OFFICIAL COMMUNITY MEETING REPORT
Petitioner: MATTAMY HOMES
Rezoning Petition No. 2021-040
This Community Meeting Report is being filed with the Office of the City Clerk and the Charlotte-
Mecklenburg Planning, Design and Development Staff pursuant to the provisions of the City of Charlotte
Zoning Ordinance.
PERSONS AND ORGANIZATIONS CONTACTED WITH DATE AND EXPLANATION OF
HOW CONTACTED:
A representative of the Petitioner mailed written notice of the date, time and virtual format for the
Community Meeting to the individuals and organizations set out on Exhibit A attached hereto by depositing
such notice in the U.S. mail on April 21, 2021. A copy of the written notice is attached hereto as Exhibit
B.
DATE, TIME AND FORMAT OF MEETING:
The Virtual Community Meeting was held on Thursday, May 6, 2021 at 5:30 p.m. via the Zoom platform.
Recipients of the notice letter were directed to RSVP for a link to the virtual meeting via email or phone to
a member of the Petitioner’s team. Members of the community who were unable to access the virtual
meeting were directed to email or call a member of the Petitioner’s team and could be provided with a copy
(including a mailed paper copy, if necessary) of the meeting presentation. No hard copies of the
presentation or alternative arrangements were requested by community members.
MEETING PARTICIPATION:
The Virtual Community Meeting had twelve (12) attendees, including six (6) members of the community
and the Petitioner’s team as listed in Exhibit C. The Petitioner was represented at the Community Meeting
by Jerry Whelan, as well as by Petitioner’s agents, Matt Mandle, Matt Reiking, and Skylar White with ESP
Associates, and Collin Brown and Brittany Lins with Alexander Ricks PLLC.
SUMMARY OF PRESENTATION/DISCUSSION:
Mr. Collin Brown welcomed the attendee and introduced the Petitioner’s team, using a PowerPoint
presentation, attached hereto as Exhibit D. Mr. Brown showed aerials and street views of the approximately
41.5-acre property with a small amount of frontage on Rocky River Road with mostly vacant land.
Mr. Brown gave a general overview of the rezoning process and development considerations that a
developer must take into account, including property owner requirements, environmental constraints, and
access and transportation requirements. Mr. Brown explained that the property is currently zoned to the R-
3 zoning district, which typically allows approximately three (3) dwelling units per acre (DUA) but certain
by-right development options under the zoning ordinance provide density bonus incentives for inclusion of
increased tree save area and inclusionary mixed-income housing. The Northwest District Plan (approved
by City Council in 1990) recommended residential uses up to four (4) DUA for the site. Mr. Brown
recognized that the 2040 Comprehensive Plan, currently in draft form pending City Council approval,
recommends increased density for housing across much of Charlotte.
Mr. Brown displayed the proposed rezoning plan, which requests 200 townhome residential units under the
R-8MF(CD) zoning district, at a density of approximately 4.86 DUA. The conceptual plan shows that the
majority of the proposed townhomes cannot be seen from Rocky River Road since the current property
01712-002/00299952-1
owner is retaining most of that property, including the existing single-family home on the site. The rezoning plan proposes a new public street that lines up with Mortonhall Road and would eventually create a road network through to Back Creek Church Road, based on the Charlotte Department of Transportation plans. This is expected to relieve some traffic at the intersections along Rocky River Road and Back Creek Church Road once completed. Mattamy would fund and complete construction the portion of the road network on the rezoning site before any townhome units could be occupied. Several example renderings and floorplans were also displayed. The Petitioner’s team stated that the projected pricepoint is in the mid- to high-$200K range, with an average square footage of 1,700 to 2,000 square feet and inclusion of a one or two-car garage on each unit. Mr. Jerry Whelan, Vice President for Land Acquisitions at Mattamy Homes, gave a brief summary of the Petitioner and examples of other projects in the Charlotte area. He stated that Mattamy Homes would be both the developer and builder for the site and is a 40-year-old company that currently is ranked as the largest privately held homebuilding company in North America and 7th largest homebuilder in Charlotte. Mr. Brown stated that the rezoning timeline could result in a public hearing in June and a City Council decision in July, at the earliest. The virtual meeting was then opened for discussion via either chat or the “raise hand” function on Zoom to allow participants to ask individual questions or provide comments: An attendee asked how the proposal would impact the current single-family homes in the area. The Petitioner’s team responded that Mattamy’s townhome product often compares favorably on a price-per- square-foot comparison with existing single-family homes since the townhome footprints are generally smaller but the new construction is of a high quality. An attendee asked how the Petitioner plans to control noise, commenting that the Buckley development nearby does not successfully control noise levels. The Petitioner’s team stated that the proposed development is separated with buffers and a significant amount of distance from most existing residences. In addition, a Homeowners Association will be put in place for the community which will create rules to manage and enforce noise issues if they arise. In response to an attendee’s question, the Petitioner’s team confirmed that an annexation into the City of Charlotte would be pursued so that the property would no longer be in unincorporated Mecklenburg County. An attendee asked whether surrounding vacant land may be considered for commercial uses in the future. The Petitioner’s team responded that they do not control those properties along Rocky River Road but it appears the current NZ zoning would support commercial uses. In addition, the 2040 Comprehensive Plan once approved, may support commercial uses for that area in the future but it is unknown at this time. The meeting concluded with no additional questions or discussion from community members. Respectfully submitted this 17th day of May 2021. cc: Michael Russell, Charlotte-Mecklenburg Planning Department 01712-002/00299952-1
