Affordable Housing Proposed on Fayetteville Street

The Vickers Land Company LLC wants to rezone nearly 10 acres of land along Fayetteville Street for as many as 220 multifamily residential units – at least 176 of which are expected to be income-restricted apartments.

The property is at 3707 Fayetteville St., nestled between Hillside High School and W.G. Pearson Elementary School. The City of Durham’s transportation department indicated in a Sept. 26 email to Nil Ghosh of Morningstar Law Group that a traffic impact study won’t be necessary for the project, known as Fayetteville Flats.

The pre-submittal summary includes staff recommendations for extensive engagement with the neighborhood and Durham Public Schools.

A virtual neighborhood meeting about the proposal is set for Thursday, Dec. 19, from 6 to 7 p.m. Register for the meeting at this link.
