What's on this agenda

Wake Forest's Planning Board takes public comment on CPA-24-03, the county's five-year update to the Wake County Multi-Jurisdictional Hazard Mitigation Plan. FEMA has conditionally approved the plan; every municipality in the county must adopt it before that approval becomes final. Staff recommend approval, with a formal public hearing set for December 17.

The board also hears a presentation on a proposed multi-modal transportation impact fee, a charge on new development that would fund transportation projects tied to growth. State law requires the board's comment before the Board of Commissioners can adopt the fee, which goes to a public hearing November 19 and a commissioners' vote December 17. The board also sets its 2025 meeting schedule and reviews minutes from five earlier sessions.
