What's on this agenda

Wake Forest's Planning Board takes up a rezoning that would turn a vacant, decade-old residential care building at 306 S. Allen Road into 31 apartments, with at least seven set aside for residents 55 and older. GWP Developers wants to shift the 2.75-acre site from General Residential 5 to a Residential Mixed-Use Conditional District so it can renovate the existing one-story structure rather than tear it down. This meeting is a public comment session, not the public hearing; staff have tentatively scheduled that for the Board of Commissioners on June 18.

Town staff call the request generally consistent with the Community Plan, which calls for senior-oriented redevelopment near downtown on this site, and recommend approval. The board also reviews a proposed update to its 2024 meeting schedule.
