SUMMARY:Town of Wake Forest: Board of Commissioners Work Session
DESCRIPTION:Board of Commissioners Work Session\n\nThe board holds three public hearings tonight. One is a rezoning of 8.68 acres on South Allen Road from mixed-use to residential\, filed by the town itself. Another sets the annexation boundary between Wake Forest and Rolesville. The third is a petition to annex 4.518 acres for the Mason Oaks subdivision\, filed by Greenpointe LLC. A related rezoning for that same land\, filed by The Nau Company\, follows immediately after.\n\nAway from the hearings\, commissioners discuss combining two part-time police positions into one full-time evidence technician job. They also take up a suspension of the parks-use ordinance and a proposed ordinance on trespassing in or on a motorized vehicle. A resolution would name Sherry Scoggins interim town clerk\, and a proclamation would mark October 11 as Indigenous Peoples Day.\n\nAgenda: https://wake-forest.granicus.com/AgendaViewer.php?view_id=3&clip_id=1183\nWatch: https://wake-forest.granicus.com/ViewPublisher.php?view_id=3\nDetails: https://ncgovwatch.com/meetings/3363

SUMMARY:Town of Wake Forest: Planning Board
DESCRIPTION:Planning Board\n\nWake Forest's planning board takes public comment on a rewrite of its own zoning map\, not a rezoning of any single property. Case RZ-21-07 asks the board to clarify and reaffirm which zoning and overlay designations apply across the town\, updating the map to match changes made since Wake Forest adopted its Unified Development Ordinance in 2013. The town itself is the applicant\; no other property owner is named.\n\nStaff call the request consistent with the town's Community Plan\, Historic Preservation Plan\, Northeast Neighborhood Plan and Renaissance Plan\, and recommend the board add a condition updating the map to reflect zoning changes the Board of Commissioners approved October 5. A public hearing is tentatively set for November 16. The rest of the agenda is procedural: adopting two sets of draft minutes from September and a staff update on upcoming public comment.\n\nAgenda: https://wake-forest.granicus.com/AgendaViewer.php?view_id=3&clip_id=1188\nWatch: https://wake-forest.granicus.com/ViewPublisher.php?view_id=3\nDetails: https://ncgovwatch.com/meetings/3349

SUMMARY:Town of Wake Forest: Planning Board
DESCRIPTION:Planning Board\n\nThe Planning Board takes public comment on two plan updates ahead of a December 21 public hearing on each. The first is an update to the Northeast Community Plan\, which guides growth in Wake Forest's historically African American neighborhood northeast of downtown. The rewrite followed four advisory committee meetings\, 22 stakeholder interviews\, a survey mailed to every address and property owner in the area with 109 responses\, two virtual public workshops\, and a September event at the DuBois Campus with more than 75 participants. It organizes recommendations under four themes\, Preserve & Protect\, Flourish\, Connect and Partner\, with an implementation matrix tying each action to a timeline. Staff recommend approval.\n\nThe second is a set of amendments to the 2019 Comprehensive Transportation Plan\, covering the bicycle\, pedestrian and greenway network maps\, the regional and town transit maps\, roadway cross-sections and the future roadway network\, and the greenway prioritization table. The Parks\, Recreation and Cultural Advisory Board has already voted unanimously to recommend the bicycle and pedestrian changes\, and staff say the amendment aligns the plan with the Renaissance Area Plan and the draft Northeast Community Plan. The board also recognizes Tilda Caudle\, who served on the Northeast Community Plan's advisory committee\, as a recipient of the state planning association's Marvin Collins Award\, and takes up its meeting schedule for 2022.\n\nAgenda: https://wake-forest.granicus.com/AgendaViewer.php?view_id=3&clip_id=1197\nWatch: https://wake-forest.granicus.com/ViewPublisher.php?view_id=3\nDetails: https://ncgovwatch.com/meetings/3393

SUMMARY:Town of Wake Forest: Board of Adjustment
DESCRIPTION:Board of Adjustment\n\nThe Wake Forest Board of Adjustment holds a public hearing on two variance requests for the Home Depot at 11915 Retail Drive. The store sits in Capital Plaza Shopping Center. Applicant Scott A. Mommer Consulting represents property owner HD Development of Maryland. It wants spandrel glass to cover 100% of the glazing required on the store's north elevation\, instead of the ordinance's 15% cap. It also wants a new Tool Rental Center's pickup\, drop-off and storage areas placed in the front and street-side setbacks. The ordinance otherwise limits accessory uses to the side or rear yard.\n\nGranting either variance takes four of the board's members agreeing that the request meets each of the ordinance's four findings-of-fact tests. Staff's analysis finds both hardships self-created by the proposed use\, not by any condition specific to the property. Staff recommends the board weigh the two requests separately. The board also takes up the minutes from its February 17 meeting.\n\nAgenda: https://wake-forest.granicus.com/AgendaViewer.php?view_id=3&clip_id=1249\nWatch: https://wake-forest.granicus.com/ViewPublisher.php?view_id=3\nDetails: https://ncgovwatch.com/meetings/3399

DESCRIPTION:Board of Commissioners Work Session\n\nEvolve Companies wants to rezone 5.83 acres on Star Road for Hawthorne Wake Forest Phase 2. The Planning Board voted 5-1 against it\, finding the project inconsistent with the town's Community Plan and recommending denial. Kimley-Horn\, filing for the separate Wake Union project\, wants to rezone 71.46 acres near Wake Union Church Road and Capital Boulevard for a mixed-use development. The Planning Board voted 5-1 to recommend approval\, with two added conditions. Open space at the townhome site can no longer count walking trails or community gardens\, and all buildings are capped at three stories. The applicant agreed to both.\n\nThe board also considers introducing four bond orders for a $75 million referendum on November 8\, 2022. They break down into $23.72 million for roads and transportation and $24.43 million for parks and recreation. Another $14.35 million would go to greenways and $12.5 million to parking facilities. Introducing the orders sets a July 19 public hearing. A separate item would update Chapters 1 and 8 of the Unified Development Ordinance\; the Planning Board voted 6-0 to recommend approval. The board also plans a closed session on pending litigation\, Fred Smith FSC II\, LLC dba Fred Smith Company v. Town of Wake Forest.\n\nAgenda: https://wake-forest.granicus.com/AgendaViewer.php?view_id=3&clip_id=1254\nWatch: https://wake-forest.granicus.com/ViewPublisher.php?view_id=3\nDetails: https://ncgovwatch.com/meetings/3353

