This rezoning request would change the zoning for 17 parcels within vicinity of the New Bern Station Area Plan. These parcels were previously rezoned through a portion of rezoning request Z-92-22.

As a result, the city organized this new rezoning request that complies with state law.
.
This request would allow for more diverse mixed-use development, increased building heights and increased residential entitlement.
.
On April 14, 2026, the Planning Commission reviewed this case and heard comments from Staff and the public. The item was deferred to the April 28, 2026 Planning Commission meeting for further consideration.
