Subject: Upcoming Events
June 22 & 23: New Development Code.Transitions Workshops
The City of Raleigh is drafting new development regulations and needs your
ideas about rules for transitions between different uses-e.g., between
residential and commercial uses. The objective is to mitigate any adverse
impacts on any property. Although each workshop targets a specific
stakeholder group, the public is welcome to attend any meeting and will have
the opportunity to make comments.

June 24: Capital Blvd Corridor Study
The City has begun work on a project for the revitalization of Capital
Boulevard between the beltline and the downtown business district. This
workshop provides the public with the opportunity to create a vision for
this important gateway into the City of Raleigh. Since this project runs
along the eastern boundary of the Five Points CAC and will include both
high-speed and regional rail lines, it's important that our community
becomes an active participant in the process.