SUMMARY:Town of Wake Forest: Board of Adjustment
DESCRIPTION:Board of Adjustment\n\nThe Board of Adjustment holds a public hearing on a variance for a 5.15-acre lot at 0 Foundation Drive. The site sits across from Heritage High School\, behind the Shoppes at Heritage Village. The Nau Company wants to build apartments there\, on land Heritage RMX\, LLC owns\, but the parcel has only 22.71 feet of frontage on Foundation Drive. That is not enough to meet the Residential Mixed-Use district's rule requiring at least half a building's frontage within 18 feet of the street. The company asks the board to make that maximum setback not apply to the property.\n\nApproving the variance takes a four-fifths vote of the board\, under state law and the town's ordinance. The board must also find that the setback rule creates a hardship rooted in the lot's shape\, not the owner's actions\, and that granting relief still fits the ordinance's purpose. Staff's report walks through each required finding but does not recommend granting or denying the variance.\n\nAgenda: https://wake-forest.granicus.com/AgendaViewer.php?view_id=3&clip_id=1272\nWatch: https://wake-forest.granicus.com/ViewPublisher.php?view_id=3\nDetails: https://ncgovwatch.com/meetings/3381

SUMMARY:Town of Wake Forest: Board of Commissioners
DESCRIPTION:Board of Commissioners\n\nThe Town of Wake Forest Board of Commissioners holds a public hearing on closing part of the right-of-way along Caddell Street\, a leftover strip from a 2013 paving project that the developer of an adjoining parcel\, identified by PIN 1841516796\, has asked the town to abandon to make room for the planned Wake Forest Food Hall. The board also takes up a companion resolution to formally order the closure once the hearing is complete.\n\nThe rest of the agenda is routine business: a third budget ordinance amendment for the current fiscal year that would raise general fund appropriations by $369\,520\, a resolution accepting several newly built subdivision streets in the Traditions and Austin Creek developments into the town's maintenance system for Powell Bill funding\, and appointments to the Parks\, Recreation & Cultural Resources Advisory Board and the Public Art Commission. Five proclamations are also on the agenda\, for Earth Day\, Arbor Day\, Building Safety Month\, St. Baldrick's Day and Municipal Clerks Week.\n\nAgenda: https://wake-forest.granicus.com/AgendaViewer.php?view_id=3&clip_id=1355\nWatch: https://wake-forest.granicus.com/ViewPublisher.php?view_id=3\nDetails: https://ncgovwatch.com/meetings/3400

SUMMARY:Town of Wake Forest: Board of Adjustment
DESCRIPTION:Board of Adjustment\n\nOne appeal is before Wake Forest's Board of Adjustment on 20 April 2023\, and staff ask the board not to hear it. The town issued two notices of violation in November 2022 against a 3.96-acre property on Old Crawford Road\, in its extraterritorial jurisdiction. One was for a prohibited use. The other was for three structures built without permits: a two-story playhouse with a deck\, an open-faced bar with electrical service and an interior room\, and a pool equipment shed.\n\nThe appeal raises three grounds — that the town has no jurisdiction outside its corporate limits\, that no permits were needed or too little time was given to get them\, and that the penalty is excessive. Staff answer each and then argue the board should not reach any of them. An appeal must be filed within 30 days of the notice\; this one was filed on 24 February\, and as of 14 April the town had still not received an authorization form signed by both owners.\n\nAgenda: https://wake-forest.granicus.com/AgendaViewer.php?view_id=3&clip_id=1357\nWatch: https://wake-forest.granicus.com/ViewPublisher.php?view_id=3\nDetails: https://ncgovwatch.com/meetings/3460

SUMMARY:Town of Wake Forest: Board of Commissioners Work Session
DESCRIPTION:Board of Commissioners Work Session\n\nThe board takes up a rezoning it has already put off twice. Church Street Company wants to rezone 68.28 acres at 0 Harris Road from Rural Holding to a mix of Highway Business\, Neighborhood Mixed Use and General Residential 10 conditional districts for a subdivision\, but the Planning Board voted 6-0 in December to call the plan inconsistent with the town's Community Plan and recommend denial. The board also gets its first look at the manager's proposed FY 2023-2024 budget\, though the agenda's own document carries no numbers at all -- it says only that Town Manager Kip Padgett will present highlights in a slide deck.\n\nOther business includes proclamations for Mental Health Month and National Day of Prayer\, a housekeeping rewrite of the electric-utility chapter of the town code\, an ordinance that would let the town's summer baseball team sell beer and wine at Flaherty Park\, an update on a stalled property purchase near Front Street\, a small Comprehensive Plan map change on Heritage Lake Road\, the March financial report\, and a preview of the May 16 regular meeting -- where the budget's public hearing and several financing items are actually scheduled to be decided.\n\nAgenda: https://wake-forest.granicus.com/AgendaViewer.php?view_id=3&clip_id=1364\nWatch: https://wake-forest.granicus.com/ViewPublisher.php?view_id=3\nDetails: https://ncgovwatch.com/meetings/3341

SUMMARY:Town of Wake Forest: Planning Board
DESCRIPTION:Planning Board\n\nThe Wake Forest Planning Board takes up three rezonings covering close to 75 acres\, all filed by companies rather than individual owners. McAdams Company wants 44.42 acres at Jenkins Road and Capital Boulevard rezoned for a mixed residential and neighborhood business project called Amavi. GGP Wake Forest LLC and The Site Group\, PLLC each want tracts along Burlington Mills Road rezoned for residential and neighborhood mixed use.\n\nThe board holds public comment on all three before it makes a recommendation to the town council\, which has final say on the rezonings. It also takes up its April 11 meeting minutes.\n\nAgenda: https://wake-forest.granicus.com/AgendaViewer.php?view_id=3&clip_id=1366\nWatch: https://wake-forest.granicus.com/ViewPublisher.php?view_id=3\nDetails: https://ncgovwatch.com/meetings/3414

SUMMARY:Town of Wake Forest: Board of Commissioners
DESCRIPTION:Board of Commissioners\n\nThe board holds two public hearings: one on the proposed FY2023-2024 budget\, and one on a Comprehensive Plan Amendment the town itself filed for 2.64 acres at 0 Heritage Lake Road\, which would reclassify the site from unclassified to Neighborhood Commercial. The Planning Board recommended it 6-0 in April\, and the commissioners take up the case again later in the meeting\, under Planning Items\, to act on it.\n\nA six-item consent agenda includes a $779\,715 installment loan for vehicles and equipment\, awarded to First Citizens Bank at 4.18% over three years as the lowest of four bids\, and a raise in the town's audit contract with Cherry Bekaert LLP to $60\,775\, up from the $42\,000 set in a 2018 five-year agreement. It also includes an ordinance change letting the FUNGO summer college baseball league sell alcohol at Flaherty Park Field #2 during home games. Under Planning Items\, the board would let the town manager sign a $175\,000 contract with Stantec for an S. Main Street access management study and a contract of up to $405\,800 with a Houseal Lavigne-led team for a downtown small-area plan\, parking study and municipal service district evaluation. The board would also hold two closed sessions\, one on a real estate or employment negotiation and one on confidential information.\n\nAgenda: https://wake-forest.granicus.com/AgendaViewer.php?view_id=3&clip_id=1368\nWatch: https://wake-forest.granicus.com/ViewPublisher.php?view_id=3\nDetails: https://ncgovwatch.com/meetings/3439

Consultants from Houseal Lavigne Associates present proposed zoning district and use regulation standards\, the next step in a comprehensive update that has already finished a kickoff\, initial public engagement and an analysis phase.

