Why We Oppose
We’re not opposed to development or gas stations in general. We’re opposed to adding another gas station to a location that already has several nearby. This isn't the only option. The property is already zoned NS (Neighborhood Services), allowing a range of neighborhood-serving businesses and services. We want thoughtful growth. Charlotte is growing rapidly, but growth doesn't mean every commercially viable use is appropriate for every location.
Our concerns are straightforward:
- There are already 13 gas stations serving this area (the closest one is only 1,480 feet away!)
- Traffic is already a concern.
- The site borders established neighborhoods in very close proximity (<300')
- Site would share a parking lot with a daycare center (unprecidented anywhere in Mecklenburg county!)
- Does not align with the City's 2040 plan or the Prosperity Village CNIP
- Sheetz is a good company as a whole but they have not listened to our neighborly concerns
We believe this corner can be developed without becoming another gas station — and we want the community to have a meaningful voice in what comes next.
