voted 7-0 to recommend APPROVAL of this petition as modified.
Staff Recommendation:
Staff agrees with the recommendation of the Zoning Committee.
Statement of Consistency:
§ The Zoning Committee found this petition to be consistent with the residential land use recommended
in the South District Plan, based on information from the staff analysis and the public hearing, and
because:
§ The plan recommends residential land uses; and
§ The site meets the criteria set forth in the General Development Policies (GDPs) for an increase in
density up to five dwelling units per acre.
§ Therefore, this petition was found to be reasonable and in the public interest, based on information
from the staff analysis and the public hearing, and because:
§ The proposed infill development provides residential uses that are consistent with the adopted area
plan; and
§ The subject property is adjacent to single family homes fronting Craig Avenue; and
§ The UR-2 (urban residential) district is intended to protect and enhance designated single family
areas and to encourage appropriate infill development within these areas; and
§ Sites along Craig Avenue provide a similar lot width, setback, and spacing as the existing adjacent
dwellings along Craig Avenue; and
§ Structures adjacent to existing dwellings along Eastview Drive provide appropriate building
separation, screening and transition of height to those dwellings; and
§ The site is located within walking distance of the Oakhurst Neighborhood Park; and
§ The proposal assembles all contiguous without leaving isolated properties;

10. Rezoning Petition: 2017-048 by Camp Greene Properties, LLC
Location: Approximately 0.357 acres located at the northeast intersection of Belmont Avenue and
Pegram Street, east of Allen Street. (Council District 1 - Kinsey)
Current Zoning: R-5 (single family residential)
Proposed Zoning: MUDD-O (mixed use development district, optional)
Zoning Committee Recommendation:
The Zoning Committee voted 7-0 to recommend APPROVAL of this petition.
Staff Recommendation:
Staff agrees with the recommendation of the Zoning Committee.
Statement of Consistency:
§ The Zoning Committee found this petition to be inconsistent with the Belmont Area Revitalization Plan,
based on information from the staff analysis and the public hearing, and because:
§ The area plan recommends single family residential uses at a density of up to five units per acre.
§ However, this petition was found to be reasonable and in the public interest, based on information
from the staff analysis and the public hearing, and because:
§ Belmont Area Revitalization Plan reflected the community’s desire to maintain and upgrade the
convenience-type retail services located in the neighborhood and also create additional, accessible retail
nodes; and
§ Through the plan development process, one recurring issue noted was the need for new commercial
development convenient to residents, as opposed to some existing businesses at the time that did not serve
the needs of residents (i.e. liquor stores); and
§ Therefore, the adopted plan recommended that several of the existing corner store sites, including the
subject property, transition into single family residential or other more compatible uses with the
established development pattern; and
§ However, this site is developed with a commercial structure that is being considered for status as a Historic
Landmark by the Historic Landmarks Commission. The rezoning proposes reuse of the existing structure
known as the Red Front Department Store built in 1902; and
§ As proposed, the rezoning will allow uses that will complement the established neighborhood, and the
petition notes that food will be sold in any establishment where alcohol is sold on site; and
§ In addition, this property is located adjacent to an existing non-residential building with current tenants and
across the street to an industrial site along Belmont Avenue.

Location: Approximately 27.54 acres located on the east side of Park Road between Arbor Pointe Drive
and Smithfield Church Road. (Council District 6 - Smith)
Current Zoning: R-3 (single family residential) and INST (CD) (institutional, conditional)
Proposed Zoning: INST (CD) (institutional, conditional) and INST (CD) SPA (institutional, conditional,
site plan amendment)
Zoning Committee Recommendation:
The Zoning Committee voted 7-0 to recommend APPROVAL of this petition.
Staff Recommendation:
Staff agrees with the recommendation of the Zoning Committee.
Statement of Consistency:
§ The Zoning Committee found this petition to be consistent with the South District Plan, based on
information from the staff analysis and the public hearing, and because:
§ The plan recommends institutional uses.
§ Therefore, this petition was found to be reasonable and in the public interest, based on information
from the staff analysis and the public hearing, and because:
§ The site is developed with a senior living facility and has been rezoned several times for
expansions; and
§ The requested petition is for a minor expansion of the recently approved entitlements for the
existing facility, increasing independent units from 379 to 401 and amending the layout of a
portion of the site approved with petition 2016-138; and
§ The expansion will be accommodated by redevelopment of a portion of the site, fronting Park

12. Rezoning Petition: 2017-063 by GodSpeed Motors
Location: Approximately 3.415 acres located on the north side of Vance Davis Drive east of Twin Lakes
Parkway and south of Interstate 485. (Council District 2 - Austin)
Current Zoning: BP (business park)
Proposed Zoning: I-1 (light industrial)
Zoning Committee Recommendation:
The Zoning Committee voted 7-0 to recommend APPROVAL of this petition.
Staff Recommendation:
Staff agrees with the recommendation of the Zoning Committee.
Statement of Consistency:
§ The Zoning Committee found this petition to be consistent with the Northlake Area Plan, based on
information from the staff analysis and the public hearing, and because:
§ The plan recommends office/warehouse land use uses for the subject site.
§ Therefore, this petition was found to be reasonable and in the public interest, based on information
from the staff analysis and the public hearing, and because:
§ The adopted land use calls for office/warehouse uses, as allowed in the proposed I-1 industrial
zoning district; and
§ The site and surrounding area are already developed as light industrial uses allowed under the BP
zoning district; and
§ The I-1 district will allow uses such as auto sales that are not permitted in the BP (business park)
district; and
§ The site backs up to I-485, with no residential uses in close proximity.

13. Rezoning Petition: 2017-075 by Conformity Corporation
Location: Approximately 4.07 acres located on the east side of East Sugar Creek Road between Raleigh
Street and Bearwood Avenue. (Council District 1 - Kinsey)
Current Zoning: I-2 (general industrial)
Proposed Zoning: TOD-M (transit oriented development, mixed use)
Zoning Committee Recommendation:
The Zoning Committee voted 7-0 to recommend APPROVAL of this petition.
Staff Recommendation:
Staff agrees with the recommendation of the Zoning Committee.
Statement of Consistency:
§ The Zoning Committee found this petition to be consistent with the Blue Line Extension Transit Station
Area Plan, based on information from the staff analysis and the public hearing, and because:
§ The plan recommends transit supportive uses.
§ Therefore, this petition was found to be reasonable and in the public interest, based on information
from the staff analysis and the public hearing, and because:
§ The subject site is within a ¼-mile walk of the Sugar Creek Transit Station on the LYNX Blue Line
Extension; and
§ The proposed rezoning allows redevelopment of a site zoned for industrial use to be developed with
transit supportive uses; and
§ The proposal allows for all uses in the TOD-M (transit oriented development - mixed-use) district,
which include office, residential, retail, and civic; and
§ Use of conventional TOD-M (transit oriented development - mixed-use) zoning applies standards
and regulations to create the desired form and intensity of transit supportive development and a
conditional rezoning is not necessary; and
§ TOD (transit oriented development) standards include requirements for appropriate streetscape
treatment, building setbacks, street-facing building walls, entrances, and screening; and
§ The plan for the area does not have a specific height limit and the TOD-M standards will provide a
height transition between nearby single family homes and taller buildings.
