The Raleigh Planning Commission met on May 13, 2025, to review case TCZ-51-24 for a zoning text change at 9308 Fairbanks Drive involving approximately 2.67 acres. The proposed amendments would prohibit certain uses (schools, telecommunication towers, fuel sales, detention centers, etc.), limit dwelling units to 60, and cap office and retail uses at 65,000 square feet each, while removing previous conditions on stormwater controls, height limits, and tree preservation.
