What's on this agenda

Commissioners hold four public hearings: the town's five-year Capital Improvement Plan for 2024-2029 and two rezoning cases, one paired with a contiguous annexation. RZ-23-07 would rezone a 1.008-acre tract at 200 Stephen Taylor Road from Franklin County's Residential 30 to the town's General Residential 3, with a companion petition to annex the same land into Wake Forest. RZ-23-08, a conditional rezoning for the Farm Road Townhomes project, would rezone 3.06 acres across six parcels on Farm Ridge Road and Farm Road from General Residential 3 to General Residential 10 and Neighborhood Business conditional districts.

The consent agenda carries a second annexation matter, scheduling a hearing on 3.008 acres at 1950 Friendship Chapel Road, plus a resolution backing NCDOT's abandonment of part of Averette Road's right-of-way, participation in the 2023 State and Local Cybersecurity Grant Program, an alcohol ordinance waiver for the 2024 Friday Night on White series, and committee appointments for 2024-2025. The board also plans resolutions honoring the Wake Forest Garden Club's 100th anniversary and Lieutenant Trent Gamber's retirement.
