[SoDu We Watch Our Government] Durham Planning Commission - April 14, 2026: A Work Plan, Stalled UDO, and Rocky Branch
Durham planning commissioners will review a proposed FY27 work plan that keeps the stalled UDO rewrite alive while also weighing a 225-home Virgil Road rezoning with implications for traffic, schools, and South Durham growth.

On April 14, Durham planners pitch their work plan for the 2026-27 fiscal year. It keeps the big Unified Development Ordinance (UDO) rewrite on the books, even though that hit a wall in February over legal concerns.
During this meeting, commissioners also are expected to consider a 225-home rezoning and annexation case off Virgil Road - The Reserve at Rocky Branch.
