Public Planning & Zoning agendas from 23 Raleigh–Durham municipalities, read as each packet is captured. We extract the cases our reader supports; coverage and field completeness vary by city and packet. Alerts follow the processing of a matching case. Coverage →
Notice rarely reaches you. Where a city mails notice, it usually goes only to owners within a set distance of the site — often a few hundred feet, though the rule varies by state and city. Own land across the road or sit under contract nearby and you may be outside it, with no letter on the way.
The window can be short. Many cities post agendas close to their legal minimum, so a case can be filed, heard and decided between two weekly portal checks. Among the cases we processed before their hearing, the median advance notice is 2 days — a median across that population, not a promise for every case or city.
What that looks like: land going multi-family a block from your next closing; a neighbour assembling next to your holdings; a staff report recommending denial on a tract you’d buy at the right basis; a specific-use permit on the corner your listing faces.
First observation, hearing scheduled, continued, advanced from Planning & Zoning to Council — each stage as we observe it on the agendas.
We flag cases where the packet’s staff recommendation is denial, or that keep being continued. A switch sends you only those. That is a staff recommendation or a scheduling signal, not an official denial: we read agendas, not votes.
Add properties you own or have under contract and pick a radius. Anything filed near one is reported with its distance and the property it’s next to — whether or not it matches your keywords. Cities mail notice only to owners within a short statutory distance of a site, which varies by state; our default ring is 1,000 feet.
This replaces checking dozens of portals by hand and reading packets that run to hundreds of pages; a match reaches you as a short email once the captured packet is processed. Packets beyond our size limits are read as a bounded prefix.

Builders and development companies, brokers, land acquisition and assemblage teams, civil engineers and planners — and anyone following planning and zoning.
Rezonings and SUPs with acreage, requested zoning and petitioner as the packets list them, when the packet is captured — not when the sign goes up. A proposal is not an approval, and a staff recommendation is not a vote.
Know what’s moving around the property: case numbers, hearing dates, staff recommendations where stated.
Filings, what each city’s staff recommends, and how long items sit between stages. Outcomes are decided in minutes we don’t collect, so we won’t tell you what passed. Pull the same data by API and MCP.
Data centers are the largest land, power and construction decisions most cities will see this decade, and they surface first in the same public record as every other project: a rezoning or specific-use request, a site plan, a substation or transmission item on the agenda. P&Z Radar reads those filings and records each project’s stage and next public decision as the packets state them, linked to the packet.
The result: a searchable record of proposed campuses by metro — who is filing, where, what is requested, the staff recommendation where the packet states one, and when the commission and council meet — reviewed before publication. Track the projects that matter to you and get a short brief when something changes.
For site selectors, utilities and suppliers, brokers and land teams, and local officials. A filing is a proposal until the commission votes and the site is permitted and built; we say what the record says and no more.
