I live between Bedford and Falls River in N. Raleigh within close proximity to a condo development know as Breezewood. There are several condo strcutrues in the Breezewood development but long ago I noticed that a large tract of land in the breezewood community had not been developed (It is cleared and graded and even has a vacant parking lot but no buidlings were ever constructed there). Today I got the following "Neighborhood Meeting Notification" in the mail. It reads:
************************************************** ********
Date: November 28, 2007
Time: 6-7pm
Place:
Falls River Club
1300 Falls River Avenue
Raleigh, NC
Subject: Breezewood Condominium Rezoning: City of Raleigh Rezoning Case Number, Z-04-08 CUD
This is an informational meeting to discuss the rezoning of 34.40 acres located within the Breezewood Condominium development. The property owner, Breezewood holdings LLC, will be available to discuss the petition for rezoning on file with the City of Raleigh Planning Department to answer and questions you may have.
I know there are a few people on this forum who live in Bedford and Falls River and I was curious if you knew what this rezoning issue is about? Does somebody know where I can find more information about this case? I plan to go to the meeting but I would like to read up on things before hand.
hmmm...went to City of Raleigh Planning website but can't find any information about this petition......... isn't even listed on the website under "pending" cases!
If it doesn't, here's how to get there. "This information is posted on www.raleighnc.gov click publication, Planning, Rezoning Cases, 2008, Z-004-08 and your contact planner for this case is Dhanya Sandeep @ 516-2659 in which you may call with any questions."
I remember reading that Breezewood was having some issues with their condos. But it was just heresay. Maybe they've decided to stop building them and the area is going to be rezoned for something else? I'd love to know what you find out.
From reading the petition, its already zoned for condos. They weren't able to build as many condos as they originally filed for so they want this last parcel of their land to be rezoned so they can build the remaining condos on it. I'm not sure what the deal is exactly, but it appears that its not additional land from the original plan and its not increasing the number of units that they said they would have in the first place.

Yes, I agree. It looks like there originial zoning approval has sunset and they are looking to get it reinstated. I have to wonder if they are actually planning on developing that land anytime soon or if they are just trying to get it vested so they can develop it down the road.
I do plan on going to this meeting and I will report back on this forum with what I can find out.
I remember reading that Breezewood was having some issues with their condos. But it was just heresay.
I have heard similar comments from a friend who lives there. Again, it just hearsay so my info may be bad. What I have heard is that the original developer field for bankruptcy years ago before all the units were built and several liens were placed against the entire property. My friend who lives with a friend who owns a townhouse there said that all of the Breezewood property owners have issues with the titles to their properties due to these liens. Again this is all hearsay so take it with a grain of salt.
With all these troubles I really doubt Breezewood will be building more units anytime soon, but I am curious what the end goal of the rezoning process is. I would love to see something happen with that land. Either develop it or just plant some ground cover and trees. Right now I consider it an eyesore.
