RCAC Members, It seems that we are down to 2 options for the Neighborhood Recognition Awards locations (Convention Center or Council Chambers) if we want to keep the program on October 16. We will need to make a decision soon so we can revise the forms and get those out to you. Please respond by Tuesday with your vote for location. Thanks. Some may receive this twice as I had a yahoogroups listing for previous years. If that's the case, please excuse and disregard this one. Serving with Excellence, Dwayne C.

FW: Planning Commission Agenda - July 28, 2009

by paulbrant＠mindspring.com

Hi folks; You may want to take a look at the attached agenda item TC-04-09. It has 11 pages of proposed wording changes to the Municipal Code. It is not a very user friendly document if you don't actually look up the existing Municipal Code sections to see the topic or what the proposed change is doing. Some changes are simply because they have moved things from a separate document into the Comprehensive Plan but other changes are quite significant and bear looking at more closely as they affect your neighborhoods.

Comp Plan Concerns

by Philip W Poe

At the last RCAC meeting, it was agreed the RCAC would compile a list of concerns related to the latest draft of the Comp Plan. These concerns will be forwarded to the City Council for consideration as it begins its final review of the Plan. Below is my input for institutional impacts. I consider this a transition issue between uses; however, most of the discussion about transitions has focused on transitions between the Central Business District (CBD) and the adjacent neighborhoods. INSTITUTIONAL IMPACTS As Raleigh has grown, churches, schools and civic centers are morphing from relatively low impact neighborhood facilities to relatively high impact destination facilities. As a consequence, the quality of life in neighborhoods is either threatened or eroding as residents experience the adverse effects from more noise, intrusive lighting and additional traffic and parking congestion. Because most of these institutions were considered neighborhood facilities in the past, they are typically zoned residential. However, the increases in scale and activity make the residential zoning classification obsolete. A change of use or more robust regulations are now needed for these properties to mitigate the adverse impacts on adjacent properties.

What is a CAC?

by Mark Turner

Let me throw this out for possible discussion at next week's meeting. We have a number of neighbors in the East CAC who had no idea that the CAC existed. We're working to get the word out through flyers and yard signs but I've been unable to find a fitting description of what a CAC is or does. So, let me ask the group: how do YOU describe your CAC to neighbors who haven't heard of CACs before? Mark East CAC

Thank you, Mark, for pushing for this much needed change. mbp In a message dated 7/7/2009 2:44:07 P.M. Eastern Daylight Time, cac-chair(a)eastraleigh.org writes: It's official. City Attorney Tom McCormick just got permission from the City Council to work with city staff and public works on changing the ordinance for neighborhood signs funded by Neighborhood Improvement Grants. This will waive the insurance requirements for these signs when these signs encroach on the public right of way.
