AX-18-026 — Residential (up to 60 dwelling units) in Raleigh, NC
The applicant seeks to annex 2.93 acres from Wake County and rezone from R-30 to Raleigh R-10, which would increase residential development potential from 4 to 60 dwelling units and represent a compact extension of city development patterns. Staff recommends denial because the rezoning is inconsistent with the adopted Rural Residential Future Land Use Map designation and would introduce automobile-dependent development in an area lacking adequate pedestrian, bicycle, and transit access.
- Staff recommends denial — this one is fighting uphill
