High Point boards weighed transit funding, rezoning, and watershed variance; outcomes pending
Three High Point advisory bodies met over the past two weeks to take up federal transit funding, a rezoning along W. Lexington Avenue, and a watershed variance on Gallimore Dairy Road. Minutes have not yet been published for any of the meetings, so final votes and outcomes are not yet part of the public record.
Transportation Advisory Committee — June 23
The HPMPO Transportation Advisory Committee (TAC) was scheduled to vote on how to split the region's FY26 Federal Transit Administration Section 5307 funds among local transit providers. The specific dollar amount of that allocation was not listed in the agenda.
The committee was also set to approve amendments to the 2026-2035 Metropolitan Transportation Improvement Program (MTIP) affecting several projects:
- **Cedrow Drive multi-use facility, High Point** — preliminary engineering delayed to FY26; total project cost listed at $4.16 million.
- **Norfolk Southern Jamestown siding construction** — delayed to FY28; $4.07 million.
- **Norfolk Southern Lexington lead track construction** — delayed to FY29; $2.04 million.
Information items on the agenda included updates to the Unified Planning Work Program and P8.0 scoring for statewide mobility projects. Because minutes are not yet published, it is not confirmed which items passed or how any votes were tallied.
Planning and Zoning Commission — June 23
The Planning and Zoning Commission held a public hearing on Zoning Map Amendment 26-04, covering approximately 4.34 acres across six parcels. The proposed changes would shift five office parcels along W. Lexington Avenue from conditional use transitional office (CU-TO) to standard transitional office (TO) zoning, and rezone one multifamily residential parcel near Rockspring Road from CU RM-16 to standard RM-16 zoning.
Commissioners were also scheduled to review proposed updates to their rules of procedure and approve minutes from the May 26, 2026 meeting. Final action on the rezoning is not confirmed pending publication of minutes.
Board of Adjustment — July 1
The Board of Adjustment reviewed a major watershed variance request (VR-26-01) from Koury NST, LLC for the property at 501 Gallimore Dairy Road. The request sought to reduce surface water buffers based on the relocation of a stream on the site. No outcome is available; minutes have not been published.
Coming up
- **Historic Preservation Commission — July 8:** This meeting has been cancelled. The next regular meeting is scheduled for August 12, 2026.
No other public meetings are listed in the next 14 days. Residents seeking confirmed outcomes from the June 23 TAC and Planning and Zoning Commission meetings, or the July 1 Board of Adjustment meeting, should watch for published minutes from each body.
