Wake County zoned the Odd Fellows Tract back to low density residential in 1982 (Wake County R-40, 1 house per acre). The quarry (and the proposed “entertainment district” on the forested acres of Lake Crabtree) are not authorized uses in this Wake County zoning district. Unfortunately, the Raleigh-Durham Airport Authority (RDUAA) has chosen to ignore this Wake County zoning, and Wake County has thus far failed to enforce it. You can help by taking action!
Per an attorney for TORC (Triangle Off Road Cyclists), RDU does NOT have to develop Lake Crabtree County Park (LCCP). Wake County Commissioners do have the ability to step in. Please consider using this and other information to speak at the following upcoming public meetings in May (or to submit a written comment)
