What's on this agenda

Cary's planning and zoning board did not meet on January 26; the meeting was cancelled. The two rezonings it would have taken were heard on February 23 instead.

One was the Pittard Sears Road case: annexing about 12.61 acres at 606 and 694 Pittard Sears Road plus an unaddressed parcel, and rezoning from Chatham County Residential 1 to Cary Residential 8 Conditional Use with the Jordan Lake watershed overlay. Conditions cap it at 23 detached houses, require wiring for electric vehicle charging in every garage, and require a pedestrian crossing over Pittard Sears Road.

Summarized from the published agenda. Read the agenda itself before acting on it.

Meeting recap

What happened, drawn from the records published after the meeting.

The second case would have been a rezoning of about 3.31 acres at 8732 Green Level Church Road, from Residential 40 to Residential 12 Conditional Use, limited to detached houses at 1.9 dwelling units per acre, keeping the existing conservation residential overlay and the Jordan Lake watershed overlay.

Both went to the board on February 23. Pittard Sears was found consistent with the comprehensive plan 8-1 and Green Level Church Road unanimously. The town council approved both on March 26.
