Z-3-26 — Dense, mixed-use, pedestrian-oriented development with increased building height to 20 stories in Raleigh, NC
This rezoning would combine two downtown parcels and remove conditional use restrictions from the 117 Glenwood Avenue property while eliminating the North Boylan Neighborhood Conservation Overlay from 617 West Jones Street, allowing for a unified 20-story mixed-use development. The request is inconsistent with the Future Land Use Map but consistent with the 2030 Comprehensive Plan's downtown revitalization policies. The project would increase building heights and density in a transit-rich downtown area near multiple GoRaleigh routes, supporting pedestrian-oriented development and ground-floor retail activation.
