A rezoning petition has been submitted for 12918 Eastfield Road, at the intersection of Eastfield Road and Prosperity Church Road, to allow a Sheetz convenience store with gas pumps, a fuel canopy, parking, and associated utilities.

Proposal at a Glance

Site: 12918 Eastfield Road Huntersville, NC 28078 (on the border with Charlotte proper)
Size: 2.90 acres
Current use: Commercial & vacant
Current zoning: NS — Neighborhood Services
Requested zoning: NC(CD) — Neighborhood Center, Conditional
Applicant: Golden Ventures IX, LLC
Proposed use: Convenience store with gas pumps, canopy, parking, and utilities
Status: In Progress
Traffic: City review indicates a Traffic Impact Study (TIS) is needed (currently in progress)

What Does the Rezoning Change?

The property is already zoned NS (Neighborhood Services), which allows a variety of neighborhood-serving commercial uses, including retail, restaurants, professional services, medical services, and other businesses.

The requested rezoning would change the property's zoning designation to NC(CD) to accommodate the proposed development.

The City's 2040 Policy Map identifies the property as a Neighborhood Center, and the application indicates that the proposal is aligned with that designation.

Current Site Conditions

The property is currently a vacant, cleared lot. Although the City's review references existing "tree save" on the parcel, there are currently no trees on the lot. The application will require a tree survey as part of the conditional rezoning process.

The City's review also identifies existing stormwater/detention requirements that must be addressed as the project moves forward.

Where Things Stand

The rezoning application remains In Progress, and City staff have identified items that still need to be addressed, including the required Traffic Impact Study.

The proposal has not yet been approved.
