I like living in a single family residential area. I don’t want to see homes in my neighborhood converted into three or four unit rental properties. There are places where higher density is appropriate such as the current areas zoned Residential Multi-Family, RM-6, RM-8 and RM-16 Residential Multi-Family. Converting an RS-2, RS-4 or RS-8 into multi-family with three or four units should be open to public discussion and review at the Planning Board and City Council.
If the proposed changes to the USSR are approved as written this essentially strips single family residential neighborhoods of this classification. All residential areas will be free zones for developers to build multi-unit residences and double the density allowed by the current zoning if they meet the “affordable” or “Sustainable” development criteria.
Where can I live in Asheville knowing the property next to mine will not be converted into a four unit apartment complex under this revision? edited 21:23, 22 Jun 2010
Under the proposed changes there will be no place in Asheville to live in a single family neighborhood. We have single family residential zones and multi-family residential zones currently. This proposal seeks to make all residential zoning multi-family. How does this make sense? We might as well rezone everything multi-family.
There is a distinct difference living next to a multi-unit apartment and owner occupied single family homes. Zoning helps people know what types of development are likely to be built or allowed next to them when they purchase a property. This proposal goes way too far by essentially eliminating single family residential.
There will be no single family residential if the USSR changes are approved – all residential property is a staff decision away from being a four unit apartment building.
