West Raleigh CAC Virtual Meeting
2026-08-26 19:00 - 20:30 (America/New_York) | Virtual
– Meeting –

Wednesday August 26th at 7pm
It’s time to meet and talk about what’s going on in West Raleigh!
There is a rezoning along Gorman street that is headed to Raleigh City Council and we will hear from the applicant about the proposed redevelopment of 3.55 acres.
GORMAN STREET ASSEMBLAGE

The proposed rezoning is to increase the allowed density from RX 3 to RX 7 which would allow for seven stories of building height.
The existing residents of the 48 apartments at Rhyne’s Gate as well as the 9 single family homes and 1 duplex will be displaced.
We will also be joined by City Planning staff to hear about the conditions being proposed along with the rezoning application to mitigate the loss of Naturally Occurring Affordable Housing (NOAH)
West Raleigh continues to be a focal point for infill redevelopment and this project is a larger one that is meeting the increased demand from NC State’s growing enrollment.

We hope you can join us on Wednesday evening via zoom.

My name is Monica Mimms, and I am the Director of Member & Community Relations at the Raleigh Regional Association of REALTORS® (RRAR). I lead our community outreach and assist our Government Affairs Director, Danielle Ploud, in advocacy partnerships across Wake and Harnett Counties.
We are excited to introduce RRAR’s new consumer advocacy campaign, Raleigh Rising. This campaign aims to bring everyday residents into the housing conversation (see attached flyer).
Our first town hall, “Who Can’t Afford Raleigh?”, will take place on Thursday, September 17, at the Chavis Park Reception Hall. This nonpartisan evening event will run for 90 minutes, featuring a short film, new Wake County polling data, and a presentation by the Wake County Housing Authority.
