4. Rezoning Petition: 2015-093 by 1351 Woodlawn (Melrose),
LLC
Update: Requesting deferral due to full Council not being present for the
vote on this sufficiently protested petition.
Location: Approximately 2.9 acres located on the south side of Drexel Place and north side of Woodlawn
Road near the intersection of Park Road and Drexel Place and Park Road and Woodlawn Road. (Council
District 1 - Kinsey)
Current Zoning: R-4 (single family residential) and UR-3(CD) (urban residential, conditional)
Proposed Zoning: MUDD-O (mixed use development, conditional)
Zoning Committee Recommendation:
The Zoning Committee voted 5-0 to recommend APPROVAL of this petition as modified.
Staff recommendation:
Staff disagrees with the recommendation of the Zoning Committee as the scale, mass and encroachment
into the single-family area is inconsistent with the adopted area plan.
Statement of Consistency:
Due to an incomplete consistency statement provided to and passed by the Zoning Committee, staff
recommends that Council adopt an updated version of the consistency statement if voting to approve this
petition. The updated version corrects the portion of the statement by the Zoning Committee that
addresses consistency with the Park Woodlawn Area Plan but does not change their rationale for
recommending approval.

LLC
Update: Requesting deferral due to full Council not being present for the
vote on this sufficiently protested petition.
Location: Approximately 2.48 acres located on the southwest corner at the intersection of North
Wendover Road and Melchor Avenue. (Council District 1 - Kinsey)
Current Zoning: R-3 (single family residential)
Proposed Zoning: UR-2(CD) (urban residential, conditional)
Zoning Committee Recommendation:
The Zoning Committee voted 6-0 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 South District Plan, based on
information from the staff analysis and the public hearing, and because:
§ The petition is consistent with the residential use recommended by the South District Plan. In
addition, the site meets the criteria set forth in the General Development Policies for consideration
of an increase in density up to 17 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 property is located on a segment of Wendover with multi-family, office, and government uses.
Immediately east of the site is an existing multi-family development that also has access from
Wendover Road; and
§ The site is separated from existing single family residential units by a stream and a fairly
significant grade change; and
§ The proposed driveway location aligns with a potential future extension of Cascade Circle from
Billingsley Road to Wendover Road; and
§ Access to the site is limited to the single driveway reducing the number of potential driveways
along this heavily traveled portion of Wendover Road.

Update: Petitioner Requesting a one week deferral to (June 27, 2016)
Location: Approximately 6.01 acres located on the west side of Randolph Road between Sloane Square
Way and Rutledge Avenue. (Council District 6 - Smith)
Current Zoning: R-3 (single family residential) and R-8MF (CD)
(multi-family residential, conditional)
Proposed Zoning: UR-2(CD) (urban residential, conditional), with five-year vested rights
Zoning Committee Recommendation:
The Zoning Committee voted 5-0 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 inconsistent with the South District Plan
recommendation for institutional use for the R-3 (single family residential) portion of the site. The R-
8MF (CD) (multi-family residential, conditional) portion of the site is consistent with the multi-family
use recommended by the plan but inconsistent with the density of 7.25 units per acre as amended by
a previous rezoning petition. However, the proposed density is aligned with the General Development
Policies, which support consideration of a density over 17 dwellings per acre, based on information
from the staff analysis and the public hearing, and because:
§ The proposal is for multi-family residential use at a density of 26.28 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 subject site is located on a major thoroughfare on the southern edge of the Cotswold Mixed
Use Activity Center, a priority area to accommodate future growth in an urban, pedestrian-oriented
development form. The proposal has buildings along the street frontage with parking behind, and
provision for good pedestrian connections to the sidewalk/multi-use trail system; and
§ The Centers, Corridors, Wedges Growth Framework recommends moderate (up to 22 dwelling units
per acre) to high (over 22 dwelling units per acre) density residential within Mixed Use Activity
Centers. The proposed density is 26.28 units per acre; and
§ The proposed use is compatible with nearby uses on Randolph Road, both within and outside of the
Activity Center; and
§ The site design provides a transition to the established neighborhood through the use of the
following:
§ Yards (115-foot rear yard, 50-foot side yard along northern property line, and 26-foot side
yard along southern property line); and
§ Buffers (45-foot buffer with a fence along the majority of the rear property line, a 26-foot
buffer with a fence along the southern property lines, and 15-foot buffer with a fence along
the northern property line); and
§ Building heights (limited to three stories and not to exceed 40 feet).

