E.1

Rezoning Z-5-26 New Bern Avenue Assemblage, Along the New Bern Avenue BRT Corridor from Downtown to North Raleigh Boulevard (District C)

Hiram Marziano, Planning and Development
.
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. Changes to state law, made effective in late 2024, reverted the zoning districts of some parcels to what they were prior to 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. The public hearing is still open with remaining time for speakers as follows: 7:55 minutes for those in support and 1:54 minutes for those in opposition.
