The Wake Forest Community Plan gives broad guidance for how the town is going to grow, but the UDO, the Unified Development Ordinance, provides the meat, the substance down to building setbacks and buffer zones.
The Town of Wake Forest is updating the UDO and will offer two opportunities for comments and proposals on the same day, May 25. There will be two sessions of a drop-in style open house at the Wake Forest Renaissance Centre at 405 South Brooks Street, one from 11 a.m. to 1 p.m. and one from 6:30 to 8:30 p.m.
The town contracted with Houseal Lavigne Associates to oversee the UDO update. You can find the meetings and the steps for the update by going to the town’s website, www.wakeforestnc.gov, clicking on “Departments” and “Planning” and on the right side of the page you will find “Unified Development Ordinance.” Click on that and you will find a new page full of information about the upgrade. Readers may find that scrolling down on the right side to “Existing UDO Analysis && Preliminary Recommendations Report” will allow them an interesting insight into the what Houseal Lavigne find neds to be added, taken out and revised.
Already the update plans on new or revised zoning districts, allowable uses and other changes. Senior Planner Kari Grace is in charge of the project.

Better yet – don’t bother. The Town Board and Mayor completely ignore it when it really matters.
We have had several big wins lately. I’m counting on a few at the june 20th meeting too. Not sure which plan they ticked you off on, but only losers throw their hands up & give up. I’m sure you are not a loser, so get back on the horse & weigh in on the UDO! All the cool folks in town are participating.
