2020 Rezoning and Preliminary Development Plan (20-REZ-01)

On August 20, 2020, the Council approved several changes to Fenton’s zoning. There were no increases to the amount of floor area or number of dwelling units approved in the original rezoning. In general, the proposal includes the following minor changes to the zoning's Preliminary Development Plan: 

• Additional uses in selected building pods
• Adding vertical integration for two building pods
• Incorporating a drive-thru ATM adjacent to parking deck D-1
• Providing the option to remove building pod nine and replace it with an expanded footprint for parking deck D-3 if the façade is designed to look like a real building
• Increasing building height for four building pods up to a maximum of 12 stories

Some other proposed minor changes include clarifying the definition of “vertical integration,” increasing flexibility with the placement of retaining walls and landscaping along Cary Towne Boulevard, adding flexibility regarding the location of trash collections, and allowing gated parking for residences within parking decks.
