Description
October 3, 2017
Asheville City Council Meeting
A
We
have
you
know
we
have
a
lot
of
things
happening
in
our
country.
These
seems
like
this
last
month
of
September
has
been
particularly
devastating
and
I
just
thought
we
might
want
to
take
a
moment
and
actually
into
October
now
and
just
have
a
moment
of
silence,
just
to
sort
of
reflect
on
our
our
situation
and
and
our
concern
for
all
the
other
people
that
live
with
us
on
this
planet
and
are
trying
to
get
through
and
struggle
through
every
day.
So.
C
Before
I
read
the
proclamation,
let
me
just
set
the
stage
for
a
minute
or
two.
Many
of
you
know
that
we
here
in
Asheville,
have
been.
The
city
has
been
a
partner
along
with
Buncombe
County
and
Duke
Energy.
In
what
we've
called
the
energy
innovation
task
force,
you
will
be
hearing
a
lot
more
about
the
work
of
that
group.
C
We've
been
working
now
for
about
16
months
and
we
will
have
a
set
of
recommendations
and
some
very
interesting
community
campaign
information
coming
out
in
the
next
in
the
next
month,
and
actually,
my
hope
is
that
we
can
get
an
agenda
item
on
the
October
agenda
to
share
the
results
of
that
work
and
the
recommendations
for
going
forward
and
energy
efficiency
is
a
big
piece
of
that.
So
this
is
completely
timely
and
appropriate.
C
Combustion
turbine
electricity
generating
facility
at
the
we'll
plant
site
in
2023
and
whereas
energy
efficiency
is
the
art
of
getting
the
same
or
better
performance
using
less
energy.
All
while
cutting
utility
bills
for
residential
business
and
industrial
customers
and
whereas
reliable,
affordable
energy
is
vital
to
our
economic
prosperity
and
energy
efficiency.
Is
the
most
productive
and
cost-effective
way
to
meet
our
energy
needs
and
implementing
clean
energy
policies
and
programs
helps
boost
economic
opportunities
and
job
creation.
C
D
F
D
E
C
Just
for
people
at
home
didn't
hear
that
on
October
5th,
you
can
come
to
the
second
floor
of
City
Hall
and
receive
an
LED
light
bulb
for
your
house
and
celebration
of
energy
efficiency
day
and
I
should
mention
that
the
the
sustainability
efforts
here
at
the
city
are
led
by
our
sustainability
committee.
These
are
two
members
of
our
sustainability
committee
and,
of
course,
all
under
the
direction
of
our
sustainability
director
amber
Weaver.
A
G
Now,
therefore,
is3
Mannheimer
mayor
of
the
city
of
Asheville,
do
hereby
proclaim
October
7
2017
as
woman
Sande
in
the
city
of
Asheville,
and
call
upon
all
citizens
to
celebrate
the
beauty
of
song
and
support
woman
song
in
their
mission
to
spread
joy
and
harmony
across
Western,
North,
Carolina
and
empowering
women.
Congratulations.

Good
afternoon
mayor
members
of
council
and
everyone
in
attendance
today,
my
name
is
Joe
Newman
and
I
want
to
introduce
you
to
a
remarkable
woman,
Tippi
Avery,
I
suspect.
Most
people
here
have
actually
been
introduced
to
Timmy
Tempe
but
I'll.
Further,
the
introduction
I'm
going
to
focus
on
the
historical
context
of
the
second
half
of
her
life,
not
the
40
years.
She
began
life
as
a
enslaved
person,
but
the
50
years
she
was
a
freed
woman
in
Asheville.
K
K
All
over
town
to
bring
a
new
life
into
this
world
typically
came
so
popular
that
when
she
grew
ill
and
eventually
passed
away
in
1917,
that
was
100
years
ago,
tributes
and
memorials
were
published
to
her
in
the
Asheville
Citizen,
and
that
was
an
unusual
outpouring
of
respect
and
affection
for
someone
of
her
race
during
that
era.
Today,.
F
K
Through
the
early
1900s
years
that
witnessed
the
gradual
restoration
of
white
supremacy
as
a
matter
of
law,
African
Americans
saw
their
hard
lives
become
even
harder
during
these
years.
Now,
let's
go
down
to
the
present
many
of
the
children
enrolled
in
the
Montford
community
centers
programs
today,
particularly
those
in
the
extensive
after-school
programs,
are
also
struggling
and
they're.

M
The
paper
Nikolas
would
fit
was
the
owner
of
this
location
surrounding
property
in
the
1860s,
a
December
13th
1868.
This
one
acre
lot
was
sold
to
his
daughters,
Anna
Woodfin
Lilly
Woodfin
and
Myra
Woodfin,
and
his
former
slave
tempra
Haynes
Avery
for
the
sum
of
$1,
the
deed
states
that
Tempe
a
freed
woman
was
a
nurse
for
the
names,
daughters
and
a
nurse
and
servant
to
them
and
their
parents
until
made
free
by
the
result
of
war.
M
It
was
afterwards
true,
faithful
to
the
family
and
is
now
with
people,
health
and
needs
and
desires
a
home
sent
in
love
with
its
opportunities
for
the
sole
and
separate
use
and
benefit
of
said
Tempe
during
her
natural
life
and
after
her
death
to
the
use
of
one
or
more
for
children.

M
After
the
defeat
of
his
death
on
February
17th
1917
at
her
home
at
26
Pearson
drive,
the
lot
ownership
was
transferred
from
Julia
Carr,
her
daughter
and
Lorenzo
Irwin,
her
unmarried
grandson
to
Anna
Avery,
the
widow
of
the
widow
of
her
deceased
son,
Frank
Avery,
according
to
the
direction
in
Tempe.
Well,
Anna.
Avery
was
to
happen,
hold
for
and
turn
the
time
of
her
natural
life.
The
place
here
and
after
described
her
said
old

relatives
and
areas
of
Tempe,
Avery
Lorenzo
or

The
taint
states,
Tempe
Avery
recently
died
leaving
wail
whereby
she
devised
certain
parts
of
said
lot
to
her
children
and
grandchildren.
M
These
Lots
were
apparently
being
created
for
the
larger
lot
on
which
the
Tempe
Avery
home
place.
Each
person
named
above
was
deeded
a
portion
of
this
property
according
to
temporaries.
Well,
this
is
the
land
on
which
the
Longford
Community
Center
complex
is
now
currently
located.

The
lot
owned
by
Avery
by
any
Avery
per
deed
of
July
30th
1917,
was
sold
by
Buncombe
County
Board
of
tax
provisions,
bumpkin
County
to
the
highest
builder
and
public
auction.
The
Montford
Community
Center
complex
now
stands
on
that
property,
but
was
previously
in
Tempe
every
family's
for
a
hundred
years.
That
just.
E
J
J
Okay,
this
is
a
Google
Maps
current
view
that
shows
you
Pearson
Drive
and
the
location
of
the
community
center
there
as
it
stands
now
and
I'm
going
to
leave
this
here
from
this
right.
Here
is
a
1925
detail
of
a
Sanborn
insurance
map
and
there's
a
Pearson
Drive
right
there
and
there's
Kennedy's
house
right
there.
That
shows
the
shape
and
the
position
of
her
home
and
that
you
could
see
from
the
previous
map
that
the
Montford
Community
Center
was
basically
built
on
top
of
where
her
home
was
so
I'm
going
to
leave
that
there.
J
About
20
years
ago,
I
began
to
study
the
woods
and
family
as
part
of
a
community
research
project
prompted
in
a
church
group
to
which
I
belong.
Being
a
working,
mom
I
carved
out
time
to
poke
my
head
into
the
North
Carolina
room
upstairs
at
that
time
impact
library
finding
first
biographies
than
newspapers
than
microfilm
plundering
treasures
as
a
craft
I
had
stopped
to
develop
them
long
ago.
J
Not
long
into
my
research,
I
found
individuals
whose
treasures
were
inspiring
and
a
wood
fin
rose
quickly
to
the
surface
and
the
more
I
dug
the
better
it
got
and
the
treasure
hunt
was
on
like
fingers
into
soil
and
springtime
I
moved
in
every
direction.