Location: Approximately 0.44 acres located on the south side of Central Avenue between Crystal Road
and Cyrus Drive. (Council District 1 - Kinsey)
Current Zoning: UR-C (CD) (urban residential-commercial, conditional)
Proposed Zoning: NS (neighborhood services)
Zoning Committee Recommendation:
The Zoning Committee voted 6-0 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 Briar Creek/Woodland/Merry Oaks
Small Area Plan, based on information from the staff analysis and the public hearing, and because:
§ The plan was updated by rezoning petition 2008-157, which approved the use of the site for dental
office uses in the existing residential structure.
§ 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 directly fronts Central Avenue and is currently used as a dental office; and
§ Proposed building expansion and additional parking will be located behind the existing structure
and will not change the character of the development as seen from Central Avenue; and
§ Building expansion is designed to blend with architectural style and residential character of the
existing structure; and
§ The dental office will continue to serve the surrounding neighborhood; and
§ Brick monument style sign will be compatible in scale and material with the surrounding residential
structures.

10. Rezoning Petition: 2016-041 by Horizons at Steele Creek, LLC
Location: Approximately 3.22 acres located at the end of Calawood Way near the intersection of Steele
Creek Road and Calawood Way. (Council District 3 - Mayfield)
Current Zoning: R-3 (LLWPA) (single family residential, Lower Lake Wylie Protected Area)
Proposed Zoning: R-17MF (CD) (LLWPA) (multi-family residential, conditional, Lower Lake Wylie
Protected Area)
Zoning Committee Recommendation:
The Zoning Committee voted 6-0 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 inconsistent with the Steele Creek Area Plan, based on
information from the staff analysis and the public hearing, and because:
§ The plan recommends residential at up to four dwelling 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:
§ The subject property is located directly west of the Horizons at Steele Creek multi-family project,
which includes 288 units and is under construction; and
§ This proposal is for a minor addition of 48 units to the existing multi-family development, resulting
in a total of 336 units; and
§ Because the subject property abuts the Horizons at Steele Creek multi-family complex on one side,
is bounded by streets on two other sides, and is only 3.22 acres, single family residential
development on this site would be challenging and the proposed expansion of the Horizons at
Steele Creek multi-family project is a reasonable use of this property; and
§ The proposed R-17MF(CD) (multi-family residential, conditional) zoning will be consistent with the
zoning of the existing Horizons at Steele Creek development; and
§ The proposed expansion of the Horizons at Steele Creek complex will provide for an additional
vehicular access point to the site via the extension of Calawood Way; and
§ Over 40% of the site will be preserved for tree save, and the tree save area will buffer the three
existing single family parcels from the site.

11. Rezoning Petition: 2016-046 by 1101 Central Group, LLC
Location: Approximately 1.24 acres located on the north side of Central Avenue between Hawthorne
Lane and Heath Court. (Council District 1 - Kinsey)
Current Zoning: B-2 PED (general business, pedestrian overlay)
Proposed Zoning: MUDD-O PED 5-Year Vested Rights (mixed use development, optional, pedestrian
overlay, five-year vested rights).
Zoning Committee Recommendation:
The Zoning Committee voted 6-0 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 the retail portion of the petition to be consistent with the Plaza Central
Pedscape Plan; however, the proposed storage is inconsistent with the plan based on information from
the staff analysis and the public hearing, and because:
§ The plan was amended by rezoning petition 2003-110 to allow retail uses with a Pedestrian
Overlay District; and
§ The plan recommends retail for the area proposed for storage.
§ 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:
§ The subject site is located in the Plaza Central commercial district; and
§ The proposed site plan commits to ground floor pedestrian-oriented uses along Central Avenue and
Hawthorne Lane, meeting the intent of the adopted plan to establish pedestrian friendly retail
streets in the Plaza Central area; and
§ The commitment to commercial uses along Hawthorne Lane will also complement the future
streetcar alignment proposed along that street; and
§ The proposed parking structure will be developed on an underutilized space internal to the site and
will not affect the pedestrian environment; and
§ The proposed indoor climate controlled storage units will be located above the structured parking
deck. The storage will be designed to appear similar to an office building, and will have limited
traffic and parking impacts; and
§ The petition also supports the expansion of the area’s street network by extending Heath Court to
the north, setting this area up for future connectivity opportunities.

