RCMP-0261 — Mixed-use development with up to 725 dwelling units, 175,000 SF office, and 65,000 SF retail, subject to conditional use restrictions in Raleigh, NC
This 31.58-acre rezoning near the RDU Airport changes the zoning from restricted industrial and rural residential to a mixed-use district allowing up to 725 dwelling units plus office and retail. The proposal removes airport noise overlay protections (AOD) and requires noise-reduction conditions for residential units, avigation easements, and includes development intensity caps limiting uses through alternative scenarios. The case involves significant community opposition regarding traffic impacts on narrow Leesville Road, school capacity, and compatibility with surrounding single-family residential areas.