The
study
led
me
eventually
into
the
slavery
aspect.
Timbi
Avery's
story
came
forward
with
no
emphasis
over
other
issues
at
the
time
one
day,
the
librarians
and
and
so
asked
do.
You
know
about
Martha
and
Joe
Warren,
her
hood.
J
She
and
her
husband
were
year
studying
Tempe
soon
Martha
and
I
became
acquainted
at
home
stacks
of
research
findings
accumulated
today.
If
I
tell
you
that
I
hid
some
treasure,
this
very
room,
your
interest
would
be
roused.
You
would
start
looking
around
as
I
give
hints
some
of
you
might
get
up
and
start
moving
furniture.
Some
would
follow
others
around
because
they
think
someone
else
has
the
better
idea.
Some
would
sit
back
and
watch
having
no
faith
that
I
hid
anything
worth
their
time.
J
Someone
might
get
upset
for
a
moment
where
one
of
the
treasures
this
found
saying
it
belonged
to
them
first
and
no
one
else
has
a
right
to
it.
Well,
I
found
a
treasure
in
thinking
to
rename
the
Montford
community
center
as
the
Tempe
Avery
community
center.
I
didn't
know
that
the
warrants
had
tried
to
do
so
a
decade
ago,
but
as
Martha
and
I
began
to
talk,
a
mutuality
was
forged
a
treasure
waiting,
a
good
polishing
before
along
many
other
people
joined
in
who
agree
that
this
project
carries
good
strong
will
for
the
entire
community.
J
What
I
undertook
with
much
thought
and
labor
has
come
before
you
today
to
ask
for
your
questions
and
your
support.
Ashville
some
tremendous.
Some
people
spend
tremendous
efforts
to
protest
racism.
They
strive
to
publicize
wrongs
and
to
change
laws.
Others
find
others
of
us
find
the
strong
shoulders
of
friends
and
strangers
within
the
pages
of
history,
books
and
neighbors
across
the
street,
with
whom
we
may
conceptualize
and
act
upon
incremental
changes.
J
We're
healing
begins,
getting
to
know
Tempe,
and
so
many
who
have
shared
information
has
been
not
only
a
personal
treasure
hunt
but
a
way
to
help
participate
in
healing
between
some
people
who
rights
for
reasons
that
needed
to
change
for
a
long
time.
The
treasure
I
have
found
in
all
of
this
is
the
beauty
and
joy
of
a
good
work
shared
may
this
effort
end
result
would
be
a
blessing
to
everyone
who
hears
then
remembers
the
name
Tempe
Avery.
J
E
N
Name
is
Martha
Warren
I'm,
a
direct
descendent
of
Tempe
Avery,
my
mother
Julia
Brown,
born
in
Asheville
North
Carolina,
who
lived
to
a
hundred
and
one
and
died
May
6
2007
teen
was
Tempe
abies
great-great
granddaughter.
She
was
raised
on
the
property
where
the
Montfort
community
center
was
later
built
years
ago.
My
husband
of
my
late
husband
and
I
Joe
Warren
came
to
Asheville
to
research
and
initiate
the
process
to
change
the
name
of
the
center
to
the
Tempe
Avery
center.
N
A
A
Okay,
so
we,
this
has
been
a
special
day,
because
this
morning
we
began
at
the
new
bus
shelters
in
Montford,
the
historic
bus
shelters
that
have
featured
the
historic
plaques
on
them
that
talk
about
the
history
in
Montfort
and
in
several
individuals,
including
Tempe
Avery.
So
this
is
a
special
moment
for
for
our
city
for
your
family
to
be
here
today
with
us,
as
we
had
that
ceremony
or
celebration
this
morning
and
a
special
thanks
to
Sharon
fire
who
helped
organize
that
event
and
to
Kathryn.
A
Thank
you
for
your
work
on
this
and
it
was
a
pleasure
to
meet
you
and
your
family
today.
So
the
this
is
a
process
that
we
have
a
policy
for
in
our
city,
where
folks
can
petition
to
name
a
city
building
or
facility,
they
have
to
present
the
city
with
30
signatures.
In
this
case,
there
were
200
signatures
so
a
little
over
the
top,
but
very
very
much
appreciated,
and
this
request
has
been
considered
by
several
boards
and
commissions
already
in
the
city
and
per
our
process
tonight.
A
Technically,
what
we're
doing
is
setting
this
on
the
agenda
to
be
voted
on
at
the
next
council
meeting,
but
but
we're
voting
tonight
to
place
it
on
the
agenda
for
the
next
council
meeting.
So
tonight
is
the
night
for
talking
about
it
as
well
and
I
know
you
have
traveled
here.
So
thank
you
so
much
for
doing
that
and
so
I
think
I
helped
explain
playing
the
process,
usually
we're
doing
fire
stations
and
things
like
that.
So
this
is
something
a
little
different
for
us
all
right.
O
Just
like
to
say
that
I
want
to
first
thank
all
the
individuals
who
were
involved
in
moving
this
forward,
bringing
to
Council's
attention
and
doing
all
the
diligent
work
that
took
place
to
get
it
here.
I'd
also
like
to
say
that
I
am
completely
enamored
over
the
history,
good
and
bad,
that
african-americans
have
contributed
to
the
city
and
that
I
hope
that
more
stories,
good
and
adverse
could
come
out
in
the
public
eye
and
be
recognized
and
encapsulated
and
all
sorts
of
recognition
processes
as
we
move
forward
in
this
city
I.
O
Think
it's
well
overdue
for
a
lot
of
things
like
this
and
I.
Just
some
of
those
dates
and
things
that
were
mentioned.
My
grandfather
was
born
in
1916
and
so
just
sort
of
a
direct
correlation
between
individuals
that
I
know
and
individuals
that
these
these
folks
know
is
I,
don't
know
it's
just
breathtaking.
The
breadth
and
depth
of.
O
African-American
involvement
in
this
community
and
I
do
hope
that
this
will
will
spark
something
in
the
future
that
we
can
learn
more
about
the
contributions
of
African
Americans
in
this
in
this
community.
That's
well
overdue
and
recognition.
So
thank
you
all
for
your
hard
work
and
bringing
this
forward
and
I
greatly
appreciate
it.
Esther.
C
Can
I
just
say
one
quick
thing:
I'll
echo
everything
Keith
said,
and
you
know
we
there's
been
a
lot
of
discussion
about
monuments
these
days
and
we're.
We
have
some
limitations
on
us
about
monuments,
but
things
like
community
centers
and
fire
stations.
Those
are
our
own
and
we
can
I'll
just
say:
I
hope.
This
is
the
first
of
several
or
many
opportunities
to
celebrate
the
history
of
people
in
our
city
that
don't
often
get
celebrated
and
I'll.
C
B
A
For
people
that
want
to
know
more
about
Tempe
Avery,
there's
a
great
collection
of
documents
attached
to
the
agenda
electronically,
and
you
can
read
some
articles
written
about
her
and
see
some
of
the
maps
and
pictures
very
fascinating
all
right,
all
those
in
favor,
please
say
aye
any
opposed
all
right.
That
concludes
our
consent
agenda.
Unless
everyone
wants
to
stick
around
for
us
of
this
meeting,
this
is
a
great
time
to
make
it
get
away.
Thank
you.
R
A
Okay,
we
have
two
presentations
and
reports
on
our
agenda
tonight.
The
first

Soneva
economics
and
Seeley
chair
with
Chipley
consultant,
Tom
and
Seeley,
will
be
presenting
a
set
of
encouraging
findings
resulting
from
a
year-long
study
titled
the
entrepreneurial
impact
developer
of
special
events.
P
As
you
know,
the
special
events
office
moved
under
the
Community
Economic
Development
Department
about
four
years
ago
and
with
that
move
came
as
shift
and
our
focus
from
somewhat
passively,
permitting
outdoor
public
space
to
actively
pursuing
partnerships,
educating
event,
producers
on
the
best
practices
and
encouraging
events
to
align
with
your
goals
and
vision
for
Asheville.
Today
we
enjoy
a
robust
calendar
of
events
that
largely
supports
local
businesses.
