Ken Bowers, Planning & Development
During the April 16 City Council meeting it was requested that an item on the topic of revenue capture be referred to the Safe, Vibrant and Healthy Community Committee for discussion and to receive information only.
The phrase revenue (or value) capture refers to various revenue raising instruments that local governments can employ to realize as public revenue a portion of the increase in land values arising from public infrastructure investments or land use policy changes. A staff presentation will focus on the primary value capture tools available in North Carolina, which include various types of special taxing districts as well as bonus-based zoning incentives.
The presentation will also touch on tax increment finance, development agreements, and conditional zoning.

Item 22-04: Downtown Raleigh Economic Development Strategy (2/13/24)

Type

Evan Raleigh, City Manager’s Office
In July of 2021, City Council approved the allocation of $250,000 in American Rescue Plan Act funds to support a downtown economic development study in partnership with the Downtown Raleigh Alliance (DRA). After a competitive solicitation process, Interface Studios, a planning and urban design practice known for blending research and analytical thinking with design and public visioning, was selected to lead the project. The scope of the study focuses on various aspects of the downtown economy and concentrates specifically on the following areas

Revitalization of Fayetteville Street and bolstering the downtown storefront economy
Repositioning the downtown office market
Improving minority and women-owned business opportunities
Identifying catalytic projects that could spur energy in the downtown area

During the February Council Work Session, Interface Studios presented an overview of the recommendations pertaining specifically to the Fayetteville Street portion of the Study. The item was referred to the Economic Development and Innovation Committee for further discussion where the first phase of the Study’s recommendations were subsequently reviewed and prioritized for future implementation.
During the meeting, representatives from Interface Studios will provide an overview of the final three phases of the report for the Committee’s review and consideration.

MEETING CALLED TO THE ORDER BY THE CHAIR

Subject
Item 22-09: Brookside Drive Safety Initiatives (6/18/24)

Type

Bradley Kimbrell, Transportation
In March 2023, Transportation staff received an inquiry from concerned residents to evaluate the existing travel lane and parking configuration along Brookside Drive, between Frank Street and Glasscock Street. The concerns regarded how existing conditions allowed aggressive drivers to pass slower motorists in the existing elongated dedicated right-turn lane into Conn Elementary School. Prior to installation of the existing dedicated right-turn lane, unregulated on-street parking was existing in this curb-space along Brookside Drive.
As Council may recall, recent public comments during the May 14 and May 21 public comment periods were presented regarding concerns and planned improvements along Brookside Drive between Frank Street and Glascock Street. Council has also received numerous email messages from residents in the vicinity related to these same concerns.
Between March and September 2023, staff heard from and worked with residents and the Bicycle and Pedestrian Advisory Commission (BPAC) to evaluate different strategies to address the safety concerns along Brookside Drive. Staff received several inquiries regarding the possibility of utilizing the existing right-turn lane to create bike infrastructure instead of on-street parking. Staff advised that bike lanes had been considered during staff’s review of the corridor, but while Brookside Drive is slated for bike infrastructure in the long-term bike plan, it is not identified in the adopted 10-year bike plan priority list of projects. Implementation of bike lanes typically occurs during a resurfacing project or as part of a funded standalone project. Currently, Brookside Drive is not scheduled to be resurfaced in the next five years, nor has the City allocated funds to move a bike project forward on this street.
In September 2023, affected property owners were notified of this proposed change to add back unregulated on-street parking along Brookside Drive and provided two weeks to respond with any questions or concerns. The majority of responses received were residents requesting consideration to add bike lanes to this section of Brookside Drive instead of on-street parking. Staff spent the next several months working with the concerned residents to ensure all parties were aware of the changes, staff’s intent to address safety concerns, as well as reasons bike lanes were not being pursued along the corridor at this time.
In April 2024, staff again notified all affected property owners of this proposed change and provided two weeks to respond with any concerns, and no responses were received. The recommended changes would convert the existing dedicated right-turn only lane leading into Conn Elementary into fifty-three (53) new unregulated parking spaces on Brookside Drive.
During the June 18, 2024 Council meeting, staff presented a detailed history relating to Brookside Drive assessments and engagement with request for Council to provide direction on the implementation of proposed curb space changes on Brookside Drive. Staff will give a detailed presentation regarding options for consideration.
