City/County Planning Board Meeting September 10, 2026

The City/County Planning Board of Winston-Salem held a meeting on September 10, 2026, focusing primarily on zoning and land use cases. Key procurement-related discussions included several rezoning requests and development proposals. Notably, the board reviewed and recommended approval for a self-storage facility proposed by State Employees Credit Union, emphasizing its low traffic impact and architectural design. Another significant case involved Pine State Development LLC's request to rezone 167 acres from general industrial to RS15 residential zoning, a downzoning aimed at accommodating moderate-density housing. This proposal included discussions on infrastructure, traffic concerns, and stormwater management, with the board ultimately recommending approval. The meeting also covered multifamily residential developments and institutional uses, with staff and developers presenting site plans and community engagement efforts. Votes were taken to recommend approval of multiple zoning cases, with some opposition voiced regarding traffic and neighborhood impact. Additionally, the board discussed upcoming text amendments related to parking requirements and new use standards, indicating ongoing policy updates that could affect future development and procurement activities.