We
can
see
how
events
are
helping
form
our
local
supply
and
resource
James.
That
means
seeing
local
farm
foods
in
our
restaurants.
P
Our
food
trucks
are
temporary
food
establishments,
fiber
local
fiber
and
textiles,
helping
all
to
support
Asheville's
local
economy,
we're
beginning
to
see
event,
vendors
moving
from
home
and
temporary
establishments
to
brick
and
mortar
store
fronts
and
we're
seeing
organizers
of
events
opening
their
own
small
businesses.
We
know
that
events
can
be
a
powerful
tool
in
achieving
our
community's
goals,
but
unlike
tools
from
our
toolbox
that
we
use
at
home,
we
need
to
continue
learning
how
to
understand
and
use
them
here
at
work.
P
P
Was
proposed
back
in
2015
two
years
ago
and
land
of
sky
Regional
Council
was
executing
search.
They
were
about
evaluate
proposals
for
projects
that
focused
on
entrepreneurship
through
the
Appalachian
Regional
Commission,
the
city
applied
for
and
received
a
grant
to
execute
that
study.
The
study
began
in
the
summer
of
2016
and
it
was
completed
just
this
past
August
2017.
P
P
S
Endeavor
and
I'm
just
gonna
hit
the
highlights
here
really
quickly,
but
hopefully
you'll
see
that
there
is.
We
did
discover
some
value,
so
let
me
start
with
a
definition:
entrepreneurial
impact
of
Asheville's
outdoor
special
events
when
we're
talking
about
Asheville's
outdoor
special
events,
we're
talking
about
the
larger
festivals,
concerts
and
parades.
Although
we
recognize
the
city
also
helps
out
in
sponsors,
many
other
neighborhood
block
parties,
but
we
did
not
looked
at
in
depth
at
those.
S
So
the
studies
goals
were
one
of
the
benefits
to
Asheville's
outdoor
events
provided
to
participating
businesses.
Can
those
benefits
be
quantified?
Are
there
any
actions
that
can
be
taken
to
assist
these
businesses,
integrate
them
more
fully
into
the
city's
community
economic
development
efforts?
The
methodology
and
brief
was
an
on
began
with
an
online
survey
of
event,
vendors.
S
We
had
a
I,
think
134
respondents
and
then
we
did
50
in-person
interviews
of
event,
vendors
event,
organizers
support
organizations,
and
maybe
we
did
a
fairly
in-depth
research
of
academic
publications
and
Studies
on
the
subject
and
I
think
are
finding
more
than
anything
is
there's
very
little
written
about
this
subject,
and
so
this
is
a
somewhat
groundbreaking.
Actually
so
I
keep
finding
it
at
the
very
top
was
that
exposure
and
marketing
is
the
top
benefit
identified
for
outdoor
events
and
not
on
science
sales.
S
S
Sales
comes
in
a
distant
second
at
57%
and
then
to
support
that
on
the
right
is
another
chart.
What
percentage
of
your
annual
revenue
is
from
on-site
sales
at
Asheville's
outdoor
events
and
as
you
can
clearly
see,
the
the
largest
56%
of
respondents
said
zero
to
10
percent,
so
they
clearly
and
we-
this
came
out
of
the
interviews
as
well.
Exposure
and
marketing
is
by
far
the
biggest
event.
It's
not
sales
sales
are
not
that
important.
S
So,
fortunately,
that
aligns
and
fits
to
a
national
trend.
That's
documented
in
a
lot
of
business
literature,
and
that
is
the
event
and
they've
sorry.
The
exposure
and
marketing
benefit
aligns
with
a
shift
of
many
small
midsize
firms
away
from
traditional
marketing
to
what
is
called
entrepreneurial
marketing
strategies.
On
the
left
handed
slide,
you
can
see
the
characteristics
that
we
identify:
entrepreneurial
marketing,
which
I
think
we'd
all
recognize
I'll,
give
you
a
couple
examples
and
traditional,
which
is
the
top-down
maximum
exposure.
S
So
what
we're
looking
at
with
entrepreneurial
marketing
is
developing
that
personal
relationship,
something
that
I
think
we
all
see
in
small
businesses
and
mid-sized
trying
to
make
that
connection
that
face-to-face
connection
for
several
reasons,
obviously
to
demonstrate
their
products
and
services,
and
it's
just
as
important
it
is
to
gain
insights
from
the
potential
customer
base.
This
is
happening
all
over
the
place
right
now,
and
this
is
sort
of
a
response
to
sterile
online
sales,
which
big
businesses
do
quite
well,
but
obviously
smaller
and
midsize
struggle,
and
this
is
a
minute
of
advantage.
S
They
have
really
developed,
and
it
just
so
happens
that
outdoor
events
serve
that
need
in
that
purpose.
One
example
that
I
can
think
of
when
are
fifty
different
interviews
was
we
have
a
local
manufacturer
by
the
way,
15%
or
14%
of
vendors,
that
we
interviewed
were
manufacturers,
which
was
surprising,
but
this
was
a
manufacturer
of
outdoor
camping
gear
tents
and
they
said
they
have
a
hard
time
getting
people
to
commit
to
a
sale
online
when
they
actually
can't
see
or
touch
that
tent.
However,
at
an
event
they
can
set
that
tent
up.
S
They
can
ask
people
to
play
with
it
touch
it
lay
in
it
pretend
they're,
camping
and
they've
tracked
a
lot
of
those
contacts
and
said
that
a
couple
days
later,
those
people
actually
do
buy.
So
it's
a
powerful
thing,
it's
something
unique
that
the
outdoor
events
offer,
and
it
just
so
happens
to
meet
the
time
right
now
where
entrepreneurial
marketing
is
so
important.
So
next
we
need
to
quantify
that
benefit,
so
we
know
there's
a
benefit.
We
know.
S
Benefit
why
they
participate
and
there's
a
small
body
of
research
we
found
primarily
and
unsurprisingly,
dealing
with
farmers
and
farmers
markets
that
indicate
that
businesses
that
participate
in
face-to-face
outdoor
direct-to-consumer
marketing
enjoy
an
estimated
annual
sales
premium
of
about
3.9
percent
over
businesses
that
do
not.
So
this
isn't
sales
at
the
event,
this
is
overall
sales,
so
this
is
participating
in
entrepreneurial
marketing
via
outdoor
events
has
a
3.9
percent
benefit.
E
S
F
S
What
is
that?
2.7
million
dollars
really
mean
it
translates
into
supporting
54
local
jobs,
about
1.5
million
dollars
of
income,
2
million
dollars
of
raised
economic
activity,
which
is
the
activity
in
a
in
and
above
to
simply
the
cost
of
putting
things
together
and
then.
Lastly,
about
a
half
million
dollars
in
tax
revenue
generated
which,
as
you
can
see,
most.
S
S
Businesses
are
we
got
the
information
from
the
event,
organizers
and
believe
me,
one
organizer
didn't
know
what
the
other
event
organizer
did.
So
the
number
one
would
be
to
come
up
with
some
sort
of
place
to
identify
the
vendors
and
begin
networking,
and
so
obviously
this
would
probably
be
some
sort
of
online
directory
that
could
be
put
together
to
say
who
they
are
and
what
they
do.
The.
S
So
that's
the
the
networking
we're
thinking
about
and
then
the
last
one
is
simply
to
integrate
what
we've
come
up
with
so
far
with
community
and
economic
development
efforts,
and
here
again
we're
not
talking
about
anything
too
complex.
And
let
me
just
give
you
a
few
examples
once
we
know
who
they
are
and
what
they
do
and
remember.
We
don't
know
that
now,
then
it
doesn't
take
much
more
to
look
at
some
policies,
for
example,
increasing
minority
or
women-owned
business
participation,
maybe
perhaps
incentivizing
or
encouraging
the
participation
of
more
local
businesses,
more
nonprofits.
S
Was
a
positive
benefit
was
a
completely
undiscovered
benefit.
We
think
it's
pretty
powerful.
We
received
a
lot
of
good
feedback
from
the
entrepreneurs
themselves.
I
could
give
you
another
entire
presentation,
although
it's
outside
of
the
scope
of
who
these
folks
are
but
their
dynamic,
they're
enthusiastic.
