Apex planning board backs rezoning for 1211 Old Raleigh Road with condition limiting buildable lots to three
Summary
The planning board recommended approval of rezoning case 25CZ07 for 1211 Old Raleigh Road, but added a condition limiting density to three residential lots after residents raised flooding, pond/dam and runoff concerns; the recommendation advances to town council on Aug. 26.
The Apex Planning Board on Aug. 11 recommended that the Town Council approve rezoning case 25CZ07 (1211 Old Raleigh Road) — subject to an added condition that limits development to three residential lots — following hours of testimony from neighbors worried about flooding and dam safety.
Planning staff said the 6.4-acre parcel is currently zoned Residential-Agricultural and that the applicant is seeking Medium Density Conditional zoning consistent with the town’s 2045 land‑use map. Staff outlined the applicant’s offered conditions, including a density cap (3 units per acre in the application), reserving at least 30 percent of the gross parcel area as a resource conservation area (RCA), preserving existing ponds unless a dam‑safety evaluation requires changes, and dedicating right of way and frontage improvements along Old Raleigh Road. Staff recommended approval with those conditions.
