Good Morning Carolina - Next Monday We Need Your Attendance & Support !!!!
March 18th at 5:00 PM
Rea Road Gillespie Property City Council Rezoning RZP 2022-121 Public Hearing
Charlotte-Mecklenburg Government Center
600 East 4th Street Charlotte, NC 28202
During this meeting City Staff will provide a brief summary of the Rea Road Gillespie Property rezoning request. The developer RK Investments Charlotte LLC will then have 10 minutes to present their plan for the development of the property (massive big box apartment complex) to Charlotte City Council and the Zoning Committee. After which we have only 10 minutes to speak in opposition.
In honor of St. Patrick's Day and Charlotte's Trees we will be wearing GREEN.
This is our only chance to formally voice our concerns to Charlotte City Council.
Because our time is limited, what Charlotte City Council sees may be more important than what they hear, therefore it is imperative that we fill the Charlotte City Council chambers with people wearing who care about our city and oppose this rezoning request.
We ask that you arrive early. Parking is provided at 232 S Davidson St Charlotte, NC 28202 directly across from the Government Center.
We realize this is a big request the day after St. Patrick's Day and just as our Carolina Spring gets under way but three hours of your time is far better than a lifetime of regret if we don’t show Charlotte City Council our resolve and unwavering opposition to this project.
- As of this morning we are 20,000+ signatures strong and now we need to show the Charlotte City Council that there are real people behind our petition.
- Please mark you calendar for this event. This is your chance to be heard and seen.
- Again, a big turn out for the event is critical !!!
Thank you for your continued support.
We are looking forward to seeing a sea of GREEN on March 18th!

So we/you are supporting clearing the whole site except for those trees by the floodplain? We are for losing the pond? We are for the mass grading of the site for tiny little rental house/triplex lots that will fill every inch of the site? We are advocating for no traffic improvements for 400+ units by right? We are against the greenway trail and bridges that are proposed?
Wouldn't preserving more than 30% of the site as tree save, preserving the pond, adding the trails and bridge, and getting huge buffers from the adjacent roads be better? You will not even see most of the proposed development, as it is hidden behind 60-80 foot tall mature trees if the rezoning plan is approved.
I'd think hard about this.
All great point and worth consideration.
The best traffic improvements would be 240 less apartments.
A Greenway trail to what an apartment complex? I can get that at SouthEnd and hit 3 bars on my way home. That's a hard pass.
"You will not even see MOST of the proposed development. Guess what I don't see any of it now.
Two years and absolutely nothing of substance has been offered.
Guess what times up!
I think the biggest reason to shit cat this stupid is the city council already gave the property owner a 300% density increase.
Is the after party still at Connolly's on Fifth?
