Z-47-25 — student focused housing in Raleigh, NC
This rezoning request on Crest Road was approved by the Planning Commission to allow student-focused housing development. The project involves converting land currently used for naturally affordable housing into new residential units, raising concerns about displacement of existing residents and loss of affordable housing stock for students. The commission voted unanimously to approve the rezoning despite these community impact considerations.
