Board grants Trinity View special‑use permit for 23‑unit expansion at Hendersonville Road site
Summary
The Board approved a planned unit development special‑use permit for Trinity View (Lutheran Retirement Center at Lutheridge Inc.) to add 23 units to an existing senior living facility at 2533 Hendersonville Road, expanding the site from 98 to 121 units with stormwater, retaining‑wall, water‑meter and fire protection conditions.
The Buncombe County Board of Adjustment approved ZPH2026‑000092 on June 10, granting a special‑use permit and planned unit development approval to Trinity View (Lutheran Retirement Center at Lutheridge Inc.) for a 23‑unit expansion at 2533 Hendersonville Road.
Planner Savannah Glantz summarized the application: a 9.47‑acre site served by public water and MSD sewer, with no proposed deviations from the staff‑reviewed plan. Counsel and project witnesses presented technical details: civil engineer Warren Sugg explained grading, retaining walls (roughly 8 to 12 feet at key locations), stormwater controls including a below‑ground storm device, and a new master water meter and RPZ required by the City of Asheville. Sugg also said the addition would raise the facility from 98 existing units to a total of 121 units. The board adopted findings that the project meets special‑use and PUD standards in the Buncombe County zoning ordinance, imposed standard conditions noted in the staff report, and approved the order on the record dated 06/10/2026.
Why it matters: the expansion increases assisted‑living capacity and required technical site improvements (stormwater, retaining walls, water service upgrades and fire protection). The transcript contains detailed engineering testimony and staff‑recommended conditions that will govern construction and permitting steps.
