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 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: Planning Board
DESCRIPTION:Planning Board\n\nThe Wake Forest Planning Board considers two rezoning cases at its October meeting. WakeMed wants to rezone 14.41 acres at 0 Siena Drive and 0 Dr. Calvin Jones Highway. The case would shift the site from Conditional Use Neighborhood Business to Neighborhood Business Conditional District. FLM Engineering filed a second rezoning\, for the Morris Subdivision case on N. Main Street. It would take 22.95 acres from Rural Holding District and General Residential 3 to General Residential 10 Conditional District.\n\nThe board also hears an introduction to the Wake Forest Public Transit Plan from consultant Toole Design Group and takes up its September minutes.\n\nAgenda: https://wake-forest.granicus.com/AgendaViewer.php?view_id=3&clip_id=1279\nWatch: https://wake-forest.granicus.com/ViewPublisher.php?view_id=3\nDetails: https://ncgovwatch.com/meetings/3347

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: Planning Board
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 Work Session
DESCRIPTION:Board of Commissioners Work Session\n\nThe board reviews a $3\,075\,610.71 reimbursement agreement with developer Alliance Group of NC for downtown streetscape work on N White Street and E Roosevelt Avenue\, and a staff proposal to raise fire impact fees on new construction to $780 per single-family home and $681 per multi-family unit. Planners recommend the board deny a rezoning request from Franklin Village LLC for a 110\,500-square-foot self-storage building at 0 Friendship Chapel Road\; the Planning Board voted 5-0 that it does not fit the Community Plan.\n\nOther items cover a draft ordinance banning smoking and vaping in town buildings\, vehicles and grounds\; a draft public transit plan with recommendations to add earlier bus service and cut wait times\; the Public Art Commission's 2023 art plan\; continued work on rewriting the town's development ordinance\; and a look at the draft agenda for the September 19 regular meeting\, which includes hearings on two annexation petitions.\n\nAgenda: https://wake-forest.granicus.com/AgendaViewer.php?view_id=3&clip_id=1406\nWatch: https://wake-forest.granicus.com/ViewPublisher.php?view_id=3\nDetails: https://ncgovwatch.com/meetings/3416

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. The planning board voted 5-0 to recommend against the request\, calling it inconsistent with the town's community plan.\n\nCommissioners also consider borrowing up to $6.5 million for the first year of an $18 million street resurfacing program\, and a resolution to put up $3.3 million in local money to match $13.2 million in federal funds for an S-Line rail mobility hub. A consent-agenda item would send just over $3 million to a developer for downtown streetscape work on N White Street and E Roosevelt Avenue\, and the board takes up an annexation petition\, a temporary parking ordinance\, and appointments to two open planning board seats.\n\nAgenda: https://wake-forest.granicus.com/AgendaViewer.php?view_id=3&clip_id=1413\nWatch: https://wake-forest.granicus.com/ViewPublisher.php?view_id=3\nDetails: https://ncgovwatch.com/meetings/3445

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.

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 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

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 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: 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.
