Design Review Committee The Design Review Committee was created to perform design review for all major works in the River District Design Review area, the Central Business District, and hotels outside of those areas. City Council will appoint four members from the Downtown Commission and four members from the Asheville Area Redevelopment Commission (AARRC). There is also a ninth at-large member that is selected by the eight (8) appointed members; this opening is for a member of the public to fulfill that (at-large) seat. Council appointed 7 of the 8 seats on May 11, 2021. A full description of the Committee can be found here.
