Buncombe County Planning Board Postpones Vote on STR Restrictions for 100 Days
4/24/2024
The Buncombe County, North Carolina, Planning Board on Monday decided to delay a decision on proposed short-term rental (STR) restrictions for at least another 100 days, after more than an hour of public comment during a listening session, as well as months of debate on the topic. Several members of the board cited the need for further study on the issue, including the potential creation of a focus group to hear more from residents who would be affected by the regulations. Planning Board Chair Nancy Waldrop also noted that the board has two new members who need to get up to speed on the issue. County attorney Curt Euler advised the board to delay 100 days, with the option to extend another 100 days when that time expires if they choose to do so.
A special thanks to VRMA members who worked hard to delay this proposal.
