What's on this agenda

The Chapel Hill Planning Commission's April 21 agenda has one land-use case. It would recommend that the town council raise the approved height limit for the Old Chapel Hill Road Apartments at 11 White Oak Drive. The developer, ZOM Living, wants the cap moved from 62 feet to 69.5 feet, saying the original height was measured incorrectly. The commission also has eight applications in front of it for a vacant seat on the board.
