During the meeting you can expect to learn about: What will happen during the rezoning process. Which properties are included in the proposed rezoning. What would actually happen to the properties once rezoned.

Hi Hillsborough-Wade CAC friends, Please put our monthly Hillsborough-Wade CAC meeting on your calendar for Tuesday, February 28th at 7:00 PM. The Zoom link invitation is at the bottom of this email. Also, please forward this email to your neighborhood listserv (if your neighborhood has one). Our main presentation and discussion will be about “Missing Middle” housing in Raleigh and the corresponding text changes (TC-5-20 and TC-20-21) in Raleigh’s Unified Development Ordinance (UDO). Patrick Young and other Planning Department staff will do a 30 minute presentation with visuals, and then we’ll have a Q&A session. This will be your opportunity to better understand these text changes, ask questions, and give feedback to Raleigh’s Planning & Development Department. NOTE: As you know, we were going to have this missing middle in housing presentation at our January meeting, but a special session of the City Council was called for that evening and Patrick Young had to attend that meeting instead of our CAC meeting. He will join us at our February meeting. Between now and February 28th, if you would like to do some homework and become more familiar with this subject, go to: FAQ: Raleigh's Missing Middle and What is the […]
