SUMMARY:Town of Wake Forest: Board of Commissioners
DESCRIPTION:Board of Commissioners\n\nThe Wake Forest Board of Commissioners holds two public hearings this month. One would clarify and reaffirm the town's zoning and overlay district maps under case RZ-21-07.

SUMMARY:Town of Wake Forest: Board of Commissioners

SUMMARY:Town of Wake Forest: Board of Commissioners
DESCRIPTION:Board of Commissioners\n\nThe board considers pledging $3.3 million in local funds toward a federal grant for a Wake Forest stop on the S-Line passenger rail corridor. The 20% match would help draw a $13.2 million Rebuilding American Infrastructure with Sustainability and Equity (RAISE) grant from NCDOT\, covering final design\, right-of-way acquisition and construction of a mobility hub\, a $16.5 million project in Wake Forest alone. NCDOT is pursuing the grant as a fallback in case a separate federal award the board endorsed last year does not come through.\n\nThe board also holds a public hearing on a petition to annex about 3 acres at 1950 Friendship Chapel Road\, tied to rezoning case RZ-23-01\, then takes up a companion item to act on the annexation itself. A consent agenda includes a $4.36 million amendment to the current budget\, with the largest single piece\, $3.09 million\, going to Parks\, Recreation & Cultural Resources\, plus two appointments to the Human Relations Council. The board also considers the 2024-2029 Capital Improvements Plan update\, which would direct staff to build a financing plan into next year's operating budget.\n\nAgenda: https://wake-forest.granicus.com/AgendaViewer.php?view_id=3&clip_id=1538\nWatch: https://wake-forest.granicus.com/ViewPublisher.php?view_id=3\nDetails: https://ncgovwatch.com/meetings/3467

DESCRIPTION:Board of Commissioners\n\nWake Forest commissioners will hold a public hearing on a 5.54-acre annexation petition tied to rezoning case RZ-22-07\, covering two parcels on Capital Boulevard owned by Elizabeth Hunt Holding and SW Capital LLC.

SUMMARY:Town of Wake Forest: Board of Commissioners Work Session
DESCRIPTION:Board of Commissioners Work Session\n\nA corridor study recommends redesigning South Main Street with bike lanes\, roundabouts\, wide sidewalks and parallel parking\, the option it calls Concept B.

SUMMARY:Town of Wake Forest: Board of Commissioners
DESCRIPTION:Board of Commissioners\n\nThe board is set to endorse Concept B of the draft South Main Street Corridor Study\, a full redesign of the corridor with off-street bike lanes\, wide sidewalks\, roundabouts\, parallel parking and a tree-lined median. Concept A\, which stays inside the current road right-of-way\, is the fallback option\; endorsing Concept B would add the design to the town's Comprehensive Transportation Plan. Stantec presented the draft study at the board's July 2 work session.\n\nCommissioners will also vote on a $94\,105 contract with Johnson Consulting to study whether to renovate or build a new performing arts center at the Renaissance Centre\, sign a resolution joining the Kroger opioid settlement\, and take up an interlocal agreement adopting Wake County's 2021 nondiscrimination ordinance. The agenda also includes updated bylaws for the US 1 Council of Planning that add the state's planned S-Line high-speed rail corridor to its scope.\n\nAgenda: https://wake-forest.granicus.com/AgendaViewer.php?view_id=3&clip_id=1640\nWatch: https://wake-forest.granicus.com/ViewPublisher.php?view_id=3\nDetails: https://ncgovwatch.com/meetings/3466