Store
Location: Approximately 10.22 acres located on the southeast corner at the intersection of Sam Wilson
Road and West Pointe Drive. (Outside City Limits)
Current Zoning: B-2 LLWPA (general business, Lower Lake Wylie Protected Area) and CC LLWPA
(commercial center, Lower Lake Wylie Protected Area)
Proposed Zoning: I-2(CD) LLWPA (general industrial, conditional, Lower Lake Wylie Protected Area)
Zoning Committee Recommendation:
The Zoning Committee voted 6-0 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 Catawba Area Plan, based on
information from the staff analysis and the public hearing, and because:
§ The plan recommends retail land uses for this site.
§ Therefore, 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:
§ The truck stop use, while only allowed in the I-2 (general industrial) zoning district, is in essence a
retail use; and
§ The site is in a Growth Corridor, and is surrounded by existing industrial uses, or areas
recommended for office/industrial land uses in the adopted area plan; and
§ The rezoning site sits at a major interchange (Interstate 85), making its location appropriate for a
retail use as recommended by the area plan.

13. Rezoning Petition: 2016-050 by Marnicaly at UNCC, LLC
Location: Approximately 2.59 acres located on the west side of Old Concord Road between Suther Road
and John Kirk Drive in the University City area. (Council District 4 - Phipps)
Current Zoning: INST (institutional)
Proposed Zoning: UR-2(CD) (urban residential, conditional)
Zoning Committee Recommendation:
The Zoning Committee voted 6-0 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 Northeast District Plan, based on
information from the staff analysis and the public hearing, and because:
§ The plan recommends multi-family residential uses for this site; and
§ The petition meets the General Development Policies locational criteria for consideration of up to
11 dwellings 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 subject property is surrounded by multi-family housing on the west side of Old Concord Road;
and
§ The site is within close proximity to UNC Charlotte’s main campus and the Carolina’s Medical
Center University Hospital and could offer a conveniently located housing choice for students and
employees; and
§ The design of the site respects the character of Old Concord Road, by providing generous setbacks;
and
§ The proposal also includes a 12-foot wide multi-use path along the Old Concord Road frontage
intended for use by bicyclists and pedestrians; and
§ The site plan proposes a new street off of Old Concord Road, setting up a future street network for
an area, between Old Concord Road and University City Boulevard, that is generally lacking in
connectivity.

System, Inc.
Location: Approximately 16.5 acres located on the west side of Toddville Road, north of Freedom Drive.
(Council District 3 - Mayfield)
Current Zoning: R-17MF (LLWPA) (multi-family residential, Lower Lake Wylie protected area)
Proposed Zoning: I-2(CD) (LLWPA) (general industrial, conditional, Lower Lake Wylie Protected Area),
with five-year vested rights.
Zoning Committee Recommendation:
The Zoning Committee voted 4-2 to recommend APPROVAL of this petition as modified.
Staff Recommendation:
Staff agrees with the recommendation of the majority Zoning Committee.
Statement of Consistency:
§ The Zoning Committee found this petition to be inconsistent with the Northwest District Plan
recommendation for single family residential uses up to four units per acre, based on information from
the staff analysis and the public hearing, and because:
§ The plan recommends single family residential uses at up to four units per acre for this site.
§ 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:
§ The proposed rezoning will allow a primarily vacant site to be used for employee and tractor trailer
truck parking for the nearby FedEx facility; and
§ The subject property is located adjacent to industrial uses and the Mount Holly Road /Highway 16
Industrial Activity Center on the north and east, and residential development on the south and
west; and
§ The site layout has been designed to minimize impacts on abutting residential development by
locating the parking on the portion of the site furthest away from the nearby residential properties,
and by providing significant natural buffers and screening between the parking and residential
uses; and
§ The proposal will support the expansion of the existing FedEx facility, which is growing in part due
to the improved access to I-85 via the recently widened Freedom Drive; and
§ The character of the area has changed since the plan was adopted in 1990, and the use is
consistent and compatible with the existing development pattern which has a greater emphasis on
industrial/warehouse uses in the area.

