Raleigh residents spoke out Tuesday at the last official public hearing for the UDO before the approval process. In other City council business, transportation staff will examine traffic calming measures for Ramblewood Drive and city staffers are researching Low Impact Development to improve streams and waterways.
The city’s new zoning code, known as the Unified Development Ordinance, will go to a public hearing Feb. 21. The Planning Commission and City Council will no longer review and approve site plans under the new code.
In 2010 and 2011, 38 percent of rezoning cases were inconsistent with the 2030 Comprehensive Plan.
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.
