SUMMARY:Durham County: Work Session
DESCRIPTION:Board of County Commissioners\n\nDurham County's commissioners set aside 290 minutes for discussion at their 5 January work session\, and the two largest blocks were both about the rules for building in the county: an hour on the new Unified Development Ordinance being written by consultants to carry out the 2023 comprehensive plan\, and half an hour on a narrower text amendment that would loosen the rules for parking recreational vehicles in residential districts. Neither was an adoption. A work session is where the board comments and gives direction.\n\nThe item with a deadline behind it was the emergency services fleet maintenance shop. The county has leased space at 122 Stone Park Court since 2016\; the railroad bought that property in 2023 and it is to be demolished for a rail realignment\, so the county must vacate by 1 May 2026. The board was asked to suspend its rules and let the manager sign a lease at 1129 E Geer Street rather than wait for another meeting. Staff also gave notice that the homeless day shelter contract will go to Urban Ministries of Durham\, with the scope and budget still to be settled\, and took an hour on how the county's child welfare system works.\n\nAgenda: https://durhamcounty.granicus.com/AgendaViewer.php?view_id=3&clip_id=1522\nWatch: https://durhamcounty.granicus.com/ViewPublisher.php?view_id=3\nDetails: https://ncgovwatch.com/meetings/1555

SUMMARY:Durham County: Regular Session

SUMMARY:Durham County: Work Session
DESCRIPTION:Board of County Commissioners\n\nDurham County commissioners' March 2 work session took comment on an annexation request for a 69.16-acre tract at 4802 Cheek Road\, where developer Humabuilt wants to shift from county Residential Rural zoning to city Planned Development Residential to connect to city water and sewer and build up to 190 homes\, mixing townhouses and single-family units.
