RX-7-UL-CU — Residential mixed-use development with up to 260 dwelling units and limited ground-floor retail/services in Raleigh, NC
This rezoning request would allow increased residential density (up to 260 units) on a 2.66-acre site near NC State University and the future Western BRT corridor, replacing 83 existing garden-style apartments. The proposal includes conditions limiting unit count, restricting height within 35 feet of Crest Road, requiring affordable housing contributions ($115,000), tenant relocation assistance, and e-bike infrastructure. While inconsistent with the Future Land Use Map (which designates Medium Scale Residential), the project is consistent with Comprehensive Plan policies supporting transit-oriented development and increased housing supply.