SUMMARY:Town of Wake Forest: Board of Commissioners Work Session
DESCRIPTION:Board of Commissioners Work Session\n\nWake Forest commissioners will review a $1\,350\,000 agreement with the City of Raleigh for stormwater and paving work on North Main Street and eight other streets. American Rescue Plan Act money would cover it. The board will also take up a third amendment to the cities' 2005 utility merger agreement. It would apply a $1\,239\,352 overpayment Wake Forest made toward additional water capacity. It would also expand Raleigh's service area into land the town plans to bring into its extraterritorial jurisdiction. The amendment would also sell a town-owned parcel on South College Street to Raleigh for a new elevated water tank and booster station.\n\nPlanning staff will present transit service alternatives for the town's draft Public Transit Plan\, developed after a pop-up event\, two open houses and two surveys. Commissioners will also hear the monthly financial report and preview the July 18 regular meeting agenda. That agenda includes a public hearing on a 22.9-acre annexation petition on North Main Street and a consent item to annex 27.4 acres on Rogers Road for a townhome development.\n\nAgenda: https://wake-forest.granicus.com/AgendaViewer.php?view_id=3&clip_id=1384\nWatch: https://wake-forest.granicus.com/ViewPublisher.php?view_id=3\nDetails: https://ncgovwatch.com/meetings/3337

SUMMARY:Town of Wake Forest: Planning Board
DESCRIPTION:Planning Board\n\nWake Forest's planning board holds a public comment session July 11 on a rezoning that would bring 140 townhomes to 27 acres on Rogers Road\, land now outside town limits. Kimley-Horn & Associates has applied on behalf of owner M & EM Co LLC and developer Baker Residential to rezone the tract from Wake County's Residential-30 designation to the town's General Residential 10 Conditional District. An annexation petition for the same property is also pending. Staff recommends disapproval\, saying the master plan's setbacks\, rooflines and lot layout fall short of the comprehensive plan's guidance for townhome character\, and that the applicant is asking for more exceptions from town development standards than staff considers reasonable. The town's board of commissioners is scheduled to hold the formal public hearing on the case August 15.\n\nThat hearing never happened. The annexation petition went to the commissioners on 18 July and the rezoning came back to them at a work session on 1 August\, but by 15 August the applicant had withdrawn both the rezoning and the annexation\, and the board held no hearing.\n\nThe board also hears a presentation on transit service alternatives for the town's draft Public Transit Plan\, prepared by Toole Design after surveys and open houses on expanding bus service beyond the current Wake Forest Loop and the Wake Forest-Raleigh Express commuter route. It takes up minutes from its May 9 regular meeting and May 24 special work session. The agenda lists no items under presentations or old business.\n\nAgenda: https://wake-forest.granicus.com/AgendaViewer.php?view_id=3&clip_id=1390\nWatch: https://wake-forest.granicus.com/ViewPublisher.php?view_id=3\nDetails: https://ncgovwatch.com/meetings/3426

SUMMARY:Town of Wake Forest: Board of Commissioners
DESCRIPTION:Board of Commissioners\n\nThe board decides whether to accept an annexation petition from M & EM Co. LLC for 27 acres at 0 Rogers Road\, tied to the Rogers Road Townhomes rezoning\, and to set a public hearing on it. Wake County lists the tract under three PINs. The same meeting takes up a third amendment to the Wake Forest-Raleigh utility merger agreement\, which would reconcile a Wake Forest water overpayment\, adjust the boundary between the two systems' service areas\, and sell a town parcel at 234 S. College Street to Raleigh for an elevated water tank and booster station.\n\nThe board also considers an intermunicipal agreement letting the Town Manager execute a deal with Raleigh for stormwater and paving work tied to Raleigh's water and sewer upgrades in the area\, and would name the assistant town manager/CFO and the electric utility director as Wake Forest's first and second alternates to the North Carolina Eastern Municipal Power Agency. The rest of the agenda is routine: minutes from the June 6 work session and June 20 regular meeting\, a monthly department report\, a capital improvement project tracker\, a strategic plan update\, and a Wake County tax release report.\n\nAgenda: https://wake-forest.granicus.com/AgendaViewer.php?view_id=3&clip_id=1392\nWatch: https://wake-forest.granicus.com/ViewPublisher.php?view_id=3\nDetails: https://ncgovwatch.com/meetings/3437

SUMMARY:Town of Wake Forest: Board of Adjustment
DESCRIPTION:Board of Adjustment\n\nOne matter is before Wake Forest's Board of Adjustment on 20 July 2023: an appeal against two notices of violation issued over a beekeeping operation on North Main Street\, where the town says the use and an accessory structure were never permitted.\n\nThe attachments show what the argument turns on. Alongside the notices\, the inspection photographs and the stop-work order posting\, the file carries a state conditional farmer exemption card\, a deed for a parcel in another county\, an LLC's annual report\, and articles from NC Extension on present-use value. The question is whether the property qualifies as a farm\, which would put it outside the town's zoning reach.\n\nAgenda: https://wake-forest.granicus.com/AgendaViewer.php?view_id=3&clip_id=1393\nWatch: https://wake-forest.granicus.com/ViewPublisher.php?view_id=3\nDetails: https://ncgovwatch.com/meetings/3456

