OX-4-PL-CU — Mixed-use development permitting up to 400 residential dwelling units, 85,000 sq. ft. of office uses, 65,000 sq. ft. of retail uses, or combinations thereof; office/research and development uses in Raleigh, NC
This rezoning would convert 31.58 acres of industrial and rural-zoned land near Raleigh's airport into mixed-use office and residential development, allowing up to 400 residential units combined with various commercial uses. The project requires annexation of Durham County properties and is subject to airport noise mitigation conditions including noise-attenuating construction standards and avigation easements. Significant community opposition was raised regarding traffic impacts, wildlife concerns, and inconsistency with the existing Future Land Use Map.
