What's on this agenda

Wake 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.

The 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.
