Charlotte Zoning Meeting · City Council Zoning Meeting on 2026-04-20 5:00 PM - Apr 20, 2026 · 20 Apr 2026 meeting

Stoops along the back of the townhomes, those stoops would also help to make up the remaining grade on site.

So there's an opportunity for stoops to be raised up fairly high, four feet approximately, and those townhomes would front the green space, the existing stream on site as well.

Also with this cross-section elevation illustrative, we wanted to show the proximity of the proposed townhomes to the existing single-family homes that are within the community to the south.

Those distances range from approximately 230 to 260 linear feet, and they are separated by a stream buffer that will remain.

With that, I know I have plenty of time left, approximately five minutes left, but I'll go ahead and wrap up the presentation here.

I'll let the community speak and have their presentation, then we can go into some questions.

You're not actually required to use all your time, so we appreciate that.

You're welcome.

I have three speakers signed up in opposition.

They are Mark McManus, Andrew Tryfan, and Justin Jones.

So you have a total of 10 minutes.

I've lived my whole life here, really love the city, and love to see the growth that's happening here.

I've got geyser glasses on because of my age, so I'm going to do the same thing and read this.

Our neighbor Kelly Strickland, who's up here with us today, has pointed out, in light of the new UDO's adherence to the intent reflected by the setback shown on the original subdivision plat maps, which I have and can leave for you all to review,

is the original intent of the subdivision itself.

The original subdivision map does not depict the subject property or the proposed developments as original lots, and it certainly does not reflect an intent for multifamily development along Windover Road.

And then another neighbor who couldn't make it, Phillip and Molly James, they asked a pretty succinct question.

Why approve a rezoning petition when the developer has not demonstrated an ability to honor standards?

So yes, with Charlotte's growth, we need more housing and single family homes are still the best use for this land and is consistent with Charlotte's 2040 plan.

Let's tap the brakes on some of this questionable precedent setting rezoning requests.
