Mixed-use, residential projects get City Council OK at zoning meeting

CHARLOTTE, N.C. — A number of rezoning petitions got Charlotte City Council’s approval at the monthly zoning meeting on Monday night.

But one slated to be voted on, a highly contentious project pegged for the heart of NoDa, was deferred to next month’s council meeting for a vote. That project, proposed by Revolve Residential, drew the ire of some NoDa residents who said at last month’s council meeting that any type of commercial uses planned and the subsequent traffic were of concern.

Projects that were approved include Northlake System LLC’s petition to build up to 40,000 square feet of retail, restaurant and office uses, as well as a 180-room, eight-story hotel, at the northwest intersection of Point O’Woods Drive and Northlake Centre Parkway. The proposed project would be developed on a 7.1-acre site across from Northlake Mall and next to Madison Square at Northlake apartments.

Also approved were townhouse projects within City Park, a master-planned development at the former Charlotte Coliseum site; near the intersection of Park and Sharon Roads; and off Independence Boulevard.
