The Raleigh City Council recently voted to take the property at 301 Hillsborough Street away from the developer that had been planning to build at the site since 2000. The Reynolds Company missed a December 31 deadline to get financing.
Council got an interim report on tiered water rates, and the animal tethering ordinance has a public hearing set for March 3.
The Raleigh City Council will consider a new animal tethering ordinance, banning front-yard parking and new bus stops for the downtown circulator.
Raleigh City Council voted 4-4 yesterday and denied a citizen petition to extend the comprehensive plan public comment period. Jason Hibbets presented a petition on behalf of several community groups to extend the time by 30 days.

The Raleigh city council will consider a new animal tethering ordinance at its next meeting. Councilor Nancy McFarlane had asked the city manager for a report on where the city stands with animal tethering. The city has no ordinance on the books dealing with tying pets up, but rather relies on state animal cruelty laws.
NOTE: THE MEETING HAS BEEN POSTPONED UNTIL THURSDAY. Preview for the Raleigh City Council’s January 20 meeting. A petition to add another 30 days for people to review the comprehensive plan; City manager will give a report on animal tethering laws; And the water infrastructure debate continues.
Three councilors voted to delay approving two infrastructure projects at today’s Raleigh City Council meeting. Russ Stephenson (At-large), who led the effort to delay the projects, argued that the growth and city income are slowing and the water infrastructure projects should wait to save money in the current recession.
