Asheville City Council preview: May 13 meeting

Facing a packed agenda, Council will receive an update on its finances at its May 13 meeting as budget writing season kicks into gear.

Also on Council’s plate is discussion of the proposed Swannanoa incorporation and a resolution to change how the city handles event co-sponsorships.

Council will conduct two public hearings, the first to consider an amendment to the Unified Development Ordinance to establish standards for digital billboards. The second will review an amendment to the conditional-zoning ordinance for property located at 1741 Hendersonville Road regarding signage for the Weirbridge Village Project. However, at staff’s behest, this item likely will be postponed until May 27.
