What's on this agenda

Wake Forest's Board of Commissioners holds two public hearings this month. One is a rezoning of 30.35 acres at 0 Star Road for a project called Star Road Tech Center; St. John Properties has filed to move the tract from Highway Business and Special Highway Overlay to Highway Business Conditional District and Special Highway Overlay. The board takes up a vote on the same case later in the meeting, right after the hearing closes. The other hearing takes public input on the FY 2024-2025 annual operating budget, the first of the budget season.

The Star Road case reaches this hearing with a staff recommendation against it. Staff told the planning board on 13 February that the plan is generally inconsistent with the town's Community Plan on five points, among them a parking plan below the ordinance minimum and the applicant's refusal to build a backage road the Comprehensive Transportation Plan requires along the property's east side. Commissioners took a first look at their 5 March work session, and the hearing was still open on 21 May, when the board continued it and scheduled a vote for that meeting.

The consent agenda here carries a resolution certifying a contiguous annexation petition for 5.54 acres on Capital Blvd tied to a separate rezoning case, an ordinance setting up a Housing Initiatives special revenue fund, a street acceptance, an ordinance codifying the town code's Supplement 17, and two resolutions honoring a retiring senior police officer. The board also hears a downtown plan presentation from consultant Houseal Lavigne, an update on the Flaherty Park Field #2 renovation, and proclamations for Parkinson's Awareness Day and Vietnam War Veterans Day.
