Let’s Discuss Rezoning for the New Bern Avenue Transit Overlay District Bus Rapid Transit (BRT) stations are planned along New Bern Avenue. Zoning changes are proposed to add the Transit Overlay District (TOD) to the zoning map along the future New Bern Avenue Bus Rapid Transit route. The TOD requires walkable development in core areas around transit routes and incentivizes the inclusion of affordable housing units in new buildings. 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.

All events are open to the public, though some may require advance registration.

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.

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 […]
