2026.08.10 Planning Board Meeting

The Town of Apex Planning Board held a meeting on August 10, 2026, primarily focused on land use and zoning matters. The board reviewed and approved a rezoning case (26Z05) for a 3.62-acre property on Olive Chapel Road, which included conditions such as a 70-foot undisturbed buffer, sidewalk installation, and a public sewer easement. The project involves subdividing the property into three lots, with infrastructure connections to existing sewer facilities. Additionally, the board considered and approved several amendments to the Unified Development Ordinance (UDO), including terminology updates from "accessory apartment" to "accessory dwelling unit" to align with state law, adjustments to pedestrian clearance requirements for temporary signs to comply with accessibility guidelines, and clarifications on application resubmission timelines. Motions to approve the rezoning and UDO amendments were passed unanimously.
