RED:
Things that seem problematic
Manager’s Report – Update on Homelessness Initiatives
We would like to have the documents/resources for this presentation ahead of time, as the city provides documentation for other presentations, reports, and public hearings.
Things to do
We encourage you to reach out to the Asheville City Council and the City Manager via email. Suggest that the City Manager provide the corresponding documents in advance. Encourage the City Manager to provide information at the same time as the city.
GREEN:
Things that sound like a step in the right direction
Public hearing to consider conditional zoning of 275 Deaverview Road from RM-16 Residential Multi-Family High Density District to Residential Expansion District/Conditional Zone.
This item was previously flagged for having a limited time frame of affordability.
We want to thank the City Council for hearing us out and for ensuring that all 82 units (100%) will be designated affordable in perpetuity.
Things to do
We encourage you to reach out to the Asheville City Council via email. Express gratitude and thanks for hearing us out and encourage them to continue considering affordability in perpetuity for future housing zoning projects.