They
want
to
participate
and
they're
ready
to
go
and
they
they
are
diverse
beyond
the
imagination.
So,
with
that,
I
will
stop
and
I
would
welcome
any
questions
or
comments.
You
might
have.
G
S
Was
a
question
and
as
I
recall,
it
on
the
range
for
fees
was
as
low
as
75
to
like
$300.
And
surprisingly,
we
didn't
hear
a
lot
of
negative
feedback
on
the
feast,
so
we
didn't
go
there,
but
that
would
be
something
that
immediately
you
would
think
about.
If
that
didn't
seem
to
be
a
problem
that
there's
a
waiting
list
for
a
lot.
That's
by
the
way.
Okay,.
P
That
we've
gotten
this
is
over
the
course
of
the
year
we've
written
for
quarterly
reports
for
the
Fletcher
Regional
Commission
and
sent
those
to
devotion
to
DC.
We
also
presented
a
much
longer
50-minute
study
to
the
international
festivals
and
events
Association
in
Tucson
Arizona
last
month,
but
what
we
know
is
that
we
need
to
focus
on
developing
these
leads.
So
we
have
this
existing
infrastructure
in
ecosystem
for
business
development
in
Asheville.
The
problem
is:
is
that
the
vendors?
Just
simply
because
of
the
way
which
they
conduct
business?
P
P
In
creating
these,
these
directories
and
working
with
other
local
organizations
that
we
already
partner
with
to
create
these
registration
systems
is
to
connect
people
to
the
existing
resources
that
are
out
there.
We
want
to
establish
through
one
of
our
partners
our
financial
services
lead
for
vendors,
so
that
they
can
understand
how
to
grow
their
businesses
from
a
financial
perspective
and
not
biz
works
is
one
of
the
organizations
that
suggests
that
they
could
help
do
that.
P
C
A
E
A
U
I'm
sitting
on
the
the
bonds
they
basically
bond
up
they,
but
also
to
use
the
tools
that
we've
generated
in
with
the
capital
projects
team
to
really
kind
of
promote
the
use
of
those
and
demonstrate
that
the
value
of
these
tools
for
the
public,
as
as
a
really
a
real-time
update
on
a
tool
for
real-time
updates
on
a
bond
and
other
capital
projects.
We
have
been
working
on
this
as
a
group
for
last
total
several
eight
months.
I
guess.
U
I'm,
sorry,
essentially,
you
start
out
with
the
going
to
the
city's
website,
which
is
Asheville,
NC,
gov
and
but
then
you
come
down
to
the
special,
the
city
projects
icon
here
on
the
top.
So
it's
very
easy
to
find
then
at
this
point,
you'll
need
to
go
down
to
bond
project
information
and
then
you'll
see
our
logos
just
fuel.
You,
citizens
have
started
to
see
these
logos
throughout
town.
U
These
are
signifying
bond
projects
and
where
we're
putting
the
bond
dollars
to
the
to
work
in
the
the
various
colors
and
obviously
the
the
words
here
indicate
what
type
of
project
that
is
we
are
making
some
enhancements.
We've
had
some
feedback
from
the
community
that
they
would
like
to
have.
The
may
be
a
little
bit
more
information.
So
if
you
see
a
parks
project-
and
it
has
a
playground
underneath
it-
then
okay,
obviously
a
praying
playground,
but
really
these
link
into
the
communications
tools
that
we
put
together
and
it's
it's
a
the
dot
bond
dashboard.
U
For
CIP
and
bond
projects,
each
one
of
these
subcategories
has
its
own
a
link
to
its
it.
It's
version
of
the
dashboard,
it's
the
same
dashboard,
but
essentially
it's
pre-selected
for
the.
What's
your
if
you're
looking
for
parks,
its
parks,
bonds
projects,
it's
pre-selected
for
bonds,
this
one
I
opened
up
is
the
entire
project
list,
and
it's
not
selected
for
bonds
in
this
case,
but
so.
A
U
U
So
you
select
that
button
right
there.
It
pulls
up
the
bonds
and
it
indicates
74
million
dollars
spent.
This
is
a
this
is
the
where
the
real
time
information
starts
to
starts
to
apply
is
that
we
are
updating
this
periodically,
but
this
we
have
connected
this
to
our
financial
management
system,
so
the
information
that's
being
pulled
into
this
is
automatic.
It's
it's
automated.
So
what
we're?
When
we
have
an
invoice?
It's
process,
that's
in
the
financial
management
system
next
time
this
is
updated
that
pulls
that
information
at
some
point
in
the
future.
We're
still.
U
Effective
but
like
to
make
it
more
real
time
than
this,
so
essentially
what
you'll
see
all
of
the
bond
projects,
transportation,
housing
and
Parks
I
have
a
sixteen
thousand
dollar
expenditure.
At
this
point,
that's
reflective
of
the
fact
that
we're
really
trying
to
process
all
these.
What
needs
to
be
planned,
we're
playing
what
needs
to
be
designed
we're
designing
very
few
of
them
are
in
construction,
but
the
value
of
this
tool
is
that
you
can
see
that
the
icons
on
the
left-hand
side
here
are
trees,
indicate
parks.
The
B
indicates
a
bond.
U
The
house
is,
is
the
pausing
projects,
the
B
again
is
the
bond
and
the
bus
as
the
transportation
projects
and
so
forth.
What
you'll
see
is
that,
where
they're
located
throughout
the
city,
if
there's
a
city
wide
its
packaged,
for
example,
the
bus
shelters
or
the
playground,
so
then
that
sort
of
thing
you'll
see
what
phase
of
the
process
it's
in
the
phases
that
we
have
in
these
project
that
we've
we've
established
our
planning.
H
U
U
U
V
E
U
Staff
has
done
in
trying
to
establish
what
we
sat
down,
trying
to
figure
out
what
people
might
want
to
see
in
these
projects.
This
the
last
version
I,
showed
it
was
a
little
less
information
rich
this
one
here
is.
It
has
a
little
bit
more
information.
You
can
see
again
that
this
is
this
is
the
area
where
you'll
see
the
progress
of
the
project.
U
All
of
these
points
indicate,
but
where
bus
shelters
will
be
constructed
total
budget
for
the
for
this
bus,
shelter,
project,
we'd,
five
hundred
thousand
and
Spence
a
day
is
eleven
thousand
one
hundred
sixteen
dollars
plan
to
complete
this
project
through
this
time
frame,
and
then
also
we
paid
staff
contact
on
here.
If
you've
got
a
good
question,
we
understand
that
a
lot
of
case
some
cases
this.
This
won't
answer
all
of
the
questions,
so
we
always
encourage
people
to
go
here.
U
First,
see
if
that
will
answer
your
question
and
then
contact
staff
as
necessary
again
and
then.
The
other
thing
that
we
can
do
is
highlight
just
the
independent
independent
categories.
We
can
see
that
the
bond
is
thirty,
two
million
that
you'd
see
that
twelve
thousand
dollars,
the
majority
of
which
is
bus,
shelters,
do
the
same
thing
for
housing:
twenty
five
million
dollars
it's
set
aside
for
that
and
zero
is
spent
today.
That
is
in
the
process
of
planning
again,
and
that's
that's
going
to
look
at
the
the
due.
U
That
were
identified
for
affordable
housing
parks.
You
can
do
the
same
thing:
seventeen
million
here
we
have
had
a
little
bit
more
activity.
Some
of
these
projects
were
pretty
far
down
the
planning
in
the
planning
process,
and
so
you
can
see
that
a
lot
of
these
are
in
design
and
have
been,
and
yet
not
a
lots
been
spent
at
this
point
or
early
parts
of
designing
it's
a
four
thousand
dollars
spent.
U
No
other
functions
of
this
are
UK.
If
you'd
like
to
see
a
bond
project
in
your
neighborhood
to
a
zero
three,
if
there's
not
a
park
on
there,
so,
but
you
can
go
to
transportation,
you
can
see
where
those
projects
are
for
what
phase
of
the
process
they're
in
and
the
dollars
associated.
