715 Roosevelt Street Rezoning
At a glance
Based on auto-generated captions; names and details may be misheard.
- What: request by Pop Homes HBI LLC to rezone about 0.46 acre at 715 Roosevelt Street from R-20 to R-8 so two single-family homes can be built on the original 1919 lots.
- Where it stands: the Planning Board approved it on 2026-10-12 as consistent with the Mebane 2045 plan (suburban neighborhood place type).
- Next: City Council on November 2, as stated at the meeting.
The proposal
- The two paper lots were combined by the tax office; the UDO non-conforming lots rule requires adjoining lots under one owner to be combined unless they meet zoning standards. Staff compared it to a West McKinley Street rezoning earlier in 2026.
- Plan is two single-family detached homes of about 1,800 sq ft with two-car garages; R-8 would not allow multifamily here.
Main concerns
- A neighbor raised narrow streets, on-street parking and traffic in the area; members noted each lot fits about four cars on site, and staff said road conditions would be discussed with other departments. The area has no sidewalks.
