Council adopts rezoning from industrial to high‑density multifamily near Lakewood Cemetery
Summary
On second reading, council approved Ordinance 2025‑02‑01 to change zoning for a property on North Van Buren from general industrial to high‑density multi‑family; the item passed on a council vote.
The Henderson City Council adopted Ordinance 2025‑02‑01 on its second reading, changing zoning for a property on North Van Buren—across from Lakewood Cemetery—from general industrial to a high‑density multiple‑family district.
Cheryl, a city staff member presenting the item, said the change follows a minor plat and earlier planning and zoning review and that the second reading required council action. "This is the second reading, so we will need action on this if y'all so," Cheryl said during the meeting.
A council member moved and seconded the ordinance on the floor; the motion passed by voice vote. The rezoning applies to a parcel that staff said had been divided from a larger industrial tract to allow about 1.3 acres for multifamily use while retaining 5.338 acres for industrial zoning.
Because this was an adoption on second reading, the ordinance becomes effective in accordance with the city's ordinance publication rules unless council specifies otherwise.
