Board of Adjustment | May 13, 2026

The Buncombe County Board of Adjustment held its regular meeting on May 13, 2026, focusing primarily on land use and development applications. Key procurement-related discussions included the approval of a special use permit for a 60-unit affordable senior housing development at Crescent Place, with conditions ensuring affordability for 15 years and adherence to site plans. The board also addressed a request for standing related to a 305-unit apartment development, ultimately granting a 60-day continuance to allow the objecting party time to retain engineering experts to assess potential impacts. Additionally, the board approved a variance and special use permit for a 150-foot telecommunications tower by Southern Towers, including conditions for site plan permits and compliance with FAA regulations. The meeting concluded with discussions about scheduling additional meetings to address a backlog of cases. No direct contract awards or vendor selections were reported, but several development projects with potential procurement implications were reviewed and approved.
