We, the undersigned surrounding neighbors, are in OPPOSITION to Rezoning Petition 2020-066 for the 3.62 acres located along the north side of Sardis Road North, east of Sunnywood Lane, and south of Watergate Road. This rezoning application requests changing current R-3 (R-3 = Single family—3.0 units per acre) to to UR-1 (CD) (UR-1(CD) = Urban residential—max. floor area ratio 0.25 (conditional zoning).
The plan is inconsistent with South District Plan for long-range planning, which recommends single family residential land use, at a density of three units per acre. The plan is also inconsistent with surrounding neighborhoods.

Not only is the design inconsistent with the surrounding neighborhoods, there is no accounting for enough off street parking for visitors. Also, what is the plan to treat runoff water before it is returned to the McAlpine Creek water system?
Building here will cut off driver sight lines. I believe it is dangerous and irresponsible. Inconsistent to surrounding neighborhood. Doesn’t meet requirements for Charlotte’s Southern District Plan for residential development. Not accessible to emergency vehicles.
We need less units to ensure it maintains the look of it’s surrounding homes. Units should be all brick, include sound / privacy barriers, and maintaining our large spaces. Halks and large owls live in this space.
That is not the right area or neighborhood for high density housing. The zoning should be changed to R-4 at the highest. Look at the house across Sunnywood and the houses across the Sardis Rd. N. and you'll find larger lots and individual homes.
We do not oppose development and building of new housing units but the density of this proposal does not fit with this property. Also, because of the density there is not adequate parking or roads/driveways.
This is a Suburb (neighborhood), NOT suitable for Urban Residential...
This property is too small to accommodate this many units.

This lot is not big enough to accommodate 18 homes and, because they’re cramming them on such a small lot, there is not enough parking and road access for the development which will have a significantly negative effect on the traffic and access for the existing neighborhood.
