REZONING REQUEST

Analysis:  The Town of Cary is currently discussing expansion of the Town Hall Campus. This expansion involves additional property of which a portion of this tract is included.  The Planning Department was contacted to initiate rezoning of this tract in order to comply with the Town Hall Campus plan.  This request is to change the existing zoning from Residential-8 to Office & Institutional.  The zoning change results in inconsistency with the new Town Center Area Plan.

Recommendation:  Staff recommends approval.

 

PLANNING & ZONING BOARD RECOMMENDATION

Board voted unanimously to forward to Council for approval at their September 13, 2001 meeting.

TOWN COUNCIL RECOMMENDATION

Council voted unanimously to approve.
