List of Town of Weaverville Boards and Committees
ALCOHOLIC BEVERAGES CONTROL BOARD
Pursuant to North Carolina law the Weaverville ABC Board is appointed by Town Council. The board’s mission is to control the sale of spirituous liquor and promote customer-friendly, modern, and efficient stores. This board serves to set policy and adopt rules in conformity with North Carolina’s laws and rules regarding the sale of alcoholic beverages. This board consists of three members.
PLANNING BOARD
The Planning Board is generally responsible for advising Town Council on matters pertaining to land use and planning issues. Subdivision and zoning text amendments and zoning map amendments cannot be considered by Town Council without first receiving a recommendation from the Planning Board. This board also reviews development applications for compliance with subdivision standards and conditional zoning district applications for reasonableness and consistency with the Town’s adopted comprehensive land use plan. This board is required by law and must be comprised of residents of the Town. Town Council appoints all members to this board which consists of five regular members and up to two alternates.
BOARD OF ADJUSTMENT
Under North Carolina law, the Town is required to have a board of adjustment. The Town’s Board of Adjustment consists of five members and up to two alternates, all of whom must be residents of the Town. The Board of Adjustment almost exclusively does its work by hearing and making quasi-judicial decisions on matters such as variance requests, special use permits, and appeals from administrative decisions made in a variety of areas.
The BOA also serves as the Animal Control Appeals Board to hear appeals concerning dangerous animals.
TREE BOARD
Town Council created and appoints members to a Tree Board that consists of seven regular members and up to two alternate members. This board is made up of a majority of Town residents with some members residing outside of Town limits in Buncombe County. The tree board is intended to be a citizen led group, that works with town public officials and staff to improve the health of the urban and community forest within the municipal limits of Weaverville through tree plantings, advocacy, education, management and maintenance activities.

THE RESIDENTS’ PATRIOTIC ACTIVITIES COMMITTEE
The Residents’ Patriotic Activities Committee advises Town Council and staff on the patriotic events within the Town and coordinates the scheduling and programming of those events such as Memorial Day, Patriot’s Day and Veteran’s Day. Councilmember Doug Jackson has been involved with this group for many years and overseen many patriotic events. The Town Manager is also an active participant with this committee.
ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT ADVISORY COMMITTEE
Weaverville enjoys a collaborative group of volunteers known as the Economic Development Advisory Committee (WEDAC) and is open to membership by interested citizens. WEDAC meets monthly at the Weaverville Community Center (4th Tuesday, 9:00am) to discuss new ideas and projects that can enhance and grow our local economy. WEDAC and its sub-committees collaborate with Town Leaders, current and new entrepreneurs, members of the Weaverville Business Association (WBA), the Weaverville Foundation and others to research concepts, raise resources, and deliver exciting economic development initiatives.
ACTIVE WEAVERVILLE & RECREATION ADVISORY COMMITTEE
In May of 2026, Town Council elected to combine the Active Weaverville Committee with the Recreation Advisory Committee.
The Active Weaverville Committee was created in 2023, and the primary purpose of the Active Weaverville Committee is to develop an action plan for implementing the projects proposed in the Pedestrian and Bicycle Plan adopted by the Town.
The adopted Strategic Plan calls for an update to the Parks and Recreation Master Plan as a high priority item.
Weaverville Town Council created the Recreation Advisory Committee in 2017, which serves to advise the Town on issues related to parks, recreation, and greenways, but it has not been engaged in meetings for several years. Reassigning these boards will include the duties of the two boards to broaden their scope and focus on an update to the Parks and Recreation Master Plan.
