The Planning and Zoning Commission is an advisory board to City Council.  The Commission consists of seven members – five City residents appointed by City Council and two residents of the extra-territorial area of the City and appointed by Buncombe County Commissioners. The length of the term of office is three years. Information related to this committee is well-presented on the Asheville City website.  We need citizens to join these meetings and alert the rest of us when the commission begins approving plans that could hurt our neighborhoods.
