SUMMARY:Town of Wake Forest: Board of Commissioners Work Session
DESCRIPTION:Board of Commissioners Work Session\n\nCommissioners hear a revised draft of the Town's Community Plan and Future Land Use Map from consultant Houseal Lavigne\, meant to guide growth over the next 10 to 20 years. The draft rests on nine goals drawn from stakeholder meetings\, a community questionnaire and open houses\, among them expanding activity downtown\, adding safe pedestrian and transit connections\, and diversifying housing.\n\nThe board also gets an update on its stormwater infrastructure contract with Freese and Nichols\, which is close to finishing a criticality assessment of the Town's pipes and is drafting a utility fee to fund upkeep. A financial report shows year-to-date general fund revenue at 78.68% of a $61 million budget\, with ad valorem tax collections about $1.7 million ahead of last year. Commissioners preview the draft agenda for the April 19 regular meeting and discuss a proposed interlocal agreement letting Wake Forest adopt Wake County's Non-Discrimination Ordinance.\n\nAgenda: https://wake-forest.granicus.com/AgendaViewer.php?view_id=3&clip_id=1230\nWatch: https://wake-forest.granicus.com/ViewPublisher.php?view_id=3\nDetails: https://ncgovwatch.com/meetings/3447

SUMMARY:Town of Wake Forest: Board of Commissioners Work Session
DESCRIPTION:Board of Commissioners Work Session\n\nWake Forest commissioners take up a rezoning that has already lost once: the planning board voted 4-2 against a request from Carolina Land Design\, PLLC\, to rezone 7.7 acres on Forestville Road from Residential-30 to a mixed-use conditional district for townhomes\, even after finding it consistent with the town's 2009 plan.

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.

SUMMARY:Town of Wake Forest: Board of Commissioners Work Session
DESCRIPTION:Board of Commissioners Work Session\n\nWake Forest commissioners previewed a rezoning for 306 S. Allen Road\, a vacant 1958 residential care facility on 2.75 acres. GWP Developers LLC wants to convert the building into 31 apartments restricted to residents 62 and older\, ahead of a June 18 public hearing. The planning board recommended approval 7-0\, and the developer has since agreed to make all the units age-restricted with a minimum three-month lease.\n\nThe board also reviewed a rewrite of the nuisance ordinance\, last amended in 2022. The new version would let the engineering department abate flooding from broken stormwater devices\, define who maintains roadside vegetation\, and give property owners a path to reforest vacant lots. Commissioners took a second reading of an ordinance setting a curfew for minors during Friday Night on White events\, running 8 p.m. Friday to midnight the following night within the event boundaries. They also previewed the 2024-2025 budget and the town's April financial report.\n\nAgenda: https://wake-forest.granicus.com/AgendaViewer.php?view_id=3&clip_id=1623\nWatch: https://wake-forest.granicus.com/ViewPublisher.php?view_id=3\nDetails: https://ncgovwatch.com/meetings/3339

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: Board of Commissioners Work Session
DESCRIPTION:Board of Commissioners Work Session\n\nThe board takes up Wake Forest's rewrite of its Unified Development Ordinance for the first time since the planning board recommended it 7-0 on October 8\, with staff proposing further edits in response to public comment ahead of a public hearing set for November 19. 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

SUMMARY:Town of Wake Forest: Planning Board
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
DESCRIPTION:Board of Commissioners\n\nWake Forest commissioners took up a rewritten Unified Development Ordinance on December 17\, 2024\, the town's whole set of land use rules replaced at once. 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
DESCRIPTION:Board of Commissioners\n\nWake Forest's Board of Commissioners takes up its FY 2026-2027 budget ordinance June 16\, along with resolutions authorizing Wake and Franklin County tax administrators to levy and collect property taxes and stormwater fees for the town next fiscal year. The consent agenda also sets a public hearing on a contiguous annexation petition for 2.97 acres at 3832 Rogers Road\, filed by Donald Lee Eddins\, John Barry Eddins\, and Brenda Gail Eddins Denton -- the same parcel that a rezoning applicant later brought before the Planning Board in July. Two new ordinances would regulate electric bicycles\, scooters\, and other micromobility devices\, including impoundment authority and civil penalties.\n\nThe board also authorizes purchasing property needed for the future Ligon Mill Road corridor\, awards a construction contract for the Flaherty Park tennis courts and restrooms project\, accepts Raleigh/Wake Hospitality Tax funding for the town's skate park and JB Flaherty Park Phase II\, and recognizes Sergeant Cashwell's retirement with a resolution and a surplus declaration for his badge and service weapon. The board closes under G.S. 143-318.11(6). Only the agenda was available\, not minutes\, so no outcomes are recorded here.\n\nAgenda: https://wake-forest.granicus.com/AgendaViewer.php?view_id=3&clip_id=1995\nWatch: https://wake-forest.granicus.com/ViewPublisher.php?view_id=3\nDetails: https://ncgovwatch.com/meetings/1716

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
