More housing development coming to Charlotte's Mallard Creek area: Tuesday, May 16
The Mallard Creek area is seeing massive growth and interest from developers to build housing. On Monday, the Charlotte City Council discussed, among other things, two rezoning petitions that call for hundreds of townhomes in the Mallard Creek area. One of these petitions would rezone a piece of land near the intersection of Mallard Creek and Galloway roads to be switched from single-family homes to urban residential. Specifically, the petition calls for 186 townhomes to be built at the site. Appaloosa Real Estate is the project's petitioner. City staff members do not recommend approval of the petition and many neighbors signed up to speak against it. Homeowners that live next to where the proposed project would go told WCNC Charlotte the townhomes do not fit in the neighborhood of single-family homes and would worsen traffic.
