City of Raleigh Planning and Development Comprehensive Planning One Exchange Plaza | Suite 300 Raleigh, NC 27601 919-996-2235 Raleighnc.gov (Email From Robert Tate, City Of Raleigh) Good morning Mike, The Frequent Transit Development Option (FTDO) allows for additional housing in locations with existing or planned frequent transit service. Utilizing this development option within the R-6 zoning district would unlock the apartment building type (3 stories max.) and generally allows a smaller lot area than the conventional development option. Utilizing the FTDO: “In a residential zoning district shall contain no more than twelve 12 residential units; however, a development site may contain additional residential units provided a number of units equal at least twenty percent (20%) of the residential units over twelve (12) established within the development site shall be affordable for households earning sixty percent (60%) of the Area Median Income or less for a period of no less than 30 years from the date of issuance of a certificate of occupancy.” For more information regarding regulation and additional requirements view UDO Section 2.7.1. Frequent Transit Development Option. The FTDO could be a more practical option than rezoning, more so if you’re short on time and it provides the desired density you seek. If the FTDO in the R-6 zoning district is insufficient for a potential project, the Rezoning Process begins with a Pre-Application Conference. This meeting with staff is low stakes, where you receive feedback on your potential request using the city’s growth and development policy. A property owner is not required to attend this meeting but is required to initiate a rezoning request. For your reference and convenience, I’ve attached a Pre-Application Conference Request Form. Return a completed form back to me if you’re interested in scheduling a meeting with staff. Let me know if you have any questions. Robert Tate, MURP
