Zoning and Density

Looks like the map is out:

This is a Big Deal - it would raise density limits to allow 5X as many units as were previously allowed just a few years ago, and in a lot of the most exclusionary parts of town.
The city pays millions of dollars a year to run buses down these corridors, and therefore has an interest in allowing as many people as possible to benefit from that taxpayer-funded service.

Looks to be a half-mile buffer around the BRT corridors plus (to just outside 440) Glenwood, Oberlin-Lassiter Mill, Six Forks, Capital, Glascock, MLK, Garner, Avent Ferry-Gorman, and a “Beltline” from Blue Ridge through St. Albans to Highwoods to Lake Woodard… the areas within dashed lines