With
that
one
other
thing
we've
done
and
and
your
it
was
mentioned
that
this
hundred
sixty
four
million
is
the
capital.
The
other
capital
projects
that
are
listed
here,
I
need
to
clarify
that
this
is
not
comprehensive.
U
We
don't
have
the
water
table
still
March.
There
isn't
intensive
to
include
those.
We
just
really
wanted
to
try
to
start
getting
some
information
out
there,
and
so
you
can.
You
can
look
this
this
with
the
bonds
click
off
all
of
the
projects
identified
clear
that
and
and
then
you
can
search
one
by
project
name
to
subrata,
Broadway,
vaulted
sidewalks
come.
U
Seen
this
project
completed
at
the
corner
right
there
Broadway
with
the
vaulted
sidewalks,
it
was
a
pretty
bad
shape.
This
project
is
complete.
It
shows
that
the
budget
price
for
the
sort
of
the
budget
for
this
project
was
250,000.
We've
got
great
bids
on
this
project
and
have
been
able
to
complete
this
project
for
$163,000.
B
E
U
U
Before
the
referendum
before
they
were
advertised
or
promoted,
the
this
this
map
includes
all
these
points
on
the
map
are
related
to
projects
which
are
in
the
dashboard.
You
can
individually
go
to
the
transportation
projects
and
a
lot
here
because
of
the
package
with
the
bus,
shelters
and
road
resurfacing
parks
throughout
the
city,
and
then
the
affordable
housing
sites
function.
U
U
E
U
U
Meetings
and
potential
concepts
and
so
forth
with
projects
so
I
can
I
can
use
the
tool
to
go
into
individual
projects,
there's
the
reason
the
route.
One
of
the
reason
for
this
was
that
there
are
so
many
in
with
the
addition
of
the
bonds.
The
bond
projects
there's
so
many
additional
projects
to
sit
and
just
give
a
item-by-item
projects
gets
pretty
pretty
lengthy,
so
being
able
to
have
this
information
out
there
available
to
people
really.
U
G
C
G
So
yeah,
it's
it's
fabulous.
This
second
time,
I've
seen
this
presentation.
It's
great
I
mean
I,
really
think
it
will
help
the
citizens
understand
what's
going
on
and
shows
how
transparent
the
city
is
trying
to
be
so.
The
individual
project
managers
can
actually
go
and
update
their
own
or
do
they
have
to
like
go
through
the
IT
department?
No.
U
That's
a
great
question:
we
have
designed
this
to
where
it's
it's,
it's
we're
trying
to
make
it
part
of
the
project
management
process,
and
so
the
individual
project
managers
do
have
access.
This
information
is
fed
off
of
a
Google
sheet,
and
so
really
what
this
is
looking
at
is
that
that
spreadsheet
and
pulling
that
information
into
here,
munis
there's
a
connection,
an
automated
link
there
that,
as
it's
updated,
it
will
it'll,
update
the
financial
information
and
that
information
is
stored
in
that
sheet
and
pulled
into
here.
U
U
We've
expanded
licenses
on
that
it's
a
fairly
low
cost,
but
it
does
give
us
the
access
to
just
it's
collaborative
and
it
allows
us
to
really
be
make
changes
and
reflect
the
the
status
of
project
day-to-day
and
so
it
updates
from.
But
ite
is
involved
in
the
development,
but
they're
not
involved
in
the
updates.
That's
creates
that
staff
then.
C
A
U
U
Dashboard
very,
very
simply,
and
capital
projects,
Department
it'll,
take
you
to
that
link
right
there,
so
you
can
search
that
on
the
main
page.
We
have
soft
launch
this,
which
I've
learned
new
terminology,
which
means
it's
just
out
there,
but
we
do
plan
on
having
that
larger,
have
some
to
market
this
out
via
social
media
and
to
other
other
other
other
media
outlets.
Great.
F
A
Thank
you,
okay.
Thank
you
all
very
good,
very
much
great
work.
That
concludes
our
presentation.
Some
reports
for
tonight
we
have
several
items
on
our
public
hearings
agenda.
However,
the
first
item
has
been
withdrawn.
So
item
a
has
been
withdrawn.
The
second
item
B,
is
connected
to
item
C
and
Alan.
Glines
is
here
to
present
both
those
items
to
us.
A
E
X
X
This
district
was
about
three
years
ago
now.
We've
had
time
since
then
to
work
with
developers.
Review
plans,
discuss
workings
of
the
code
with
architects
and
property
owners,
folks
who
are
doing
renovations
all
over
the
quarter.
The
quarter
has
grown
a
lot
in
that
period
of
time.
It's
expanded.
We've
had
lots
of
new
businesses.
It's
been
a
very
lot
of
energy
and
investments
happen
along
the
corridor.
Very
happy
about
that.
X
X
Are
in
the
realm
of
numerical
restrictions
or
requirements,
and
setbacks
and
percentages
of
fenestration,
some
other
details
like
that.
So
we
felt
that
if,
if
we
could
provide
some
flexibility
and
some
changes,
it
would
make
it
a
little
easier
to
and
reasonable
to
redevelop
some
of
these
properties
or
develop
new
new
buildings.
X
We
have
reviewed
this
several
times
with
the
West
Asheville
Business
Association
there
they're
interested
in
this
topic.
Of
course
they
helped
to
formulate
the
original
ordinance
back.
In
the
day,
we
have
a
very
small
number
of
recommend
recommended
changes
to
the
use
table
itself,
some
clarifications
about
setbacks
and
requirements,
away
from
power
lines
and
other
things
that
are
just
there
and
there's
nothing
any
way.
Any
developer
could
do
about
the
power
lines
that
transmission
lines
that
move
through
that
area.
Also,
the
roadway
is
a
d-o-t
Road.
X
B
X
X
Bill
to
zones,
building
setbacks,
outdoor
amenity,
space
percentages,
building
height
allowances,
they're,
actually
some
minimum
height
standards,
and
so
we
want
to
become
more
flexible
and
allowing
them
to
be
a
little
bit
shorter
floor
to
floor
building,
fenestration
detailing,
which
is
windows,
doors
and
other
openings.
The
streetscape
and
other
step
backs.
X
The
goal
of
this
entire
ordinance
is
to
encourage
the
development
of
a
robust
mixed
use,
district
that
is,
transit,
oriented
pedestrian
oriented
multimodal
in
its
implementation
with
buildings
that
are
built
right
to
the
street,
encouraging
mixed-use
buildings,
commercial
expansion,
residential
units
among
a
variety
of
commercial
activities.
So
that's
what
the
whole
goal
is
and
the
planning
Zoning
Commission
recommended
approval
of
that.
X
X
X
The
area
that
we're
considering
that
you
all
are
have
for
consideration
today.
It's
just
the
area
below
Beecham's
curve
down
to
the
river
beginning
at
bambbles
and
heading
down
from
there,
and
here's
a
detailed
map
call
exhibit
a
map.
The
areas
that
are
highlighted
would
be
we're,
considering
a
change
from
the
current
hr5
live-work
district
to
HR
for
traditional
district
and
here's
another
map.
There's
a
few
some
development
in
this
area.
This
is
whole
donut.
X
This
is
the
Dyer
building
the
brand
new
tire
building,
there's
Antti
parcels
here,
there's
a
few
other
commercial
uses,
there's
a
lot
of
undeveloped,
Park
property,
Southside,
Haywood,
Road
and
then
another
graphic,
the
other.
The
district
we
are
seeking
to
go
into
HR
for
traditional
is
just
up
the
corridor,
a
slight
bit
heading
to
beach,
obscure
here,
and
so
as
the
properties
below
that
the
live
work.
District
is,
is
limited
and
what's
allowed
to
happen
here,
it's
primarily
residential
with
some
allowances
for
studio
spaces
and
small
businesses.
X
Was
we
had?
We
did
a
market
study
through
the
forum
based
code
work,
and
there
was
some
concern
that
there
would
be
such
a
long
quarter
with
two
and
a
half
miles
too
much
of
an
area
to
encourage
investment
in
and
that
we
might
result
in
vacant
parcels
that
would
sort
of
dim
the
energy
happening
on
pay
would
throw
it
all
together
with
just
not
enough
redevelopment.