Location: Approximately 1.25 acres located on the north side of West Boulevard between Billy Graham
Parkway and Leake Street. (Council District 3 - Mayfield)
Current Zoning: MUDD-O (mixed use development, optional)
Proposed Zoning: MUDD-O SPA (mixed use development, optional, site plan amendment)
Zoning Committee Recommendation:
The Zoning Committee voted 6-0 to recommend APPROVAL of this petition as modified.
Staff Recommendation:
Staff agrees with the recommendation of the Zoning Committee.
Consistency Statement:
§ The Zoning Committee found this petition to be consistent with the Central District Plan, based on
information from the staff analysis and the public hearing, and because:
§ The plan recommends a mix of multi-family residential, institutional, and office uses as amended
by the previous rezoning for this 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 proposal is a minor site plan amendment to allow the proposed child development center in
the Renaissance West development to increase from 17,500 square feet to 25,000 square feet; and
§ The proposed square footage is compatible with surrounding institutional and residential land uses;
and
§ The larger child development center is consistent with the initial multi-use concept for the
Renaissance West development and does not change the character of the project.

16. Rezoning Petition: 2016-062 by Benson Ejindu
Location: Approximately 1.23 acres located on the north side of The Plaza near the intersection of East
WT Harris Boulevard and The Plaza. (Council District 4 - Phipps)
Current Zoning: R-3 (single-family residential)
Proposed Zoning: O-1 (CD) (office, conditional)
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.
Consistency Statement:
§ The Zoning Committee found this petition to be inconsistent with the Northeast District Plan, based on
information from the staff analysis and the public hearing, and because:
§ The plan recommends multi-family residential for this site.
§ 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:
§ The plan identifies the intersection of The Plaza and East WT Harris Boulevard as a neighborhood
center, which is a location for neighborhood-serving commercial uses; and
§ The size of the neighborhood center was effectively expanded from the original area plan
recommendation through rezoning 2001-029 which approved the self-storage facility abutting this
property along its west and north property lines; and
§ The site is directly across The Plaza from a shopping center zoned B-1(CD) (neighborhood
business, conditional); and
§ The proposed use would allow additional nonresidential uses complementary to the expanded
neighborhood center; and
§ The proposed office use will provide a buffer between the self-storage facility, which is located at
the intersection of WT Harris and the Plaza, and potential future multi-family development located
east of the site; and
§ The site design for the proposed office respects the ”Avenue” street classification and brings the
building toward the street and places parking to the side and rear to facilitate pedestrian
connectivity along the corridor.

§ The petition proposes to allow for the adaptive reuse of existing buildings located on the subject
property; and

neighborhood; and
§ The proposed streetscape enhancements are consistent with the corridor construction plans for the
Blue Line Extension project and the NCDOT Sugar Creek Grade Separation project which includes
the streetscape project along North Davidson Street; and

