VERBATIM is a series that republishes the words of local leaders supporting better cities.
On June 16, 2025, Durham City Council heard a case to rezone a small property for an equally small townhouse development. It was by a local builder who was going through his first rezoning and cleared the planning commission unanimously. One Council Member asked several questions about the lack of additional proffers despite the small size of the project. Council Member Caballero’s response is published in full.
