Parks, Recreation & Cultural Resources Master Plan (2015) The 2015 Parks, Recreation, and Cultural Resources Master Plan guides the Town in meeting the needs of current and future residents by enhancing and expanding on the community’s unique parks, recreation, and cultural assets. The Plan includes a facility inventory, GRASP (Geo-Referenced Amenities Standards Process) Level of Service Analysis, needs assessment, and operational and marketing analysis, that inform recommendations on how to enhance existing facilities while pursuing opportunities for new facilities and improvements. Issues identified include the need for better circulation systems within parks, increased connectivity to the trail system, enhanced open space integration into parks, and better provision of park facilities west of Capital Boulevard and south of Dr. Calvin Jones Highway (Hwy 98). This Community Plan supports the Master Plan and provides high-level recommendations for expanded access to parks, recreation, and cultural resources.
Historic Preservation Plan (2012) The 2012 Wake Forest Historic Preservation
Northeast Community Plan (2021) The Northeast Community Plan recommends policies and actions to address the current and future needs of the Northeast Community in Wake Forest. The Plan aims to help preserve the history, diversity, and affordability of the area while addressing issues of growth, economic health, public infrastructure, and preservation. The update to the Northeast Neighborhood Plan was underway during the development of the updated Community Plan, and the two project teams met multiple times throughout the planning process to ensure alignment of the Plans. While the Community Plan does not provide recommendations for the Northeast Community Plan, it ensures surrounding uses are supportive of the neighborhood’s vision and goals.
Plan outlines the Town’s current preservation funding and oversight
mechanisms, historic preservation-related activities and projects, and lists of the Town’s historic districts and landmarks. The plan also provides a set of policies that provide the framework for the Town’s approach to historic preservation. A summary of a community workshop that was hosted by the Wake Forest Historic Preservation Commission is included in the appendix. The Community Plan promotes coordination with the Historic Preservation Plan and encourages new development and redevelopment within historically significant areas to complement the existing historic character.