X
Well,
since
the
three
years
has
happened,
we've
had
the
new
building
has
opened
up,
we've
had
lots
of
energy
and
River
arts,
district,
downtown
and
other
parts
of
Haywood
Road.
It's
actually
come
around
the
corner
just
this
year
and
there's
new
businesses
at
the
top
that
just
opened
up.
So
we
see.
We
think
that
this
live
work.
X
X
The
associated
adjacent
districts,
so
one
thing
I've
heard
since
we've
been
working
on
this
part
of
the
proposal-
is
that
expanding
the
opportunities
for
business
includes
things
like
lodging
and
short-term
rentals
are
a
component
of
logic
could
also
allow
a
lot
of
other
uses,
other
commercial
uses
or
restaurants
and
other
things.
But
the
thing
that
has
been
discussed
most
recently
has
been
the
short-term
rental
or
lodging
use.
So
that's
something
for
your
consideration.
X
It
would
in
a
sense,
expand
it
because
this
area
doesn't
allow
it
today,
but
it
would
if
the
zoning
was
approved,
as
is
so
I
offer
that
to
you
for
consideration
this.
This
rezoning
effort
was
recommended
for
approval
at
the
planning
zoning
commission
as
well,
and
we
had
some
property
owners
at
that
time
who
were
in
support,
who
were
kind
of
affected
by
the
change.
I,
don't
know
if
they
heard
tonight
so.
A
C
H
C
E
X
Rest
of
the
district-
this
is
from
the
use
table
that
you
all
have
access
to,
and
it's
clarifying
you
know
back
in
February,
you
all
made
the
adjustment
to
21
rooms
or
more
guest
rooms
and
less
than
2020
laughs
into
a
new
threshold.
So
we
introduced
this
to
the
ordinance,
but
basically
lodgings
allowed
along
the
corridor
the
whole
way
all
those
districts
except
for
live
work.
So
that's
that's
really
how
the
code
is
were
set
up
today.
X
X
X
The
the
original
code
requires
parking
for
new
developments,
but
did
not
allow
it
as
a
standalone
use.
So
there's
a
lot
of
different
parcels
on
Haywood
Road.
Some
of
them
could
be
improved
for
parking
and
parking
tends
to
be
an
interim
use
for
other
development
to
happen.
But
we
have
this
thing
where
we're
requiring
parking
but
didn't
permit
the
parking
lots
separate
from
a
mixed-use
site.
If
you
will
on.
C
B
Are
some
of
us
on
council,
and
certainly
people
in
the
community
who
would
like
to
ban
all
whole
house?
Short-Term
rentals
is-
and
this
is
sort
of
the
separate
from
this
but
I
think
there'd
be
interest
in
finding
a
way
to
separate
residential,
have
homes
from
other
types
of
lodging.
And
you
know
like.
B
Yeah
I
mean
that's
it's
it's
a
goal,
I'm
interested
in
at
some
point.
You
know,
I
mean
like,
for
instance,
downtown
condominiums
could
would
maybe
not
be
able
to
be
read
at
short
term.
I,
don't
know.
That's
just
that's
one
element
of
this
that
I'm
not
real
comfortable
with,
is
extending
that
whole
house
to
this
area.
So.
X
We
could
have
some
form
of
traditional
in
this
area
that
does
not
permit
the
lodging
use,
allow
all
the
other
uses,
so
it
might
be
right
now
we
have
six
districts,
you
might
end
up
a
seven
and
that
one
district
might
apply
here
on
the
in
the
record.
We
would
keep
live
work
because
actually
live
work
could
be
helpful
as
a
transition
from
some
areas
of
the
corridor
and
neighborhoods
behind
them.
X
Colluding
lodging
and
I'm
afraid
that
we
did
not
anticipate
that
at
for
our
Planning
and
Zoning
Commission
effort,
so
we
would
have
to
go
back
if
you
chose
to
send
us
in
that
direction.
We
would
need
to
review
it
with
the
plan
design
Commission
and
we
could
do
it
next
month
and
then
come
back
to
Council.
C
A
C
X
X
C
I
mean
I
think
you
know
what
we've
been
hearing
today,
as
news
of
this
has
gotten
out,
as
people
have
seen
it
on
the
agenda,
is
you
know
for
the
particular
area?
That's
that
you're
proposing
to
rezone
is
you
know
this
is
right,
adjacent
to
a
neighborhood
area,
and
but
that
is
true
for
the
entire
court.
What's.
C
Y
Q
X
X
The
depth
of
Lots
is
really
different
up
here
on
the
straightaway
of
Labor
Road
they're,
just
deeper
Lots
in
general,
and
when
you
get
on
this
section
down
below
it's
a
little
different
because
it
is
shallower
and
there's
one
other
component
about
this
part
of
Haywood
brothers
at
the
lower
side
below
beachings
curve.
There's
no
opportunity
for
on
the
street
parking,
and
so
everyone's
gonna
need
to
park
for
their
uses
on
their
property
or
share
a
spot
with.
R
A
R
B
R
R
And
in
hearing
what
y'all
are
saying
tonight
and
in
talking
with
community
members
and
council
members
and
the
conversation
that
we
had
regarding
the
arts
district
for
basecoat
as
well,
it
becomes
clear
that
this
is
the
direction
that
council
is
headed.
So
one
thing
I
just
like
to
be.
As
far
as
future
zoning
changes
coming
forward,
the
more
heads-up
we
can
get
about
lodging
uses
within
those
zoning
pieces.
The
better
I
think
it'll
save
us
all
some
heartache
and
headache
on
the
way
here
and
further.
R
These
broader
conversations
around
the
areas
where
it's,
where
those
whole-house
short-term
rental
vacation
house
stuff,
is
currently
legal.
That
conversation
is
more
complicated,
obviously
because
there's
people
who
have
come
in
under
the
rules
and
are
using
this
use
and
I
wouldn't
want
to
be
punitive
towards
folks
who
abided
by
the
rules
and
did
what
they
were
asked
to
do
so
in
trying
to
figure
that
out.
That
sounds
like
a
more
complicated
conversation,
so
I
just
want
to
put
that
out
there
as
a
consideration
as
well
and
well.
R
It's
not
legal
and
they
don't
give
a
rip
about
the
law.
At
this
point
they
don't
give
a
rip
about
our
housing
shortage
or
our
affordable
housing
situation,
and
so
what
I?
What
I
need
to
understand
is
how
we're
gonna
get
to
zero
on
these
illegal
whole-house,
short-term
rentals
that
are
negatively
impact.
Our
housing
stock
citywide
we're
we've
been
making
some
progress.
That
said,
I
think
we
buy
deep
where
these
things
are
I
think
we
know
where
they
are
who's
doing.
What
and
I
guess
my
question
will
be.
It
doesn't
have
to
happen
tonight.
A
C
O
We've
got
a
lot
of
things
going
on
here.
We've
got
all
these
different
corridors
in
the
city
that
are
experiencing
growth
exponentially
to
the
extent
where
some
of
these
uses
have
are
already
going
on
and
we're
wrestling
with.
You
know
some
of
the
things
that
Gordon
talked
about.
You
know
how
do
we
get
down
to
2-0
with
the
enforcement
aspect
of
it?
I
think
there's
some
marginal
questions
to
this.
Some
things
that
concern
me
is
that
we
continue
to
deal
with
these
things
piecemeal.
O
You
know
kind
of
like
we
did
with
the
rad
and
what
we're
doing
now
with
the
Haywood
Road
corridor.
I
would
totally
like
to
see
us
to
deal
with
these
issues
on
a
citywide
basis
and
try
to
bring
some
continuity
to
the
whole
situation,
so
it
would
be
I'm
clearly
happy
with
this
going
back
to
where
it
needs
to
go
back
to,
but
overall
I
would
love
to
see
us
tackle
in
the
future.
O
How
we
deal
with
short-term
rentals,
how
we
possibly
may
deal
with
ad
use
and
whole
house
rentals
as
a
whole,
so
there's
some
sort
of
not
necessarily
a
blanket
way
to
deal
with
it,
but
at
least
some
sort
of
continuity
that
keeps
people
we
have
the
balance
between
neighborhoods
and
businesses
and
and
how
do
we
bring
those
things
together?
