Having added 40 police officers since 2002 and having answered calls to streamline the UDO with more regulations and code officers to enforce them; the City of Asheville now finds itself in need of a few thousand square feet of expansion. In the near future, staff hopes to rent a couple thousand square feet at a local mall for one-stop customer service and development permitting. The city is also considering combining its park maintenance and purchasing facilities and using the old park maintenance property for affordable housing.
