We are posting this video from Raleigh Neighbors United (RNU). Z-12-25 is the proposed 360 foot tower on West Street. 

Public Hearing for Z-12-25, The West St Tower

October 7th @ 7pm

City Council Chambers

Roy Attride (Raleigh Neighbors United)

The public hearing for this case will be held Tuesday, October 7 at 7pm. This public hearing will allow ONLY 8 minutes in TOTAL for those in opposition to present their case to City Council.

Below is a video outlining the full fact and policy based opposition to Z-12-25.

The 240’/360′ towers, in a transition area, 776′ along Historic Glenwood-Brooklyn Neighborhood only 190′ to 240′ feet from homes violates all plans, polices, urban planning guidelines and logic. This does not make sense.

The neighbors support the current zoning which allows for 12 stories.

12 stories IS DENSITY

12 stories provides needed housing
