zoning

About two years ago, the Town of Waynesville hired a consultant and established a steering committee to consider "tweaking" the town's existing land use ordinance.

After more than three dozen meetings, the steering committee has issued a revised DRAFT ordinance, along with the town's planning staff Review of the proposed new ordinance.

A rezoning request that would have forced the mass eviction of 160 Raleigh families will likely be dropped, according to an interview from the developer.

At meetings of both the Asheville City Council and the Buncombe County Commissioners last night, two important issues were addressed.
The City postponed a decision on a "steep slope" development regulation. Meanwhile, across the alley, the County approved its first zoning law 3-2.
