Public Hearing for Z-12-25, The West St Tower
October 7th @ 7pm
City Council Chambers
Roy Attride (Raleigh Neighbors United)
The public hearing for this case will be held Tuesday, October 7 at 7pm. This public hearing will allow ONLY 8 minutes in TOTAL for those in opposition to present their case to City Council.
Below is a video outlining the full fact and policy based opposition to Z-12-25.
The 240’/360′ towers, in a transition area, 776′ along Historic Glenwood-Brooklyn Neighborhood only 190′ to 240′ feet from homes violates all plans, polices, urban planning guidelines and logic. This does not make sense.
