What's on this agenda

Morrisville's town council is set to adopt a Transit Oriented Development and Zoning Plan covering the TOD East, TOD West and TOD South subareas, after continuing the public hearing four times since it opened on September 12. A resolution before the council would replace the existing TOD East Subarea Plan with the new one and direct staff to draft text amendments to the Unified Development Ordinance's TOD zoning standards.

The consent agenda carries a third amendment to the town's memorandum of understanding with Wake County over a joint public works facility and solid waste convenience center at 414 Aviation Parkway, plus a new memorandum of understanding on fire protection and equipment sharing. The council will also get a briefing, ahead of a November 28 vote, on a capital project ordinance amendment that would add $4.5 million to the Crabtree Creek Nature Park construction budget, raising it to $6.8 million and drawing $1.26 million from the General Fund. Other business includes an FY2023 audit presentation, a fund balance presentation, three proclamations, a closed session on personnel, and a discussion of the 2024 meeting schedule.
