Read the motion as recorded
“Councilwoman Roney moved to approve the conditional zoning request for the property located at 990 Tunnel Rd. from Residential Multi-family, Low Density (RM-6) to Office II Conditional Zone (O2-CZ) with an amendment to the Future Land Use Map of the Living Asheville Comprehensive Plan from Residential Neighborhood to Traditional Corridor and find that the request is reasonable, is in the public interest, is consistent with the city’s comprehensive plan or other adopted plans, and meets the development needs of the community in that the request: 1) promotes health and wellness by supporting medical facilities in proximity to neighborhoods; 2) encourages responsible growth by prioritizing development in areas targeted for growth; and, 3) supports the development of an underutilized site.”
