Transitions

Question title

7. Should buildings in General areas be taller than Edge areas but not as tall as Core/Transit areas?

Current policy provides height guidance based on three types of areas:

1. Edge areas are located within 150 feet of a residential area and would generally contain buildings of no more than 3- or 4-stories.

2. Core or Transit areas are located within the core of a mixed-use center or near high-frequency transit, for example downtown and along Capital Boulevard north of downtown, and could contain taller buildings between 5 to 20 stories.

3. General areas refer to all other locations.

Yes - this makes sense.
54%
No - this is too restrictive.
27%
No - this allows too much height.

8. Do you agree with the following recommendation?

The draft Comprehensive Plan Update proposes to split the height allowance for properties that are part of multiple transition areas (Edge area 3-4 stories, Core/Transit 5-20 stories), allowing a building taller than in an Edge area, but shorter than in a Core/Transit area, as long as the height transitions down to the residential neighborhood.

For instance, a new building along South Saunders Street might be 5 stories along the transit route, as long as it is no more than 3 stories if it's adjacent to the neighborhood.

No - we should be encouraging additional height along these corridors to take advantage of transit investments, create more lively places, and provide more housing opportunities.
38%
Makes sense, split the difference.
34%
No - if it’s that close to a neighborhood, height should be kept to a minimum above existing homes.

9. Should taller buildings be required to gradually increase in height away from the residential property? Please choose one.

9. Should taller buildings be required to gradually increase in height away from the residential property? Please choose one.

For example, a new 100-foot-tall building, must locate most of the building height 60 feet away from the residential property, with the shorter part of the building closest to the residential property. (See diagram below)

Yes - this sounds reasonable.

No - this is too restrictive.

10. Which statement below best captures your views regarding infill houses?

Many public meeting attendees requested that the Comprehensive Plan have stronger policies on the height and size of new houses in established neighborhoods.

New houses should more closely match the height and setbacks of nearby houses.
47%
New houses can be taller than adjacent houses, but this additional height should require greater setbacks from the property line.
28%
Standards for house height and setback should be the same for all lots in the zoning district, regardless of the height and setback of nearby houses.

Transportation

Question title

13. What priorities are most important to implementing recommendations of the Wake County Transit Plan?

The plan calls for a network of frequent bus routes, a rail line from Raleigh to Durham and Garner, and a bus rapid transit network that would provide much faster bus service along key corridors.