So
hopefully
we
will
go
on
that
track
as
well.
G
G
C
You
know
right
now:
short-term
rentals
are
under
lodging
and
and
I.
Don't
so
I
don't
think
we're
trying
to
stop.
You
know
like,
like
you
know,
bond
Paul
and
Sharky's
out
in
West
Asheville
we're
not
trying
to
make
those
hostels
and
lands
and
we're
not
trying
to
make
all
lodging
more
difficult.
I
think
it
really
is
pointed
at
short-term
rentals.
C
So
my
question
kind
of
to
the
planning
staff
and
Robins
and
Robin
would
be:
is
there
a
way
to
break
out
short-term
rentals
from
other
lodging
and
because
that
that
seems
to
be
our
more
of
our
target
than
small
hotels,
I
mean
we
got
to
that
number
of
20?
For
a
reason,
we
were
okay
with
small
hotels,
boutique
hotels,
small
things
like
that,
but
it.
V
A
R
Regards
to
all
this
work
that
y'all
have
done
Allen,
okay,
this
is
great
everything.
Every
other
piece
of
this
is
looking
really
good.
One
of
my
hesitations
around
form-based
code
in
general
was
my
concern
that
it
wouldn't
allow
for
innovative
building
and
for
the
creativity
that
is
as
part
of
the
hallmark
of
our
city
and
so
to
see
that
what
you're
doing
here
is
adjusting
to
allow
for
even
more
of
that
I
think
is
great,
and
the
only
thing
that
I've
got
is
this
one
piece
of
that.
A
A
W
Stevenage
live
in
East
West,
Nashville,
Michigan
Avenue,
outside
of
the
change
from
four
to
five,
but
around
Beatrice
curve
specific
around
lodging
facility
and
appreciate
council.
The
sign
take
a
step
back
on
this
and
take
a
bigger,
bigger
picture.
Look
two
things
I
want
to
specifically
say
around
the
east-west
Asheville's
vision
that
was
adopted
by
a
fairly
large
population,
voted
on
that
and
participated
in
the
process:
single
family
character
of
East
West,
Asheville
neighborhoods.
It's
preserved
as
a
key
thing
for
us.
W
East
West
Asheville
is
economically
and
demographically,
diverse,
safe
and
our
safe
environment,
neighborhood
or
streets,
each
displaying
unique
character
with
residents
and
local
businesses.
They're
engaged
with
local
businesses
that
are
engaged
actively,
supporting
and
contributing
to
our
community
I.
Think,
overall,
with
the
the
what
could
happen
with
the
under
twenty
short
term.
Rentals
I've
seen
three
sets
of
plans
for
stretch
of
Haywood
Road
now
in
our
neighborhood
I.
Do
acknowledge
folks
for
coming
out
and
doing
that.
W
A
W
Z
Z
It'll
be
kind
of
comical
that
that
way,
actually
I'm
here
today
to
speak
on
behalf
of
wok
of
Asheville
voters,
who
have
been
negatively
impacted
by
the
alarmingly
rapid
expansion
of
short-term
rentals
in
our
city.
Correct
me,
if
I'm
wrong,
but
it
is
my
understanding
that
the
property
is
being
considered
for
rezoning
today
could
be
opened
up
to
short
term
rental
businesses
like
Airbnb
I'm,
not
entirely
sure,
because
the
language
regarding
this
subject
was
buried.
Z
44
pages
deep
into
the
rezoning
documentation,
its
remand,
an
ambiguous
language,
considering
how
important
housing
is
to
the
citizens
of
Nashville
is
the
shame
that
further
expansions
of
short-term
rentals
are
announced
clearly
at
the
beginning
of
Zoning
documentation
and
on
the
council
agenda
itself.
So
thank
you
for
bringing
that
up,
because
that
is
exactly
what
I
wanted
to
talk
about
today.
Z
Again
to
plead
on
behalf
of
the
renters
of
Asheville,
they
do
not
expand
home.
Short-Term
rentals
into
new
sections
of
town
people
are
being
evicted
from
their
homes.
Other
people
who
are
lucky
enough
to
remain
in
their
homes
are
watching
the
rents
increase
radically
I'm,
currently
collecting
stories
and
testimonials
from
different
runners
around
town
present
them
to
Council.
At
the
next
meeting
that
this
comes
up.
Thank
you
could.
T
My
colleagues,
property
old,
hey,
Woodrow,
there
that's
affected
I.
Think
the
one
to
the
HR
for
traditional
would
be
a
positive
thing
for
the
area.
I
believe
it's
time
for
that,
so
I
think
I
think
it
would
be
good
rezoning
and
the
other
thing
I
had
I'm,
not
sure
why
y'all
seem
to
make
up
your
mind
immediately
to
kick
it
back
before
you
heard
public
comment
with
us.
T
AA
A
AA
Well,
I
would
like
to
suggest
that
that
the
same
restrictions
should
somehow
be
applied
downtown
because
otherwise,
what
you
risk
is
turning
downtown
into
more
of
a
tourist
area
than
it
already
is
in
that
very
often
you
have
people
who
live
downtown
part
of
the
year
who
spend
their
time
elsewhere.
I
can
understand
why
they
might
like
to
make
out
your
money
when
they're
not
there,
but
at
the
same
time
we
already
have.
AA
Besides
the
hotels,
we
have
an
increasing
tourist
population
if
we
want
downtown
to
be
a
residential
neighborhood
and
increase
the
the
residential
population
and
make
it
more
stable.
Rather
than
have
people
come
in
and
out,
who
don't
really
have
any
concern,
except
to
write
the
pub
cycle
I'd?
Ask
that
there
be
some
consideration
is
to
restricting
short-term
rentals
downtown
as
well.
Thank
you.
A
Anyone
else,
okay,
that
wasn't
a
public
hearing,
so
I'm
not
gonna
close
the
public
hearing.
So
that
concludes
the
public
comment
for
this
piece.
So
to
summarize,
what
what's
happening
here?
We're
gonna
are
we
do
we
have
nods
head
nods
to
send
this
item
back
when
I
say
this
item?
I
am
talking
about
the
section
in
yellow
on
the
map
right
there,
the
rezoning
for
before
us
for
consideration
tonight
going
back
to
pansy
to
look
at
creating
a
seventh
zoning
district
for
the
Haywood
Road
corridor.
A
A
No
lodging
facilities,
20
guest
rooms
or
less
so
see
right
there
that
that's
where
you
capture
a
short-term
rental
and
it's
allowed
and
every
zoning
classification
except
live
work,
which
is
what
this
section
is
currently
zoned.
So
what
we're
asking
staff
to
do
is
create
a
seventh
classification
that
mimics
traditional,
the
blue
one
light
blue
one,
but
remove
the
last
lodging
use,
which
is
lodging
facility.
20
guestrooms
are
less
or
are
we
striking
all
of
those
uses?
Okay,
so
we're
doing
so
just
the
last
line.
C
A
Item
is
the
creation
of
a
seventh
district,
yes,
and
to
cover
this
particular
section
of
Haywood
Road,
and
whether
or
not-
and
we
agree
that
it
should
allow
all
the
uses
that
traditional
zoning
allows,
which
was
what
the
goal
was
tonight,
except
at
least
short-term
rentals.
There's
four
nods
for
that.
R
R
R
V
Right
say
and
look,
and
let
me
say
that
you're
sending
it
back,
because
you
have
an
interest
on
having
pansies
feedback
on
that
right
and
that
you
could.
When
it
comes
back,
you
can
have
a
public
hearing
that
covers
this,
which
is
what
is
before
you
and
those
potential
new
issues.
And
that
way
you
can
decide
whether
you
want
to
adopt
it
like
this
or
or
the
different
way,
and
it
cannot
be
said
that
P
and
Z
did
not
have
the
opportunity
to
review
the
potential
changes
that
you
may
or
may
not
approve.
The
disclosures.
A
A
A
A
A
A
A
A
V
A
Know
and
staff
I
would
just
offer
that
with
this
council
I
think
as
we
look
at
rezoning.
