Wilmington City Council Postpones Barclay West Rezoning Over Housing Requirements
What happened
The Wilmington City Council postponed a rezoning request for 12.26 acres of Barclay West until November 17. The request sought to remove a density cap on the midtown mixed-use campus, which was submitted by Cameron Properties Land Company. The postponement allows property owners to decide whether to comply with the council’s request for workforce housing to be part of the project.

Why it matters
The rezoning request would allow the developer to build 208 units on the property instead of 44 if the density cap is removed. The council agreed that more density in the area made sense, but required assurance that the housing constructed would be affordable across various incomes.
