Durham City Council voted 4-3 to approve rezoning for a 90-townhouse forest development despite environmental concerns about flooding and stream corridors.
Council voted 4-3 to rezone 18 acres on Infinity Road for 90 townhouses despite warnings about flooding and stream corridors; the developer will pay $1,000 per student to schools and provide 8 percent affordable units.

Council approved $218 million in utility refunding bonds for water and wastewater improvements and committed to request annual reports from Durham Public Schools on how developer proffers are spent.
