Zoning change for Glenwood-Brooklyn – hearing Tuesday March 3

Feb 272015
 

Remapping Raleigh UDO rezoning

Next Tuesday, the Raleigh Planning Commission will discuss the remapping of the Glenwood-Brooklyn neighborhood for the third time. The first meeting was very limited, since the remapping team asked for a deferral so it could discuss some issues with the Planning Staff. The second meeting was primarily an informational meeting for the Planning Commission. Tuesday’s meeting could be very important. You can help by attending the meeting or contacting the Planning Commission.

The Planning Commission meets in the City Council Chamber on the 2nd floor of the Municipal Building, which is located at 222 West Hargett Street. The meeting starts at 9:00 AM. The meeting is televised live on RTN.

Raleigh Downtown Living Advocates

The DLA is a citizen group, focused on issues of interest to residents of Downtown Raleigh. The group was formed in February of 2009 by a group of residents motivated by a desire to lend their voices to shaping the growth and character of Downtown Raleigh.
Our mission is to be an organized voice for Downtown residents, working together with city agencies, concerned institutions and local businesses in supporting balanced and sustainable growth for Raleigh.

We are people who live, work or play in the Downtown area and share a passion for our city. Our intention is to play an active role in helping our Downtown neighborhoods be the most livable and attractive they can be, both for us and future residents.

Benefits of becoming a member include creating fellowship with neighbors, sustaining the organization as a force in the shaping of downtown redevelopment, and establishing the DLA presence in the broader community.

And membership is free. DLA has a monthly mixer, held at a different downtown food and drink establishment each time.

We’ll have the DLA Monthly Mixers on our Events Calendar here as well.
