Have you ever wondered to yourself... What exactly is zoning and what can/can’t it do? How do things get built in Durham? Why does that building or site look like that? How and why do you plan for something that is 5, 10, or 15 years away? What legal basis does the City and County have to regulate land? How can residents get involved in planning matters?
Hosted for the seventh time since the course’s inception in 2016, the Durham City-County Planning Department is seeking applicants for its Durham Planning Academy, which is designed for residents who want a better understanding of planning issues, how they impact current and future development as well as how to get involved in planning matters.
This interactive four-week course begins on Thursday, March 26, 2020, and will meet each Thursday for four weeks (March 26, April 2, April 9, and April 16) from 6:00 p.m. to 8:00 p.m. at Durham City Hall, located at 101 City Hall Plaza. Food will be provided at each session and the academy is free for all attendees.
Online applications are now being accepted until Sunday, March 1, 2020, at 11:59 p.m. at https://www.surveymonkey.com/r/G6LK3YP.

Thank you to everyone who participated at the Listening and Learning Workshops! If you missed participating in one of the Listening and Learning Workshops, it’s not too late to share your ideas!
A web survey version of the workshop is available online. Community members can visit the ENGAGEDurham website to submit their thoughts and ideas on the two broad questions that were discussed at the Listening and Learning Workshops: - What does your ideal Durham look like? and
- What else is on your mind about Durham?
All responses are anonymous and all demographic questions are optional. The demographic questions will help Planning staff understand who we have heard from in the community and who we still need to reach to represent the full diversity of Durham.