DESCRIPTION:Planning Board\n\nThe Planning Board takes public comment on a self-storage project that planning staff recommend against approving. 4Rivers Property Group is asking the town to rezone 2.64 acres at 0 Friendship Chapel Road from General Residential 10 to a highway business conditional district for a three-story\, 110\,500-square-foot storage building. Staff say the plan conflicts with the 2022 Community Plan on five counts\, including its place in a Neighborhood Commercial node meant for shops and mixed-use buildings\, and it falls short of the town's parking standard\, offering 12 spaces where the zoning code calls for 55.\n\nThe board also takes comment on the draft Wake Forest Public Transit Plan\, an August 2023 update built from four open houses and two surveys that lays out options for expanding bus service beyond the town's current Raleigh partnership routes. Both items return for a public hearing September 19. The board also hears a kickoff presentation on updating the town's parks and recreation master plan and takes up minutes from its July 11 meeting.\n\nAgenda: https://wake-forest.granicus.com/AgendaViewer.php?view_id=3&clip_id=1404\nWatch: https://wake-forest.granicus.com/ViewPublisher.php?view_id=3\nDetails: https://ncgovwatch.com/meetings/3433

SUMMARY:Town of Wake Forest: Planning Board Special "Called" Work Session
DESCRIPTION:Planning Board Special "Called" Work Session\n\nThis special work session is the fourth the Planning Board has held this year on the town's comprehensive rewrite of the Unified Development Ordinance\, called outside the board's regular monthly meeting to keep the multi-year project moving. Consultants from Houseal Lavigne Associates will present proposed development standards covering general provisions\, building design\, access and mobility\, tree protection\, landscaping\, buffers and lighting.\n\nThe standards grow out of recommendations in the comprehensive plan and feedback from a public open house and online survey held earlier this year\, after the same consultants presented proposed zoning districts and use regulations. No votes are scheduled\; the board is being asked only for feedback before further work sessions cover other sections of the ordinance. The rest of the printed agenda holds only the call to order\, adoption of the agenda and adjournment.\n\nAgenda: https://wake-forest.granicus.com/AgendaViewer.php?view_id=3&clip_id=1408\nWatch: https://wake-forest.granicus.com/ViewPublisher.php?view_id=3\nDetails: https://ncgovwatch.com/meetings/3346

SUMMARY:Town of Wake Forest: Board of Commissioners
DESCRIPTION:Board of Commissioners\n\nWake Forest holds a public hearing on a conditional rezoning that would let 4Rivers build a self-storage facility on 2.64 acres at 0 Friendship Chapel Road\, converting land zoned for housing to highway business use.

SUMMARY:Town of Wake Forest: Board of Adjustment
DESCRIPTION:Board of Adjustment\n\nThree quasi-judicial matters come before Wake Forest's Board of Adjustment on 21 September 2023. Carried over from an earlier meeting is an appeal against two notices of violation issued over a beekeeping operation on North Main Street\, where the town says the use and an accessory structure were never permitted.\n\nThe other two both concern The Factory at 1839 S Main Street. One is an appeal of the planning director's ruling that a proposed sign is an awning or canopy sign rather than a wall sign\, a distinction that decides how large it may be. The other is a variance request from three sections of the sign ordinance: awning sign area\, directional sign height\, and the number of monument signs allowed. A variance needs a four-fifths concurring vote.\n\nAgenda: https://wake-forest.granicus.com/AgendaViewer.php?view_id=3&clip_id=1414\nWatch: https://wake-forest.granicus.com/ViewPublisher.php?view_id=3\nDetails: https://ncgovwatch.com/meetings/3385

SUMMARY:Town of Wake Forest: Planning Board
DESCRIPTION:Planning Board\n\nWake Forest's Planning Board takes public comment October 10 on a rezoning of 19.30 acres at 0 Stadium Drive from Rural Holding District to a Neighborhood Mixed-Use Conditional District.

The board is not voting on the case\; a formal public hearing is tentatively set for November 21.\n\nThe board also takes comment on a comprehensive plan amendment covering about 584 acres near Oak Grove Church Road and Gilcrest Farm Road\, reclassifying the land as Conventional Residential so property owners there can later seek annexation and rezoning for municipal water and sewer service. Staff recommend approval. The board separately reviews potential 2024 meeting schedule options and takes up minutes from its August 21\, September 6\, and September 12 meetings.\n\nAgenda: https://wake-forest.granicus.com/AgendaViewer.php?view_id=3&clip_id=1421\nWatch: https://wake-forest.granicus.com/ViewPublisher.php?view_id=3\nDetails: https://ncgovwatch.com/meetings/3335

DESCRIPTION:Planning Board\n\nThe Wake Forest Planning Board takes up its own calendar for 2024. Board members raised concerns about how many special called work sessions the board has needed each year\, and staff drew up three alternate meeting-date patterns meant to cut down on those extra sessions: the second Tuesday of each month\, the first Thursday\, or the first Wednesday. Members saw all three schedules at the October meeting and return this month to choose one.\n\nNothing else is before the board. The rest of the agenda is the board's standing business: adopting the night's agenda\, approving minutes\, and reports from staff and board members.\n\nAgenda: https://wake-forest.granicus.com/AgendaViewer.php?view_id=3&clip_id=1429\nWatch: https://wake-forest.granicus.com/ViewPublisher.php?view_id=3\nDetails: https://ncgovwatch.com/meetings/3397

SUMMARY:Town of Wake Forest: Planning Board
DESCRIPTION:Planning Board\n\nThe board takes up a rezoning for the Star Road Tech Center\, filed by St. John Properties\, that would rezone 30.35 acres at 0 Star Road from Highway Business and Special Highway Overlay to Highway Business Conditional District\, opening the site to commercial\, office and light industrial use. Staff's report finds the plan generally inconsistent with the town's Community Plan and recommends denial\, citing five points of conflict: the land use mix\, a parking plan below UDO minimums\, and the applicant's refusal to build a backage road the Comprehensive Transportation Plan requires along the property's east side. The tract sits in the town's extraterritorial jurisdiction along Star Road near US-1\; no annexation petition has been filed. This meeting takes public comment on the case\, and the Board of Commissioners' public hearing is tentatively set for March 19.\n\nAlso on the agenda: the fifth work session on the town's Unified Development Ordinance rewrite\, where staff present draft standards for planned unit developments\, subdivision and lot rules\, and open space requirements for board feedback. No vote is attached to the work session. The board also takes up approval of its December 12 minutes\, still marked draft.\n\nAgenda: https://wake-forest.granicus.com/AgendaViewer.php?view_id=3&clip_id=1524\nWatch: https://wake-forest.granicus.com/ViewPublisher.php?view_id=3\nDetails: https://ncgovwatch.com/meetings/3373

