Affordable housing lot-size relief in Maryville/Ashleyville
Charleston
Summary
Charleston Affordable Development Group is asking the board to reconsider its denial of permission to build a single-family house on a 2,773-square-foot lot — well under the 6,000-square-foot minimum — in the historic Maryville/Ashleyville community. The case sits at the intersection of affordability goals and neighborhood zoning standards.
