Z-78-21 — Mixed-use development with residential units, retail, and office space in Raleigh, NC
This rezoning request increases the maximum height allowance from 5 stories to 20 stories on a 1.28-acre downtown site, enabling a high-density mixed-use development. The project maintains similar residential unit capacity (434 vs. 442 units) while slightly decreasing retail space but increasing office space. Key conditions preserve the historic W Martin Street façade (first 85 feet), require Main Street streetscape standards on S Dawson Street, and mandate public plaza and pedestrian amenities on Commerce Place.
