Committee of the Whole

The Planning Commission Committee of the Whole meets on April 23, 2026 to discuss the following item. If the Committee refers the item to the full Planning Commission for this agenda, it may be discussed.

E.

Old Business

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.

F.

New Business

F.1

Rezoning Z-3-26 617 West Jones Street and 117 Glenwood Avenue, Near Southwest Corner of Intersection of Glennwood Avenue and West Jones Street (District D)

Hiram Marziano, Planning and Development
.
This request is to allow for increased building height up to 20 stories and residential and commercial entitlement. The request would remove the North Boylan NCOD from 617 West Jones Street.
.
The deadline for Planning Commissioner action is June 27, 2026.

F.2

Rezoning Z-57-25: 8020 Litchford Road, 0.27 miles south of I-540 (ETJ)

Hiram Marziano, Planning & Development
.
The rezoning is for a 20.27-acre portion of the overall site. The request would rezone the western and northeastern portions of the site to R-6-CU. Proposed conditions apply a density limit to the site, limit development to the detached house building type, and prohibit certain uses.
.
The deadline for Planning Commission action is June 27, 2026.

Staff Contact: Erin Morton Pugh, Senior Preservation Planner
Hiram Marziano, Senior Planner
.
This is a City-initiated rezoning request containing 16 parcels along the New Bern Avenue planned Bus Rapid Transit (BRT) corridor.

Initiation of this request was authorized by City Council in response to the changes and owner consent has been obtained for all parcels included.

Five of the lots are located within the Oakwood Historic Overlay District (HOD-G) and the Oakwood National Register Historic District (NRHD). The properties at 15 S Bloodworth St, 100 N Person St, 311 E Edenton St, 325 E Edenton St are contributing historic resources in the district. The property at 307 E Edenton St is a noncontributing surface parking lot. Two additional properties have achieved Study List status (1313 New Bern Ave) or received a Determination of Eligibility (203 S Tarboro St) for listing on the National Register. The Richard B. Harrison Library at 1313 New Bern Ave is also eligible for listing as a local Raleigh Historic Landmark.

Hybrid Midtown Citizens Advisory Council Meeting
2026-05-18 19:00 - 21:00 | Eastgate Park, 4200 Quail Hollow Dr,, Raleigh, NC, 27609
I hope that everyone had a great weekend and wonderful Mother’s Day.

Please note the date of our meeting. We are meeting a week earlier than normal (May 18) due to the Memorial Holiday the following Monday. Please mark your calendars accordingly.
The agenda for the May meeting and minutes from the April meeting are appended.

In addition to our police report and Councilor updates, we are pleased to have representatives of the Osher Lifelong Learning Institute (OLLI) at NC State at our meeting this month. OLLI at NC State is a membership-based organization offering courses, lectures, study trips, and events for adults 50 and older. Founded in 1991 as the Encore Program for Lifelong Enrichment, they received an endowment from the Bernard Osher Foundation in 2014 and became the Osher Lifelong Learning Institute at NC State. Here is a link to their organization for further information: https://olli.lifelonglearning.ncsu.edu/about-us/

In addition, we will be introduced to a NCDOT beta mapping tool called “Projects Near Me” that will be having its soft launch this month, followed by going live this summer. The status of transportation projects occurring across the state. The tool consolidates project information into a single accessible location, helping users quickly identify nearby NCDOT projects, understand their status, and access relevant details without needing to navigate multiple systems or contact the Department. Here is a preliminary link to the mapping tool:
https://www.ncdot.gov/projects/ProjectsNearMe/

One last important matter that is of utmost importance to the sustainability of the Midtown CAC. Our last election was in June 2023. We have several vacancies in the administration of our CAC that need to be filled. Kathleen Cody will not be continuing in her vital role as our Secretary / Media Specialist. We also need both Chairman, Vice Chairman and Liaisons for succession planning for now and in the future. The intent is to have an election for new officers in June. If you are interested, please contact me within the month so we can generate a slate of candidates for the June meeting.
Hope to see everyone next Monday evening.
Thank you,
Larry
