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: Board of Commissioners Work Session
DESCRIPTION:Board of Commissioners Work Session\n\nThe Wake Forest Board of Commissioners could commit $3.3 million toward a federal rail grant. The money would be the town's 20% match for a RAISE grant to build a train station and mobility hub on the S-Line corridor. Together with $13.2 million in federal funds\, the project would total $16.5 million for final design\, land acquisition and construction. Commissioners also consider a $944\,000 contract with Berry Building Group to renovate Flaherty Park Field #2\, the lower of two bids received in January.\n\nThe board also gets a five-year update on the town's Capital Improvements Plan\, results of Wake County's revaluation of assessed property\, and December's monthly financial report. Staff will brief commissioners on NCDOT road projects underway in town and preview the agenda for the February 20 regular meeting. The board meets in closed session under N.C.G.S. § 143-318.11(a)(5).\n\nAgenda: https://wake-forest.granicus.com/AgendaViewer.php?view_id=3&clip_id=1505\nWatch: https://wake-forest.granicus.com/ViewPublisher.php?view_id=3\nDetails: https://ncgovwatch.com/meetings/3365

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
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

DESCRIPTION:Board of Commissioners\n\nWake Forest commissioners will hold a public hearing on a 5.54-acre annexation petition tied to rezoning case RZ-22-07\, covering two parcels on Capital Boulevard owned by Elizabeth Hunt Holding and SW Capital LLC. A second annexation petition\, 9.55 acres on Burlington Mills Road and Ligon Mill Road filed by the Eunice M. Rogers heirs and linked to rezoning RZ-22-09\, is up only to set its own public hearing and certify the petition sufficient.\n\nThe consent agenda carries nine items: a third budget amendment for the current fiscal year\, an installment purchase agreement to finance FY24 vehicles and equipment\, a five-year renewal of the town's audit contract with Cherry Bekaert LLP\, and a construction award to Morgan Corp. for dam improvements at J.B. Flaherty Park.

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.

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

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

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.

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: 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.
