Commissioners also discuss a service contract recommending Republic Services of North Carolina for residential trash and recycling collection\, and an amended resolution to buy an additional 0.29 acres downtown for $107\,073 as part of the town's redevelopment of the former SunTrust building site.\n\nAgenda: https://wake-forest.granicus.com/AgendaViewer.php?view_id=3&clip_id=1342\nWatch: https://wake-forest.granicus.com/ViewPublisher.php?view_id=3\nDetails: https://ncgovwatch.com/meetings/3392

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

DESCRIPTION:Board of Commissioners Work Session\n\nWake Forest's Board of Commissioners previews three rezoning cases and a land disposition program at this work session\, along with an NCDOT briefing on the Capital Boulevard North widening (U-5307).

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

As a work session item it is a presentation rather than a vote\; the case would come back for a public hearing before the board acts on it.\n\nThe rest of the agenda is informational.

SUMMARY:Town of Wake Forest: Board of Commissioners
DESCRIPTION:Board of Commissioners\n\nThe board will consider two annexation petitions covering nearly 90 acres combined. Morris Wake Forest LLC petitioned to annex four parcels on N Main Street totaling about 22.9 acres\, tied to the Morris Subdivision. High Bar Creek LLC\, Huggy Bear LLC and the Nancy H. Dameron Trust petitioned to annex four parcels off Friendship Chapel Road and NC 98 Bypass totaling about 67.4 acres\, tied to the Reserve at Dunn Creek Subdivision rezoning request RZ-22-05. Both petitions come as consent-agenda resolutions to schedule a public hearing and certify sufficiency\, not a vote on annexation itself.\n\nA rezoning and contiguous annexation case for the Rogers Road Townhomes (Darch Property) at 0 Rogers Road\, listed under both Public Hearings and Planning Items\, has been withdrawn by the applicant. The board will also proclaim Falls Prevention Awareness Week and Day\, appoint a new member to the Parks\, Recreation and Cultural Resources Advisory Board\, and vote on amended personnel policies on the consent agenda.\n\nAgenda: https://wake-forest.granicus.com/AgendaViewer.php?view_id=3&clip_id=1401\nWatch: https://wake-forest.granicus.com/ViewPublisher.php?view_id=3\nDetails: https://ncgovwatch.com/meetings/3340

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: Board of Commissioners
DESCRIPTION:Board of Commissioners\n\nCommissioners hold four public hearings: the town's five-year Capital Improvement Plan for 2024-2029 and two rezoning cases\, one paired with a contiguous annexation. RZ-23-07 would rezone a 1.008-acre tract at 200 Stephen Taylor Road from Franklin County's Residential 30 to the town's General Residential 3\, with a companion petition to annex the same land into Wake Forest. RZ-23-08\, a conditional rezoning for the Farm Road Townhomes project\, would rezone 3.06 acres across six parcels on Farm Ridge Road and Farm Road from General Residential 3 to General Residential 10 and Neighborhood Business conditional districts.\n\nThe consent agenda carries a second annexation matter\, scheduling a hearing on 3.008 acres at 1950 Friendship Chapel Road\, plus a resolution backing NCDOT's abandonment of part of Averette Road's right-of-way\, participation in the 2023 State and Local Cybersecurity Grant Program\, an alcohol ordinance waiver for the 2024 Friday Night on White series\, and committee appointments for 2024-2025.

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 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: 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

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.

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

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

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
