Rescheduled: Planning and Zoning Commission (In-Person) (Jun 3, 2026)

The Planning and Zoning Commission will hold a meeting on June 3rd to discuss several key zoning matters impacting Asheville. The primary focus will be on five separate requests that could change how land is used and developed across the city. Updates will also be provided on the ongoing Comprehensive Plan & Development Regulations Update, a project aimed at revising city-wide planning policies.

A major portion of the meeting will involve public hearings and potential votes on these zoning requests, which include changes to parking rules, allowing more accessory dwelling units and duplexes in residential areas, and rezoning specific properties to accommodate different types of businesses or higher density housing. These decisions could significantly affect neighborhoods and the overall character of Asheville, so public input is encouraged.

Citizens can attend the meeting in person at City Hall or watch a livestream, and written comments are being accepted via email until June 2nd. Details about the specific zoning requests, staff reports, and how to submit comments can be found on the city's website.