Even
those
short-term
rentals
might
not
be
front
of
mind.
They
are
front
of
mind
for
this
council,
and
so
that's
gonna
be
a
question
every
time
we
are
presented
with
a
rezoning
at
this
point.
Yes,
oh
don't
make
us
and.
A
A
Y
AB
The
subject
properties
located
at
671,
Sand
Hill
Road
in
West
Asheville
heading
west,
towards
the
egg
Candler
neighborhood,
this
particular
rezoning
application
is
a
little
bit
noteworthy
because
I
believe
it
is
the
first
rezoning
application
that
seeks
to
return
to
the
original
zoning
designation
so
prior
to
2013.
This
property
was
oh
darn,
similar
to
the
surrounding
area,
which
is
residential,
multifamily
low
density.
AB
The
property
had
originally
been
developed
for
a
small
church.
The
property
was
subsequently
purchased
and
adaptively
reused
to
be
a
school
of
the
new
Classical
School
in
2013
before
the
school
opened,
the
property
owners
came
before
the
council
for
a
conditional
zoning
application
to
institutional
the
primary
and
really
the
the
only
reason
for
the
rezoning
is
because
the
property
failed
to
meet
one
of
the
basic
development
standards
for
a
school
in
a
residential
district,
which
was
a
two
acre
lot
minimum
lot
size
requirement.
AB
The
property
was
very
close
to
two
acres:
1.9
acres,
to
be
exactly
the
conditional
zoning
application,
provided
some
flexibility
to
allow
the
school
to
proceed.
Despite
not
meeting
that
minimum
standard,
the
property
owners
came
back
before
the
council
two
years
later
in
2015
and
did
an
amendment
to
that
conditional
zoning
for
an
expansion
plan
that
included
in
addition
to
the
existing
building.
The
expansion
has
not
yet
been
performed.
AB
They
are
still
interested
in
that
expansion
at
some
future
date,
but
in
the
meantime,
they've
been
able
to
acquires
an
additional
property
just
to
the
east
of
the
subject:
property
or
the
main
property.
This
allows
the
property
to
reach
that
two
acre
minimum
lot
size,
so
it
now
the
property
would
be
conforming
in
the
RM
six
district.
So
the
applicant
would
like
to
return
to
the
original
straight-armed.
Six
zoning
designation
drop
the
conditional
zoning
designation,
allowing
it
to
be
developed
under
the
basic
standards
and
no
longer
being
encumbered
by
a
conditional
zoning
ordinance.
AB
A
If
the
the
applicants
representative
wants
to
speak,
you
can
I,
don't
know
who
you
are,
but
okay,
all
right
all
right,
I'll
open
the
public
hearing
on
this
item.
If
there's
anyone
wishing
to
speak
on
this
item,
please
let
me
know:
I
will
close
the
public
hearing
on
this
item.
Do
I
have
questions
comments
or
a
motion.
I'll.
G
The
zoning
will
one
support,
Smart
Growth
goals
through
compatible
infill
development
that
takes
advantage
of
existing
infrastructure
and
two
removes
the
ordinance
attached
to
the
property
and
returns
it
to
the
original
zoning
designation,
providing
more
flexibility
for
future
growth
and
development.
Second,.
B
A
A
Second,
all
right,
mush
in
a
second
anyone
wishing
to
speak
on
the
motion
to
continue
item
ii
know
all
those
in
favor,
please
say:
aye
all
right,
any
opposed
all
right.
The
last
item
item
F
is
a
public
hearing
to
consider
substantial
amendment
to
the
2017-18
consolidated
annual
action
plan
for
Community
Development,
Block,
Grant
and
home
funds
to
allocate
twelve
thousand
nine
hundred
twenty-three
to
Asheville
hepatech
for
Humanity
and
$27,988
to
green
opportunities
from
contingency
funds
and
a
resolution
authorizing
a
substantial
amendment
that
I
just
mentioned
all
right.
Q
You
mayor
city
council,
it's
nice
to
stand
in
front
of
you
that
we
had
that
we
can
give
more
money
to
the
folks
we
partner
with.
So
that's
what
this
amendment
will
do.
Actual
habitat
will
have
a
little
more
money
for
their
housing
services
to
work
with
their
families
and
green
opportunities
is
actually
going
to
use
this
money
for
staffing
for
their
new
YouthBuild
grant
that
you
may
have
heard
about.
That
is
a
three-year
grant.
That
is
going
to
bring
substantially
more
construction
training
into
our
community
and
for
their
programs.
Q
So
this
is
a
great
opportunity
to
use
CDBG
funds
to
leverage
into
into
that
new
program.
That's
going
to
be
operated
by
green
opportunities.
The
balance
of
these
funds
can
stay
in
the
contingency
and
then
simply
add
to
the
pot
of
money
available
in
the
1819
funding
cycle.
You
know
we
don't
know
as
always
what
that
1819
funding
cycle
is
going
to
be
from
HUD
standpoint,
but
this
money
is
already
allocated,
so
we
will
definitely
have
these
funds
moving
forward.
A
B
G
A
G
You
very
much
we
conducted
interviews
today
with
the
with
selected
Planning
and
Zoning
Commission
candidates
and
a
very
impressive
group
of
people,
volunteering
to
spend
a
lot
of
time
in
really
long
technical
meetings.
So
we
really
thank
all
the
folks
who
have
an
interest
in
this,
but
unfortunately
we
have
to
narrow
it
down
to
three
people.
G
H
E
H
G
I
I
live
that
Walton
Street,
which
is
a
five
minute:
walk
from
baby
tech
right
down
the
street
from
Asheville,
hi,
I'm,
sure,
you're
familiar
and
for
two
years
that
I've
lived
there
I
watched
residents
on
the
elderly,
school
children,
you
know
high
schoolers
and
a
BTech
students
walk
on
Oh
Oakland,
which
is
the
road
sort
of
if
you're
familiar
with
the
area.
It's
the
road
that
runs
next
to
the
hemlock
building
and
a
BTEC
and
all
around
a
BTEC.
The
roads
were
repaired.
I
You
know
there
were
crosswalks
created
for
the
pedestrians
and
the
Oakland
Road
was
ignored
and
I
know
that
there
are
plans
according
to
the
people
that
I
called
a
transportation
here
in
Asheville
to
repair
that
road,
and
there
are
a
lot
of
potholes
and
about
I,
don't
know
a
couple
of
weeks
ago.
They
repaired
the
potholes.
I
The
potholes
are
back,
but
the
main
reason
that
I'm
here
is
I
watched
people
walk
on
that
road
and
it's
a
very
dangerous
road,
because
there
are
no
sidewalks
and
there,
like
I,
said
they
were
elderly
in
school
children
and
the
road
is
not
even
wide
enough
for
two
cars
to
pass
each
other.
So
there
are
a
lot
of
times,
I've
been
through
there
where
people
race-
and
you
know
you
understand
what
I'm
saying
I
do
not
know
the
formal
way
to
present
this
to
you.
I
So
I
would
ask
if
it's
okay,
to
give
me
guidance,
whether
it
be
through
signatures
on
a
petition
or
a
formal
letter
with
signatures,
because
I
really
think
it's
important.
There
is
a
ninety
I
know,
she's,
probably
older
than
ninety,
because
she
went
to
the
church
on
Walton,
which
used
to
be
a
Catholic
school
or
40s.
I.
Think
and
she
talks
about
how
dangerous
it
is
to
walk
there.
So
I'm
not
gonna
drill
that
into
anybody's
head
I
apologize,
but
I
just
feel
like
my
daughter's
go
to
a
BTEC.
E
A
R
C
I
A
I
More
thing
sure
I
just
wanted
to
say
now:
capital
projects
did
not
pay
me
to
say
this,
but
I
thought
as
a
regular
everyday
Jane.
When
I
saw
the
plan,
it
was
very
simple
and
I
could
understand
it
completely
and
I'm
that
that's
not
even
my
area
of
expertise,
I'm
a
graphic
artist,
so
I
just
wanted.
Add
that
no
well.
A
R
Too
long
but
I
did
want
to.
Let
council
know
