Regular meeting

What's on this agenda

Two land-use public hearings anchor this meeting. Council considers consolidated annexation of the "Leigh Village Center" property into the city, paired with a rezoning from county Residential Suburban-20 to a Compact Suburban Design designation with a development plan, plus a utility extension agreement with Sylvan Leigh LLC. Council also continues a public hearing (from February 2) on a zoning map change for "Creekside Mixed Use," converting land from Residential Suburban designations to a Planned Development Residential district at a density of 8.346, with a utility extension agreement for Angier Investment LLC. A third public hearing takes comment on the draft FY2026-2027 Annual Action Plan for HUD housing and community development funding.

The consent agenda is heavy with year-end annual reports from boards and commissions (housing appeals, human relations, planning, historic preservation, open space and trails, cultural affairs, and more), plus several contracts: architectural design services for the Junction Road paratransit facility and Fay Street transportation renovation (up to about $2.49 million with contingency), a roundabout design amendment at Morreene Road and American Drive, electric bus charging equipment for GoDurham (up to about $4.85 million), and engineering services for an outfall and transmission main project (up to about $3.4 million with contingency). Council also authorizes condemnation of a construction easement for the Horton Road pedestrian project and a grant agreement amendment for an immigrant legal assistance program. A proclamation recognizes Bleeding Disorder Awareness Month.
