Z-21-19 — Mixed-use development with increased residential (attached houses, townhouses, apartments) and reduced commercial space (285,000 SF maximum) in Raleigh, NC

This rezoning increases permitted residential units from 450 to 650 while reducing commercial retail space from 360,000 SF to 285,000 SF, maintaining a mixed-use development pattern in Southeast Raleigh. The 650 residential units are contingent on grocery store approval; until then, only 450 units may be built. The rezoning is consistent with the comprehensive plan and future land use map, addresses a housing-constrained area with above-average rent increases, though it presents fire response time challenges under NFPA 1710 standards.
