Neighborhood Rezoning Meeting: West Peace Street Assemblage -- Rescheduled to 4/23 at McKimmon Center
2025-04-02 17:30 - 18:30 | Pullen Park Community Center, 408 Ashe Ave, Raleigh, NC, 27607
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

FROM RALEIGH NEIGHBORS UNITED
ACTION: PACK THE ROOM April 2, 2025, 5:30 pm for a developer hosted neighborhood meeting at Pullen Community Center, Classroom 103, 408 Ashe Ave. Add this to your calendar and plan to be there. We need to make ourselves heard. It is not only about our neighborhood but all Raleigh neighborhoods. Main points of opposition are below.
The core team has been busy the last month. (Get Involved)

Yard Signs were printed and placed on Glenwood Avenue. Donate to get one and place it in your yard!
RaleighNeighborsUnited.com — our website — went live last night with links to Facebook and Instagram. Get Involved by creating content!
Fliers are going out to HGBN* this weekend. Livable Raleigh did fliers in Boylan Heights last week. Get Involved to help with fliers!
We had a blog post on Livable Raleigh. Our next post will be next week. Get Involved to join the writing team!

Please continue to share our message with your friends and neighbors. It is time to mobilize!
Main Opposition Points

The facts are clear: >12 stories, 240 ft from historic homes and in a transition area, violates 4 plans, 47 policies, 2 tables and 3 core definitions. There is not a single policy or plan that would support >12 stories. “Stick to the plans” (More Details)
If they force this here, where policy is clear, it will set a dangerous precedent to do this near any neighborhood. This is not an HGBN issue. All neighborhoods are at risk!
Given the facts, you should question any Council Member that votes for this rezoning.
