The request would rezone approximately 1.85 acres of land from Office Mixed Use, 3 Stories, with Neighborhood Conservation Overlay District (OX-3 w/NCOD) to Office Mixed Use, 4 Stories, Conditional Use (OX-4-CU). This rezoning would permit additional building height and remove the existing Neighborhood Conservation Overlay District (NCOD). The proposed conditions would prohibit several uses that are otherwise permitted in the OX- district, including cemeteries; outdoor sports or entertainment facilities (regardless of size); parking facilities; sports academies; detention centers, jails, or prisons; check cashing or payday loan establishments; tattoo parlors; taxidermists; and wedding chapels. The conditions would also require the property owner to document the existing building at 831 Wake Forest Road - such as through photographs and measurements - and submit that documentation to the Raleigh Historic Development Commission (RHDC) and the State Archives of North Carolina before applying for any building permit that would affect the structure.
Existing Zoning: Office Mixed Use, 3 Stories, with Neighborhood Conservation Overlay District – Mordecai 2 (OX-3 w/NCOD).
Proposed Zoning: Office Mixed Use, 4 Stories, Conditional Use (OX-4-CU). View proposed conditions here.
