Monroe Village Annexation and PUD
Summary
Seven parcels along Weddington Road and MLK Jr. Blvd. would be consolidated under a new "Monroe Village" PUD zoning, replacing a mix of mixed-use, existing PUD, and residential districts. This is a large-scale development framework that could shape growth in that corridor for years.
