Council approved the rezoning request

“Councilwoman Turner moved to approve the rezoning request from Residential Multi-family, High Density (RM-16) to Commercial Industrial (CI) with an amendment to the Future Land Use Map of the Living Asheville Comprehensive Plan from Traditional Neighborhood to Urban Corridor thereby assigning zoning and land use designations that are more compatible with the surrounding properties and find that the request is reasonable, is in the public interest and is consistent with the Comprehensive Plan and other adopted plans, and meets the development needs of the community in that the rezoning will, 1) assign a zoning designation that will better support future infill development in a locationally efficient area; and, 2) remove an unusual zoning condition that can be a barrier to future development.”