Current Zoning: O-2 (office)
Proposed Zoning: TOD-MO (transit oriented development-mixed use, optional)
Zoning Committee Recommendation:
The Zoning Committee voted 5-0 to recommend APPROVAL of this petition as modified.
Staff Recommendation:
Staff agrees with the recommendation of the Zoning Committee.
Consistency Statement:
§ The Zoning Committee found this petition to be consistent with the South End Transit Station Area
Plan, based on information from the staff analysis and the public hearing, and because:
§ The plans recommend mixed-use transit supportive development for the area in which it is located.
§ 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 located across South Caldwell Street from Pritchard Memorial Baptist Church
and the Dowd YMCA; and
§ The proposed deck will serve both of these institutional uses; and
§ The subject site is also located within a ¼ mile walk of the Carson Boulevard Transit Station on the
LYNX Blue Line; and
§ The proposal allows a site being used for surface parking to convert to structured parking.
Structured parking is a more appropriate form of parking in a transit station area; and
§ The proposed parking structure will also include ground floor active uses along South Caldwell
Street and Lexington Avenue. These uses will support the transition of the area into a more
walkable urban environment.

Location: Approximately 0.83 acres located on the southeast corner at the intersection of Belmont

Current Zoning: I-2 (general industrial)
Proposed Zoning: TOD-M (transit oriented development-mixed use)
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.
Consistency Statement:
§ The Zoning Committee found this petition to be consistent with the Blue Line Transit Station Area Plan,
based on information from the staff analysis and the public hearing, and because:
§ The Blue Line Extension Transit Station Area Plans recommends transit supportive 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 subject site is within a ½ mile walk of the Parkwood Transit Station on the Blue Line
Extension; and
§ The proposed rezoning allows a vacant site zoned for industrial use to be developed with transit
supportive uses; 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 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.

Location: Approximately 3.28 acres located on the north side of West Tyvola Road and east of City Park
Drive. (Council District 3 - Mayfield)
Current Zoning: MUDD-O (mixed use development, optional)
Proposed Zoning: MUDD-O SPA (mixed use development, optional, site plan amendment), with five-year
vested rights
Zoning Committee Recommendation:
The Zoning Committee voted 6-0 to recommend APPROVAL of this petition as modified.
Staff Recommendation:
Staff agrees with the recommendation of the Zoning Committee.
Consistency Statement:
§ The Zoning Committee found this petition to be consistent with the Southwest District Plan
recommendation for a mix of residential/office/retail uses for the overall City Park Development as
amended by rezoning petition 2007-082 and inconsistent with the specific limitation on uses with
associated drive-through service windows, and design standards for drive-through service window and
vehicular maneuvering locations established under the previous rezoning, based on information from
the staff analysis and the public hearing, and because:
§ The proposal allows commercial uses on the site; and
§ The proposal allows drive-through service windows associated with one
eating/drinking/entertainment establishment and one neighborhood food and beverage service use
as specified in the optional provisions; and
§ The location of one proposed drive-through service window and lanes will be between the building
and public street.
§ 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:
§ The subject property is located on West Tyvola Road, a major thoroughfare, and City Park Drive, at
the entrance to the City Park development; and
§ The current zoning for the site allows commercial uses with drive-through accessory windows, but
limits the specific types of uses with drive-through windows, and does not allow vehicular
maneuvering between the uses and the streets; and
§ The proposed site plan amendment does not increase the number of uses with drive-through
windows but simply expands the type of uses allowed to have drive-through windows to include
two eating/drinking/entertainment establishments, one of which will have limited food preparation;
and
§ The proposed site plan amendment also allows maneuvering for the drive-through service lane on
the parcel located on West Tyvola Road and Potomac River Parkway, consistent with the highway
oriented environment on West Tyvola Road; and
§ The pedestrian oriented design, with buildings along the street and parking to the side or rear, is
maintained on City Park Drive and National Avenue, the priority pedestrian-oriented streets; and
§ The site plan also includes a rain garden, outdoor seating and multi-purpose path, located on City
Park Drive and National Avenue within Parcel 4, that further support the pedestrian environment.

§ The subject property is located within ¼ mile of Presbyterian Hospital and Mercy Hospital; and
§ Conventional zoning is appropriate as the eastern portion of the parcel is zoned O-2 (office).
Rezoning the subject property will create consistent zoning across the entire parcel; and
§ The proposed request is consistent with the office zoning of the surrounding properties; and
§ The proposed increase in development intensity is appropriate for this urban site located within ¼
