Top issues during term (12)(Zoning)
Rezoning and annexation hearings on Goodwin Road, Jessie Commons and Veridea
Project fully funded by Wake County.
Data center land use regulation and decommissioning
Potential infrastructure and emergency service costs are undetermined and under review.
Community Readiness Plan implementation projects
Specific costs weren't listed, but many projects — like an innovation fund and housing funding sources — could carry future budget implications.
Apex Baptist Church parking deck rezoning
The church said it would pay for the deck itself at no cost to taxpayers, but neighbors worry about property values and downtown business vitality either way.
One-Year Data Center Moratorium
No direct cost to residents; the pause shapes how future large power users would pay for infrastructure.
Horton Park PUD amendment (Rezoning 25CZ23)
Developer funds the new traffic signal and road connections; no town cost identified.
UDO temporary turnaround amendments
Castleberry Road rezoning and rural edge
Growth brings tax base, but infrastructure and services must keep pace or costs shift to existing residents.
UDO amendments on temporary street turnarounds
The fee-in-lieu mechanism would fund future conversion or removal of temporary turnarounds.
Community Input Structure for Data Center Policy
Unknown until the EAB reports back; a new committee would cost staff time to organize and support.
Data center noise and enforceability of standards
Data Center Moratorium
No direct cost to residents; the pause shapes how future large power users would pay for infrastructure.
