Please read INC's March 8, 2023 letter to Durham Mayor O'Neal and the City Council. "A committee of nine delegates representing the InterNeighborhood Council of Durham and their diverse neighborhoods has met 12 times over the past 4 weeks to do a deep-dive into the 85+ pages of privately initiated proposed text amendments to the UDO (Unified Development Ordinance) called “SCAD (Simplifying Codes for more Affordable Development)” by its applicant, the Raleigh-based developer James Anthony."
