Z-44-26 — Hospital campus and associated medical facilities with potential residential component (up to 500 units) in Raleigh, NC
Rex Hospital is rezoning 61.21 acres from OX-12-UL to Campus Master Plan (CMP) zoning to consolidate development intensity around the central hospital campus with height step-downs to neighboring residential areas. The proposal shifts from a maximum 12-story, mixed-use entitlement to a 7-20 story specialized hospital campus that restricts residential units from 13,882 to 500 and reduces gross floor area from 24 million to 9.7 million square feet. This rezoning is consistent with the Comprehensive Plan's Institutional land use designation and supports policies for health care industry expansion.
