13-3561 — Higher-density residential (R-10) with conditions prohibiting apartment buildings, congregate care, continuing care retirement communities, rest homes, schools, day care centers, golf courses, outdoor sports/entertainment facilities, and parking facilities in Raleigh, NC
This 2.81-acre rezoning request on Trailwood Drive seeks to increase residential density from R-4 to R-10 with a conditional use overlay while prohibiting apartments and certain institutional uses. Public comments raised significant concerns about infrastructure adequacy, including narrow road width, lack of sidewalks and bike paths, insufficient sewer service, and emergency response access issues, along with cumulative impacts from three concurrent rezoning cases in the area. The Planning Commission found the rezoning consistent with the Future Land Use Map and Comprehensive Plan, though the recommendation section in the document appears incomplete.
