Planning Board & Zoning Board of Adjustment Board Opening- ETJ  only!

The Town of Fletcher is seeking to fill a vacancy on the Planning Board & Zoning Board of Adjustment. (Members serve dual roles on the one Board). This seat is specifically for the Extra-Territorial Jurisdiction (ETJ) of Fletcher, and ultimately will be appointed by the Henderson County Commissioners.

Functions of the Planning Board include recommendations to the Town Council on applications related to Rezoning, Conditional Rezoning, Special Use Permits, and text amendments to the Town’s Land Development Code. The Board also reviews preliminary plats for major subdivisions as well as design review for projects in the “Heart of Fletcher” Overlay. Functions of the ZBA include quasi-judicial hearings regarding applications for variances and appeals on zoning matters. The Board typically meets once per month, on the 3rd Tuesday at 6:00 PM

Applicants for this ETJ seat will first be reviewed by Council, and a recommendation will be made to the Commissioners, who would then appoint the recommended individual.  Any eligible resident within the ETJ interested in applying may access the application at this link: https://www.fletchernc.org/town-government/town-committees/board-openings/ OR by contacting either the Town Clerk or Planning Director at (828) 687-3985. (You may also call the Planning Director if you are unsure if you live in the ETJ. The included map shows the approximate ETJ is represented by the green hatched area).
