Board of Adjustment – June 22, 2026

The City of Asheville's Board of Adjustment held a quasi-judicial meeting on June 22, 2026, primarily to consider a flood variance request related to a historic property at 9 All Souls Crescent. The applicant sought relief from the city's flood hazard reduction standards to allow repair of the historic structure without full compliance, citing preservation of its historic character. Staff presented the case, including details on repair costs, building value, and floodplain compliance requirements. The board discussed and ultimately approved the variance with conditions to ensure flood-resistant materials and elevation standards were met to the maximum extent practicable. No public comments were made, and the board voted unanimously to approve the variance. The meeting concluded with a reminder of the next meeting scheduled for July 27, which will address additional variance and rehearing requests related to building inspections.
