Agenda • Police report. • Update from Hillsborough-Street Community Service Corporation. • Presentation about AI: understanding the basics and “how-tos” plus an overview on AI developments and how they impact us. • Update on rezoning cases in our CAC. The applicant for rezoning case Z-54-22, which was voted down by City Council two years ago, is restarting the process to bring this case back before City Council.

Now the applicant is coming forward with some money for the future Smokey Hollow city park and some money for the City’s affordable housing fund. These incentives don’t change the request for 30 stories where 12 stories is already approved for this Downtown Transition area. If approved […]

Archaeology at Mordecai Historic Park

Mordecai Historic Park 1 Mimosa St, Raleigh, NC

Professor John Millhauser, the Director of Anthropology for NCSU, will work backwards in time, starting with how people living in the neighborhood use the park today and moving back through the creation of the park in the 1970s, the establishment of the Mordecai neighborhood, the property during the Civil War, and the founding of Raleigh in the late 18th century. The lecture will close with the lives of Indigenous people who lived here for thousands of years before Europeans arrived. We hope you enjoy this closing lecture of the ‘Digging Deeper’ lectures series. Learn about the recent excavations at Mordecai Historic Park and what a sample of the objects found reveal about the many people whose lives have intersected here. We will work backwards in time, starting with how people living in the neighborhood use the park today and moving back through the creation of the park in the 1970s, the people who helped build the Mordecai neighborhood in the first half of the twentieth century; the people who lived on the property before, during, and after the civil war; and the people who founded Raleigh in the late eighteenth century. We will close with the lives of Indigenous people […]

Neighborhood Rezoning Meeting: West Peace Street Assemblage — Rescheduled to 4/23 at McKimmon Center

Pullen Park Community Center 408 Ashe Ave, Raleigh, NC

RALEIGH NEIGHBORS UNITED received the following from MorningStar Law Group: "...given the significant attendance that we now are expecting for our neighborhood meeting next week, we are rescheduling the meeting planned for April 2nd to a much larger venue.  Simply put, the room available at the Pullen Community Center is insufficient for the size of the group that we are expecting based upon what we have seen on social media.  We do not believe it would be fair to folks interested in the case to continue with the meeting under the circumstances. We apologize for any inconvenience and would ask that you please let as many of your folks know about this as you can.  We will be mailing out postcards letting the community know of the cancellation and also will be sending a mailed meeting notice once we have a new time/date/venue for the meeting." Stay tuned... MorningStar has now confirmed the meeting will be rescheduled to 4/23 at the NCSU McKimmon Center   Apr. 02 5:30 p.m. Pullen Park Community Center CC Classroom, 408 Ashe Ave, Raleigh, NC 27606 W Peace St Assemblage Pre-Submittal IX-12 TO DX-30-UG (Additional Information) D Jason Barron FROM RALEIGH NEIGHBORS UNITED ACTION: PACK THE […]