SUMMARY:Town of Wake Forest: Board of Adjustment
DESCRIPTION:Board of Adjustment\n\nWake Forest's Board of Adjustment takes its first hearing on BOA-23-05\, a setback variance for three lots around the Sun Meadow Drive cul-de-sac in the Radford Glen subdivision. Taylor Morrison\, which bought the lots from the developer\, wants relief from the maximum garage and front setbacks that the neighborhood's own rezoning conditions imposed.\n\nStaff say the ordinance already offers a way out. A 10 percent administrative modification\, or 24 inches\, whichever is greater\, can be granted without any variance at all\, and staff's position is that all three lots can meet both setbacks that way. The board hears the case as a quasi-judicial matter\, so witnesses are sworn and a variance needs a four-fifths concurring vote.\n\nAgenda: https://wake-forest.granicus.com/AgendaViewer.php?view_id=3&clip_id=1532\nWatch: https://wake-forest.granicus.com/ViewPublisher.php?view_id=3\nDetails: https://ncgovwatch.com/meetings/3403

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

SUMMARY:Town of Wake Forest: Board of Commissioners Work Session
DESCRIPTION:Board of Commissioners Work Session\n\nCommissioners get a presentation on a rezoning that has already drawn a unanimous no from the town's Planning Board. St. John Properties wants to rezone 30.35 acres on Star Road\, in the town's extraterritorial jurisdiction\, from Highway Business to a Highway Business Conditional District\, to build commercial\, office and light industrial space. The Planning Board voted 7-0 in February to find the plan inconsistent with the town's Community Plan and recommended denial\, and the applicant has not changed the plan since. The Board of Commissioners holds a public hearing on the case March 19.\n\nAlso on the agenda: a presentation on a watershed study for Toms Creek meant to guide future stormwater projects\, the monthly financial report showing general fund revenue at 70% of budget through January\, and a preview of the March 19 regular meeting agenda\, which also opens a public hearing on the FY 2024-2025 budget.\n\nAgenda: https://wake-forest.granicus.com/AgendaViewer.php?view_id=3&clip_id=1540\nWatch: https://wake-forest.granicus.com/ViewPublisher.php?view_id=3\nDetails: https://ncgovwatch.com/meetings/3452

SUMMARY:Town of Wake Forest: Board of Commissioners
DESCRIPTION:Board of Commissioners\n\nWake Forest's Board of Commissioners holds two public hearings this month. One is a rezoning of 30.35 acres at 0 Star Road for a project called Star Road Tech Center\; St. John Properties has filed to move the tract from Highway Business and Special Highway Overlay to Highway Business Conditional District and Special Highway Overlay. The board takes up a vote on the same case later in the meeting\, right after the hearing closes. The other hearing takes public input on the FY 2024-2025 annual operating budget\, the first of the budget season.\n\nThe Star Road case reaches this hearing with a staff recommendation against it. Staff told the planning board on 13 February that the plan is generally inconsistent with the town's Community Plan on five points\, among them a parking plan below the ordinance minimum and the applicant's refusal to build a backage road the Comprehensive Transportation Plan requires along the property's east side. Commissioners took a first look at their 5 March work session\, and the hearing was still open on 21 May\, when the board continued it and scheduled a vote for that meeting.\n\nThe consent agenda here carries a resolution certifying a contiguous annexation petition for 5.54 acres on Capital Blvd tied to a separate rezoning case\, an ordinance setting up a Housing Initiatives special revenue fund\, a street acceptance\, an ordinance codifying the town code's Supplement 17\, and two resolutions honoring a retiring senior police officer. The board also hears a downtown plan presentation from consultant Houseal Lavigne\, an update on the Flaherty Park Field #2 renovation\, and proclamations for Parkinson's Awareness Day and Vietnam War Veterans Day.\n\nAgenda: https://wake-forest.granicus.com/AgendaViewer.php?view_id=3&clip_id=1543\nWatch: https://wake-forest.granicus.com/ViewPublisher.php?view_id=3\nDetails: https://ncgovwatch.com/meetings/3364

SUMMARY:Town of Wake Forest: Planning Board Special "Called" Work Session
DESCRIPTION:Planning Board Special "Called" Work Session\n\nWake Forest's planning board called this work session for one reason: to hear a presentation from Houseal Lavigne\, the town's consultant on the Downtown Plan. The firm presents its draft Existing Conditions Memo and introduces a draft vision statement\, goals and functional subareas for downtown. The agenda carries no other business beyond adopting the agenda and adjourning.\n\nThe board's regular meetings fall on the second Tuesday of the month\; this one fell outside that schedule\, called specifically for the presentation.\n\nAgenda: https://wake-forest.granicus.com/AgendaViewer.php?view_id=3&clip_id=1546\nWatch: https://wake-forest.granicus.com/ViewPublisher.php?view_id=3\nDetails: https://ncgovwatch.com/meetings/3332

SUMMARY:Town of Wake Forest: Board of Adjustment
DESCRIPTION:Board of Adjustment\n\nWake Forest's Board of Adjustment returns to a setback variance for three lots on the Sun Meadow Drive cul-de-sac in Radford Glen\, case BOA-23-05\, continued from 15 February. The builder wants relief from the maximum garage and front setbacks that the neighborhood's own rezoning conditions imposed\, arguing the cul-de-sac's askew design and curved front property lines make them hard to meet.\n\nStaff analysis says two of the four findings a variance requires are not demonstrated. Exhibit 2\, prepared for this meeting\, shows both setbacks can be met on all three lots without any variance if the builder uses the 10 percent administrative modification the ordinance already allows\, and staff note the applicant's own car-template exhibits show vehicles clearing the sidewalk either way. A variance needs a four-fifths concurring vote under state law and the town's ordinance. The board's other item\, an appeal of a December notice of violation\, was tabled to 18 April at the appellant's request.\n\nAgenda: https://wake-forest.granicus.com/AgendaViewer.php?view_id=3&clip_id=1547\nWatch: https://wake-forest.granicus.com/ViewPublisher.php?view_id=3\nDetails: https://ncgovwatch.com/meetings/3455

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

SUMMARY:Town of Wake Forest: Board of Commissioners
DESCRIPTION:Board of Commissioners\n\nWake Forest commissioners are set to close a public hearing and adopt a bond order for $1\,460\,000 in parks and recreation bonds\, one piece of $22\,050\,000 in general obligation bonds the town plans to issue October 1. 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

SUMMARY:Town of Wake Forest: Planning Board
DESCRIPTION:Planning Board\n\nWake Forest's planning board takes up three rezoning cases at its September 10 meeting. TMTLA Associates wants 5.61 acres at 418 Jones Dairy Road switched from Light Industrial and Rural Holding to Neighborhood Business\, for a medical clinic\, restaurant and bar. Johnson Automotive wants 11.16 acres at Capital Boulevard and Burlington Mills Road rezoned for a Hyundai dealership.\n\nThe board also reviews a change to a 2023 rezoning at Reserve at Dunn Creek that would delay a required turn lane until Friendship Chapel Road opens to Holding Village. Staff recommends approval of all three as consistent with the town's Community Plan\; each still needs a public hearing before the Board of Commissioners decides.\n\nAgenda: https://wake-forest.granicus.com/AgendaViewer.php?view_id=3&clip_id=1669\nWatch: https://wake-forest.granicus.com/ViewPublisher.php?view_id=3\nDetails: https://ncgovwatch.com/meetings/3448

