GoRaleigh Bus System, now and the future

Proposed TOD Overlay Map has been published for Western and Southern routes. Online evening meetings will be on 11/16 and 11/30.

The areas in purple would be proactively rezoned by the city (sometime in mid-2022) into the -TOD overlay, with reduced parking standards, higher allowable density (e.g., 4-story apartments allowed on any lot, of any size, in any base zone), and an affordable housing bonus density provision. Properties within the gray corridors but not in purple would still be eligible to petition for a rezoning on their own for the -TOD overlay. A similar process may follow for the -TOD-R overlay, which has not yet been created yet.

Also, a pretty minor comprehensive plan amendment incorporating the Western Blvd report suggestions is headed to the Planning Commission now.
