Raleigh Public Record (https://theraleighcommons.org/raleighpublicrecord/tag/udo/)
The Comprehensive Planning Committee last week voted to recommend several changes to the city’s Unified Development Ordinance and Comprehensive Plan, which included adding official definitions for words like “supermarket.”
Members of the city’s Comprehensive Planning Committee Tuesday reviewed a number of items dealing with inconsistencies between the Comprehensive Plan and the kinds of development the city has allowed to move forward.
The UDO remapping process has spawned questions about how the document works alongside the 2030 Comprehensive Plan.
In this week’s development beat, we look at the ongoing efforts of the city to inform residents about the remapping process, the replacement of the former upscale-bowling spot Sparians and what happened to the Pizza Hut on Western Boulevard.
A local resident and an employee with the city’s Community Development Department last week presented information on the effects of the city’s remapping process, a new social network for neighbors and the redevelopment of the Stone Warehouse property.
This week in the Development Beat we explore the history of development in Raleigh by the numbers. City Councilors took on five rezoning requests this week and heard a number of complaints about the new zoning code.
Frontages, a feature of the city’s new zoning code, are a sticking point with one Tryon Road rezoning request.
Four projects delayed by Planning Commission, new developments along Capital Boulevard, and some say the Unified Development Ordinance isn’t being implemented the way the city promised.
Competing claims about the city’s sign ordinance—some say Raleigh needs new rules for signs in windows, others say the current policy is too strict—have sparked a debate in city hall. Raleigh City Council members are creating a new task force to come up with new rules for window signs.
Planning Commission members this week approved a controversial seven-story apartment building for Hillsborough Street and a new middle school for North Raleigh. Rex hospital and Wake Tech’s north campus are expanding, and a Taco Bell is getting some repairs.