SUMMARY:Town of Wake Forest: Board of Commissioners Work Session
DESCRIPTION:Board of Commissioners Work Session\n\nTwo rezoning cases head to the Board of Commissioners for a first look before they reach a public hearing at the regular meeting. One would rezone 5.61 acres at 418 Jones Dairy Road from Light Industrial and Rural Holding to Neighborhood Business Conditional District for TMTLA Associates. The other would rezone 11.16 acres at 10012 Capital Boulevard and three Burlington Mills Road lots from Highway Business and General Residential to Highway Business Conditional District for a Hyundai dealership. The Planning Board recommended approval of both\, 7-0.\n\nThe board also gets its August financial report. The general fund has collected $4.2 million of a $86.9 million revenue budget\, 4.85%\, and spent $9.9 million against it\, with most of the year's property tax revenue not due until September 1. The rest of the agenda reviews the draft agenda for the next regular meeting.\n\nAgenda: https://wake-forest.granicus.com/AgendaViewer.php?view_id=3&clip_id=1685\nWatch: https://wake-forest.granicus.com/ViewPublisher.php?view_id=3\nDetails: https://ncgovwatch.com/meetings/3383

SUMMARY:Town of Wake Forest: Planning Board
DESCRIPTION:Planning Board\n\nWake Forest's Planning Board took public comment on two long-running planning documents: a rewrite touching every chapter of the town's Unified Development Ordinance\, and a new Downtown Plan replacing the 2017 Renaissance Plan. Consultant Houseal Lavigne has led the UDO rewrite since 2022\, covering zoning districts\, building design\, tree protection\, signage and subdivision standards\, after seven work sessions with the Planning Board and Board of Commissioners.\n\nThe Downtown Plan sets nine goals for downtown over the next 20 years\, including more housing options\, affordable housing incentives\, better walking and biking conditions\, and more greenspace. Both items go to a public hearing tentatively scheduled for November 19. The rest of the agenda covers minutes\, staff comments and board comments.\n\nAgenda: https://wake-forest.granicus.com/AgendaViewer.php?view_id=3&clip_id=1687\nWatch: https://wake-forest.granicus.com/ViewPublisher.php?view_id=3\nDetails: https://ncgovwatch.com/meetings/3451

SUMMARY:Town of Wake Forest: Board of Commissioners
DESCRIPTION:Board of Commissioners\n\nWake Forest's Board of Commissioners took up three land-use cases at its October 15 meeting\, each first as a public hearing\, then as a vote later on the same agenda. One rezoning would clear 5.61 acres at 418 Jones Dairy Road for a Neighborhood Business Conditional District\, replacing industrial and rural zoning. A second case would annex 26.86 acres at 10600 Star Road\, tied to a separate rezoning request for the same land. A third would rezone 11.16 acres across four parcels on Capital Boulevard and Burlington Mills Road\, from Highway Business and General Residential to a Highway Business Conditional District\, to allow a Hyundai dealership.\n\nThe board also planned to adopt a 2024 master plan for its Parks\, Recreation and Cultural Resources Department\, amend the town's parks and recreation impact fees\, accept a state Parks and Recreation Trust Fund grant for a skate park\, and appoint members to the Board of Adjustment and the Planning Board from candidates introduced earlier in the meeting.\n\nAgenda: https://wake-forest.granicus.com/AgendaViewer.php?view_id=3&clip_id=1689\nWatch: https://wake-forest.granicus.com/ViewPublisher.php?view_id=3\nDetails: https://ncgovwatch.com/meetings/3357

Commissioners will also see a revised 10-year Downtown Plan from consultant Houseal Lavigne\, built around nine goals that include preserving historic character and expanding housing options downtown\, which the planning board likewise recommended unanimously.\n\nStaff will also present a draft Special Events Policy with a sliding fee\, from $25 and 60 days' notice for a neighborhood event up to $100 and 180 days for a street festival or parade\, replacing rules last updated in 2018\, paired with the town's first Motorized Parade Policy setting safety and insurance rules for parade vehicles. Other business: an early look at a downtown social district and a multi-modal transportation impact fee study\, a $64\,800 town contribution toward a new gym floor at the Wake Forest Boys & Girls Club as part of a ten-year field-use agreement\, and the September financial report\, which shows the general fund $6.98 million in the red year to date on $89.1 million in budgeted revenue -- typical for the first quarter\, before most property tax revenue arrives in December.\n\nAgenda: https://wake-forest.granicus.com/AgendaViewer.php?view_id=3&clip_id=1696\nWatch: https://wake-forest.granicus.com/ViewPublisher.php?view_id=3\nDetails: https://ncgovwatch.com/meetings/3372

DESCRIPTION:Planning Board\n\nWake Forest's Planning Board takes public comment on CPA-24-03\, the county's five-year update to the Wake County Multi-Jurisdictional Hazard Mitigation Plan. FEMA has conditionally approved the plan\; every municipality in the county must adopt it before that approval becomes final. Staff recommend approval\, with a formal public hearing set for December 17.\n\nThe board also hears a presentation on a proposed multi-modal transportation impact fee\, a charge on new development that would fund transportation projects tied to growth. State law requires the board's comment before the Board of Commissioners can adopt the fee\, which goes to a public hearing November 19 and a commissioners' vote December 17. The board also sets its 2025 meeting schedule and reviews minutes from five earlier sessions.\n\nAgenda: https://wake-forest.granicus.com/AgendaViewer.php?view_id=3&clip_id=1700\nWatch: https://wake-forest.granicus.com/ViewPublisher.php?view_id=3\nDetails: https://ncgovwatch.com/meetings/3387

SUMMARY:Town of Wake Forest: Board of Commissioners
DESCRIPTION:Board of Commissioners\n\nWake Forest's commissioners held three public hearings on November 19\, 2024\, each on a document that shapes what gets built and who pays for it: an update to the multi-modal transportation impact fee\, the comprehensive rewrite of the Unified Development Ordinance under case TA-24-01\, and the revised draft downtown plan\, CPA-24-02\, in its November 5 version. The downtown plan came back for a vote the same night\; the UDO rewrite returned in December.\n\nThe board also committed $3.3 million toward the S-Line mobility hub as the local match for a federal RAISE grant\, took up a resolution amending parks and recreation impact fees\, and considered an updated special events policy alongside a new motorized parade policy. The consent agenda awarded three construction contracts\, for improvements at HL Miller Park\, replacement of the Dunn Creek culvert and the 2025 street resurfacing program\, and signed a ten-year joint use agreement with the Boys & Girls Club serving Wake County. It also adopted a resolution prohibiting viewing pornography on town networks and devices.\n\nAgenda: https://wake-forest.granicus.com/AgendaViewer.php?view_id=3&clip_id=1702\nWatch: https://wake-forest.granicus.com/ViewPublisher.php?view_id=3\nDetails: https://ncgovwatch.com/meetings/3338

