Raleigh City Council will get a preview of the new government complex at tomorrow’s meeting

On tap for the December 2nd meeting:

The Hillsborough and Morgan streets roundabout design is back in front of council for final approval. The design consultant is more than halfway done and city staff recommends council approve the plan so far and put the project out for bidding. A city consultant will present the initial design for the new city government complex and public safety center. Budget and Economic Development Committee:
The downtown parking report went to the BED after council’s last meeting and the committee is now recommending that the city take over the parking program and enforcement. Planning:
The Planning Commission recommends the council reject the text change to prevent new pawn shops from opening in Buffer Commercial, Shopping Center and Neighborhood Business districts.

November 18 City Council preview

A joint hearing with council and the planning commission tops tomorrow’s city council agenda. TC-19-08 would require single-family homes or infill lots being converted into multi-family use, such as houses being converted into apartments, to go before the planning commission and approved by council. On the continuing Hillsborough Street roundabout saga, city staff will recommend council initiate condemnation proceedings on four properties. The agenda says, “Negotiations, thus far, have been unsuccessful.”

The properties are:

HBS Properties, LLC
2020 Hillsborough St. SKS Properties, LLC
2400, 2414, 2420 and 2430 Hillsborough St.
