This conditional use rezoning request would allow for the possibility of increased residential density and building heights. The request would rezone the 1.71-acre site (see addresses above) from R-10 w/ SRPOD and RX-3-UL-CU w/ SRPOD to RX-5-UL-CU w/ SRPOD. Proposed conditions with this request would limit dwelling unit density to 280 units or less. Additionally, 1% of all developed units would either be designated as affordable at 60% of the Area Median Income (AMI) for 10 years, or instead, the applicant could choose to contribute $40,000 to the City of Raleigh’s Affordable Housing Program for each unit on the site that would be affordable at 60% AMI. Those contributions to the Affordable Housing Program would support the creation of affordable housing elsewhere in the city. Additionally, there would be 120-day notice to current tenants prior to any demolition that occurred at the site.