SUMMARY:Town of Wake Forest: Board of Commissioners Work Session
DESCRIPTION:Board of Commissioners Work Session\n\nWake Forest's commissioners weighed committing $3\,300\,000 at their December 3\, 2024 work session\, the town's 20 percent share of a $16\,500\,000 mobility hub in downtown Wake Forest. The rest would come from a federal RAISE grant NCDOT is reapplying for after scoring well but missing out earlier in the year. The hub is an Amtrak station tied to the S-Line\, the federally designated passenger corridor NCDOT is planning stations along.\n\nThe town's two-month-old microtransit pilot also came up\, and its problem is success. Go Wake Forest launched October 1\, replacing the Wake Forest Loop fixed-route bus and the Go Raleigh Access paratransit service with door-to-door on-demand rides from Via\, priced against what the old services cost. Ridership rose faster than anyone expected\, and demand now exceeds the vehicles available\, leaving some riders unable to book. Via presented on performance and options\, and staff asked the board for direction. The board also saw the draft Wake County multi-jurisdictional hazard mitigation plan\, which the town must adopt to stay eligible for federal mitigation grants\, and reviewed October financial statements showing the general fund $8\,000\,626 in the red for the year to date.\n\nAgenda: https://wake-forest.granicus.com/AgendaViewer.php?view_id=3&clip_id=1704\nWatch: https://wake-forest.granicus.com/ViewPublisher.php?view_id=3\nDetails: https://ncgovwatch.com/meetings/3412

SUMMARY:Town of Wake Forest: Planning Board
DESCRIPTION:Planning Board\n\nWake Forest's planning board took up one case on December 10\, 2024\, and staff recommended turning it down. Case RZ-24-01 would rezone 55.93 acres at 0 Harris Road\, filed by Church Street Company\, from Rural Holding to three conditional districts at once: Neighborhood Mixed Use\, Open Space and Residential Mixed Use.\n\nStaff found the request generally inconsistent with the 2022 Community Plan and denial reasonable and in the public interest. The plan designates the property Neighborhood Commercial\, Transit-Supportive Residential and Residential Area Plan #2\, and asks that lower-intensity housing sit next to the existing detached homes on Wallridge Drive and Harris Point Way. The proposed Residential Mixed Use conditions would allow multifamily units\, townhomes and residential care facilities there. The traffic analysis attached to the case lists a long set of required improvements\, among them a westbound right-turn lane from Harris Road onto Capital Boulevard\, a two-way left turn lane on Harris Road\, turn lanes at two of the three site accesses\, and signal warrant studies at Harris Road's intersections with Wall Road and with Wallridge Road after each phase\, with a fee in lieu for the developer's share if a signal is warranted. The board also picked its chair and vice chair for 2025.\n\nAgenda: https://wake-forest.granicus.com/AgendaViewer.php?view_id=3&clip_id=1712\nWatch: https://wake-forest.granicus.com/ViewPublisher.php?view_id=3\nDetails: https://ncgovwatch.com/meetings/3423

Case TA-24-01 got a public hearing and then a vote the same night\, with the planning board's recommendation\, a plan consistency analysis and the public comments received on the draft all in the record.\n\nThree more hearings shared the evening. Commissioners heard comment on the five-year capital improvements plan for FY 2025-2030\, on the draft Wake County multi-jurisdictional hazard mitigation plan\, and on a request from the owners of the Dr. Charles Brewer House at 327 N. Main Street to have it designated a local historic landmark. The board also considered a multi-modal transportation impact fee resolution\, with two fee schedules drafted for it\, and a revised Go Wake Forest transit contract. Staff presented information on whether to pursue a social district downtown. The consent agenda added a firefighter position\, accepted a state cybersecurity grant\, and waived the open container ordinance for six Friday Night on White dates in 2025. The board closed in session on the price and terms of a real property acquisition.\n\nAgenda: https://wake-forest.granicus.com/AgendaViewer.php?view_id=3&clip_id=1714\nWatch: https://wake-forest.granicus.com/ViewPublisher.php?view_id=3\nDetails: https://ncgovwatch.com/meetings/3391

SUMMARY:Town of Wake Forest: Board of Commissioners Work Session
DESCRIPTION:Board of Commissioners Work Session\n\nThis work session covers two new micromobility ordinances and the start of budget season. The board will consider updates to its motorized-scooter and e-bike ordinance (adopted in January 2026) that add rider regulations and update enforcement and civil penalties\, plus a new companion ordinance letting officers impound e-bikes and other micromobility devices involved in unsafe or reckless riding. Budget Director Michelle Daniels will also walk the board through the proposed FY 2026-2027 operating budget\, the first of what is likely to be several budget discussions before adoption.\n\nThe rest of the agenda is routine: April's monthly financial report\, a preview of the June 16 regular meeting agenda\, and a closed session under attorney-client privilege. The board also plans to discuss how to fill a vacant commissioner seat.\n\nAgenda: https://wake-forest.granicus.com/AgendaViewer.php?view_id=3&clip_id=1990\nWatch: https://wake-forest.granicus.com/ViewPublisher.php?view_id=3\nDetails: https://ncgovwatch.com/meetings/1689

SUMMARY:Town of Wake Forest: Board of Adjustment
DESCRIPTION:Board of Adjustment\n\nWake Forest's Board of Adjustment holds a quasi-judicial public hearing on Franklin Street Townes LLC's appeal of a Notice of Violation issued in April 2024 over the Franklin Street Townes development at 0 Franklin Park Avenue. The 2015 special use permit for the 61-unit townhome development required a pool and clubhouse as open space amenities\, but the developer told the town in 2021 it did not intend to build them and never got the required approval to change the plan. The developer\, represented by Caroline Iafrate\, argues the violation notice is legally deficient\, that the town is applying requirements that don't exist\, and that a comparable development wasn't held to the same standard\, among eight separate claims. Staff's response walks through the case's decade-long history and recommends the board uphold the violation notice as issued.\n\nThe board also approves minutes from its May 21 meeting before taking up the case.\n\nAgenda: https://wake-forest.granicus.com/AgendaViewer.php?view_id=3&clip_id=2024\nWatch: https://wake-forest.granicus.com/ViewPublisher.php?view_id=3\nDetails: https://ncgovwatch.com/meetings/1688

