What's on this agenda

Wake Forest holds a public hearing on a conditional rezoning that would let 4Rivers build a self-storage facility on 2.64 acres at 0 Friendship Chapel Road, converting land zoned for housing to highway business use. The planning board voted 5-0 to recommend against the request, calling it inconsistent with the town's community plan.

Commissioners also consider borrowing up to $6.5 million for the first year of an $18 million street resurfacing program, and a resolution to put up $3.3 million in local money to match $13.2 million in federal funds for an S-Line rail mobility hub. A consent-agenda item would send just over $3 million to a developer for downtown streetscape work on N White Street and E Roosevelt Avenue, and the board takes up an annexation petition, a temporary parking ordinance, and appointments to two open planning board seats.
