# Raleigh Planning Commission Meeting - Tuesday, October 13, 2026


**Body:** City of Raleigh
**Date:** October 12, 2026
**Jurisdiction:** SLED

The Raleigh Planning Commission’s regular meeting on October 13, 2026, included approval of the prior meeting minutes and three conditional-use rezoning recommendations. Case Z2326, at 717–735 Chappell Drive, was approved 6–0 to rezone about 1.71 acres for up to 160 residential units. Conditions include an affordable-housing option—two units or an $80,000 contribution if 160 units are built—and advance tenant notice before demolition. Case Z2526, at Ash and Wakefield avenues, was approved unanimously, with a recommendation to amend the Future Land Use Map from medium-scale residential to neighborhood mixed use; the applicant described a potential small coffee shop or bakery on the vacant parcel, while the existing houses are to remain. Case Z3226, at 2512 Prince Drive, was approved unanimously to allow up to two principal dwelling units on the 0.89-acre site.

The discussion focused on land use, housing capacity, affordability conditions, transit access, parking, and site constraints. No government contract awards, procurement decisions, or public spending allocations were identified; the affordable-housing contribution is a condition available to the private applicant, not a commission expenditure approval.