SUMMARY:Town of Wake Forest: Board of Commissioners Work Session
DESCRIPTION:Board of Commissioners Work Session\n\nWake Forest's board takes three presentations on 1 September and votes on none of them. The one with money attached is Go Wake Forest: staff bring an update on fare collection and ask the board to consider expanding service. The town's Comprehensive Transportation Plan amendments come next\, filed as application CPA 26-01 and carrying a Planning Board recommendation\, and after that a set of event recommendations for 2027 and beyond.\n\nThe rest is the board's monthly rhythm: July's financial summaries\, and a look at the draft agenda for the 15 September regular meeting\, which is where anything decided here would actually be voted on. The published agenda lists each item's attachments rather than their contents\, so what staff will recommend on fares or on the transportation plan is not on this record.\n\nAgenda: https://wake-forest.granicus.com/AgendaViewer.php?view_id=3&clip_id=2030\nWatch: https://wake-forest.granicus.com/ViewPublisher.php?view_id=3\nDetails: https://ncgovwatch.com/meetings/2336

SUMMARY:Town of Wake Forest: Planning Board
DESCRIPTION:Planning Board\n\nOne case sits on the Wake Forest Planning Board's September 8 agenda\, and it turns on a pool that was never built. The board took public comment on RZ-24-03\, a request to rezone the 4.81-acre common area of the Franklin Street Townes development from Residential Mixed-Use to a conditional district\, and to recommend for or against it to the Board of Commissioners.\n\nThe sequence in the staff report runs like this. Commissioners approved a master plan for 108 apartments at the northeast corner of South Franklin Street and the 98 Bypass in February 2014\, with a pool and clubhouse in a central amenity area. A townhome plan replaced it in February 2015\, 61 units\, again with the pool and clubhouse. Construction drawings approved that November counted those amenities toward the development's required improved open space. In November 2021 the developer told planning staff it did not intend to build them. Because commissioners approved the original plan\, only commissioners can approve a change\, so the developer has filed this rezoning with a new master plan showing a 10-by-10-foot prefabricated canopy\, a playground and landscaping instead. Staff report that the proposal meets the ordinance's park space minimum\, 7\,140 square feet against 5\,776 required\, and take no position on approval. The public hearing before commissioners is set for October 6.\n\nAgenda: https://wake-forest.granicus.com/AgendaViewer.php?view_id=3&clip_id=2032\nWatch: https://wake-forest.granicus.com/ViewPublisher.php?view_id=3\nDetails: https://ncgovwatch.com/meetings/1701

SUMMARY:Town of Wake Forest: Board of Commissioners
DESCRIPTION:Board of Commissioners\n\nWake Forest's commissioners opened the budget season on Tuesday with a public hearing on what belongs in the five-year capital improvement plan for 2027 through 2032. Two more hearings followed: amendments to the town's comprehensive transportation plan\, which the Planning Board has already recommended\, and the annexation of 8.25 acres at 0 Devon Square Boulevard\, a parcel the town itself owns. The board voted on both the annexation and the transportation plan later in the same meeting.\n\nOn consent were a resolution to start the annexation of 16.38 acres at 4925 Unicon Drive for South Forest LLC\, construction engineering and inspection services for the Wake Forest reservoir\, a municipal agreement with NCDOT for construction money for phases 2 and 3 of the Smith Creek Greenway\, and authority for the town manager to start Sunday service on Go Wake Forest with a performance benchmark attached. The board also considered an age-friendly community strategic action plan\, took an update on S. Franklin Street through Holding Village\, and heard event recommendations for 2027. Seven proclamations opened the meeting\, among them PANS and PANDAS Awareness Month\, National Hispanic Heritage Month\, issued in English and Spanish\, and a resolution on Rosemary Pimentel's retirement.\n\nAgenda: https://wake-forest.granicus.com/AgendaViewer.php?view_id=3&clip_id=2036\nWatch: https://wake-forest.granicus.com/ViewPublisher.php?view_id=3\nDetails: https://ncgovwatch.com/meetings/3850

SUMMARY:Town of Wake Forest: Board of Adjustment
DESCRIPTION:Board of Adjustment\n\nWake Forest's Board of Adjustment signs the written order in the Franklin Street Townes case\, where a developer has declined to build a pool and clubhouse the town approved eleven years ago. The board heard the appeal on August 20 and voted 5-0 twice: once that the notice of violation was valid as issued\, and once to modify it so the violation stands until the Board of Commissioners approves the developer's proposed change. Thursday's item is the order recording those findings.\n\nThe development is 61 townhomes at 0 Franklin Park Avenue\, approved in February 2015 with a master plan that put the pool and clubhouse in phase one. Owners Caroline and Marc Iafrate told planning staff in November 2021 that they did not intend to build them\, citing cost\, insurance and resident feedback. The town issued the notice of violation in April 2024 and stayed enforcement while the owners sought a rezoning. Three neighbors spoke at the August hearing about how long the development has sat incomplete\; the board voted 5-0 that they had standing.\n\nAgenda: https://wake-forest.granicus.com/AgendaViewer.php?view_id=3&clip_id=2037\nWatch: https://wake-forest.granicus.com/ViewPublisher.php?view_id=3\nDetails: https://ncgovwatch.com/meetings/1705

DESCRIPTION:Board of Commissioners Work Session\n\nWake Forest commissioners hold a public hearing Tuesday on RZ-24-03\, a rezoning of the 4.81-acre common area in the Franklin Street Townes development at South Franklin Street and the 98 Bypass. The board approved the 61-home townhouse master plan in 2015 with a pool and clubhouse. In 2021 the developer told the town it would not build them. The rezoning would replace them with a 10-by-10-foot prefabricated canopy\, a playground and landscaping\, which staff say meets the ordinance's open space and park space minimums. The Planning Board found it consistent with the Community Plan and recommended approval 6-0 on 8 September. The board may vote the same night.\n\nThe board also considers applying for a $2\,996\,226 National Park Service grant toward renovating Ailey Young Park\, which would need a dollar-for-dollar match. The rest of the session covers the August financial report and the draft agenda for the 20 October regular meeting.\n\nAgenda: https://wake-forest.granicus.com/AgendaViewer.php?view_id=3&clip_id=2040\nWatch: https://wake-forest.granicus.com/ViewPublisher.php?view_id=3\nDetails: https://ncgovwatch.com/meetings/4712