SUMMARY:Town of Wake Forest: Board of Commissioners Work Session
DESCRIPTION:Board of Commissioners Work Session\n\nCommissioners are asked to approve a resolution letting the town file with the state Local Government Commission for up to $1.46 million in two-thirds parks and recreation bonds. The money would fund improvements at Miller Park and the town's reservoir\, both already in design. Staff plan to pair the sale with an Oct. 1 bond sale of $22.05 million already authorized by the November 2022 referendum.\n\nThe work session previews four items headed to the board's Aug. 20 meeting: an ordinance realigning the town's 1985 fire limits boundary with the downtown business district\, a design-build contract with Edifice LLC for a new Fire Station 6 at 1621 and 1701 Wait Avenue\, two research presentations from the town's Historic Preservation summer interns\, and a proposal to let ninth and tenth graders serve on youth advisory board seats again. NCDOT will also update commissioners on a planned downtown mobility hub and Amtrak station along its S-line rail corridor\, and staff will preview June 30 financial results ahead of the town's annual audit.\n\nAgenda: https://wake-forest.granicus.com/AgendaViewer.php?view_id=3&clip_id=1643\nWatch: https://wake-forest.granicus.com/ViewPublisher.php?view_id=3\nDetails: https://ncgovwatch.com/meetings/3334

Also on the agenda: a design-build contract for Fire Station 6\, an updated Horse Creek watershed plan\, and a redrawn downtown fire-limits boundary.\n\nOther business includes joining the NC CLASS investment pool\, amendments letting high school students serve as voting members on five town advisory boards\, and the department's monthly and strategic-plan updates.\n\nAgenda: https://wake-forest.granicus.com/AgendaViewer.php?view_id=3&clip_id=1647\nWatch: https://wake-forest.granicus.com/ViewPublisher.php?view_id=3\nDetails: https://ncgovwatch.com/meetings/3395

SUMMARY:Town of Wake Forest: Board of Commissioners Work Session
DESCRIPTION:Board of Commissioners Work Session\n\nWake Forest's board takes up a parks and recreation impact fee increase that would roughly double what new development pays toward parks. A study by consultant Benesch calculates the fee at $8\,856 per single-family home and $4\,789 per multi-family unit\, against the $3\,691 and $2\,202 the town has charged since 2018. No vote is scheduled tonight\; a public hearing on adopting the new fees and the town's updated parks and recreation master plan comes September 17.\n\nThe rest of the session is presentations without action: a seventh work session on the Unified Development Ordinance rewrite Houseal Lavigne Associates has been drafting since 2022\, an update on that parks master plan itself\, a briefing on the regional Blueprint for Safety traffic study CAMPO expects to finish by fall 2025\, and July's financial summaries. Those show the general fund collected $846\,315 of an $86.9 million budget and spent $6.3 million\, for a year-to-date net loss of $5.4 million\, typical for early in the fiscal year since ad valorem taxes\, over half of general fund revenue\, are not due until September 1. The board also previews its September 17 regular meeting agenda\, which includes a rezoning for the Reserve at Dunn Creek\, a special use permit for a Whataburger drive-thru\, and $1.46 million in parks bonds.\n\nAgenda: https://wake-forest.granicus.com/AgendaViewer.php?view_id=3&clip_id=1649\nWatch: https://wake-forest.granicus.com/ViewPublisher.php?view_id=3\nDetails: https://ncgovwatch.com/meetings/3370

SUMMARY:Town of Wake Forest: Planning Board Special "Called" Work Session
DESCRIPTION:Planning Board Special "Called" Work Session\n\nThe Wake Forest Planning Board's specially called work session covered three separate projects rather than one: a seventh working session on the town's Unified Development Ordinance rewrite\, a public comment session on the draft 2024 Parks\, Recreation and Cultural Resources Master Plan\, and a briefing on a proposed increase to the parks impact fee developers pay. None of the three called for a board vote.\n\nThe parks master plan\, last updated in 2015\, goes to a Board of Commissioners public hearing on September 17. The impact fee study found the town's current fee well below what its own cost analysis would support\, a change state law requires the Planning Board to weigh in on before commissioners can adopt it.\n\nAgenda: https://wake-forest.granicus.com/AgendaViewer.php?view_id=3&clip_id=1663\nWatch: https://wake-forest.granicus.com/ViewPublisher.php?view_id=3\nDetails: https://ncgovwatch.com/meetings/3331
