Asheville Planning and Zoning Commission Meeting
The commission discussed environmental protections and zoning districts, specifically addressing potential changes to the RS2 zoning district and its alignment with environmentally sensitive areas like steep slopes and flood hazards. The discussion included the procedural steps for considering zoning modifications, the role of GIS data in evaluating parcel constraints, and the integration of these efforts with the ongoing comprehensive plan and UDO update project led by Optic Coast Design. Additionally, the commission held a public hearing regarding a conditional rezoning request for properties on Anka Heritage Parkway and Sand Hill Road.
