Planning Raleigh 2030
Comprehensive Plan Update - www.planningraleigh2030.com
Why are we updating the Comprehensive Plan?
A new plan is needed to ensure that Raleigh's quality of life continues to be protected as the City grows, emphasizing neighborhood preservation, a strong economy, ample parks and recreation, improved mobility for all modes of transportation, and the protection of the City and region's natural resources and environmental quality. The Plan will serve as the policy framework for a wide range of decisions concerning land use, development, design, and public investment priorities. An extensive public input and outreach effort is underway that will serve, in combination with technical studies, as the foundation for the Plan's policies.
A series of background studies is being undertaken as preparation for the update. The first of these is an analysis of the City's capacity to accommodate future growth within its planning jurisdiction, based on existing vacant and developable land under current zoning. Additional studies will be posted as they are completed.
Round Two of Public Workshops on the Comprehensive Plan were scheduled for March 25 - 27.

Community Inventory Report
The City of Raleigh has begun a 24-month process to thoroughly update its Comprehensive Plan. Since 1989, when the last Comprehensive Plan was adopted, Raleigh has seen tremendous growth and change. Growth continues at the fringe of the city, but also downtown, commercial centers and within older established neighborhoods. Raleigh is expected to grow by 70 percent over the next 20 years to reach a population of 700,000.
Three visioning workshops, were held in different parts of the city on November 13, 14 and 15. The purpose of those workshops was to define a vision for Raleigh's future. A summary of the public comments from the workshops is now available.
The public Kick-off Celebration (photos) of the Comprehensive Plan was on Thursday, October 25, 2007.
