PRESS RELEASE:
Open City Hall is a new online citizen engagement tool being used by the City of Asheville to make it easier for residents to provide input on City efforts. So far, more than 1,100 people have given feedback on previous topics.
There are two topics open now through May 8. We’d like to hear from more citizens.

Input needed: This is the final draft. Visit Open City Hall to view the video, check out the plan, and share any feedback you have.
River Arts District form-based code
What: A recommended rezoning intended to address both current and future uses and form in the district.
Resources: You can watch a video of the presentation made at the last public meeting here (scroll to the bottom of the page to watch it). Plus there is background information and a link to the project page.
Input needed: This is the time to really weigh in on the draft code we have available. What do you like? What would you like to see changed? Do you think the proposed heights are appropriate? Visit Open City Hall to view the video, read background and share any feedback you have.
Before you comment
The comments section is here to provide a platform for civil dialogue on the issues we face together as a local community. Xpress is committed to offering this platform for all voices, but when the tone of the discussion gets nasty or strays off topic, we believe many people choose not to participate. Xpress editors are determined to moderate comments to ensure a constructive interchange is maintained. All comments judged not to be in keeping with the spirit of civil discourse will be removed and repeat violators will be banned. See here for our terms of service. Thank you for being part of this effort to promote respectful discussion.
