Planning board recommends rezoning for quadplex at 708 South Fayway Avenue with architectural conditions
Summary
The board recommended approval of a rezoning request to allow a quadplex at 708 South Fayway Avenue (0.43 acres) with additional conditions on porches, glazing, and facade materials to reduce building massing and fit neighborhood context; the applicant said he will meet staff to resolve outstanding layout concerns.
The Fuquay Varina Planning Board recommended approval of a rezoning request for 0.43 acres at 708 South Fayway Avenue to allow a quadplex in the Town Center Residential district, subject to additional architectural conditions.
What staff said: Planning staff presented the request and recommended approval with conditions intended to align the proposed quadplex with the surrounding neighborhood. Suggested conditions include covered porches for all units, glazing, transoms, sidelights at entrances, and at least two facade materials on the front elevation to reduce perceived mass.
Applicant response: Wayne Maldin of Molden Watkins Survey, representing the petitioner, said he has revised the building layout several times and planned a May 5 meeting with staff to address outstanding concerns. "We have changed it about three times," he said, adding the team wants to "do whatever we need to" to satisfy staff.
Board action: The board closed the public hearing after the applicant's remarks, moved to recommend approval of REZ 202602 with the additional architectural conditions, and the motion carried.
What’s next: Staff recorded the agenda abstract and supporting documents into the official record and will forward the planning boardrecommendation to the Town Board for its public hearing and final decision.
