Henderson council approves multiple rezones and plats, holds first readings on two zoning map changes
Summary
The Henderson City Council approved a Planning & Zoning recommendation to rezone 900 East Main to a Planned Development, adopted a second-reading rezone changing two parcels to single-family zoning, and approved several replats and minor plats impacting future residential development. Two other zoning changes were presented on first reading only.
The Henderson City Council voted to accept a Planning and Zoning Commission recommendation to rezone property at 900 East Main Street to a Planned Development and approved a series of replats and minor plats related to new single-family lots.
The action on 900 East Main came after a presentation from city staff member Breidenberg, who said the property owner and applicants want to “turn this into a a planned development where they have a pick, have people come and pick, berries, orchard, things like that, and build a house on that back section” and include an apiary and other uses. Council member Circassie moved to accept the commission’s recommendation; Miss Martin seconded the motion, and the council approved it. The council then conducted a first reading of ordinance 2025-05-01 for that rezone; the first reading requires no final action.
The council also heard a first reading of ordinance 2025-06-01 to amend the zoning map for a parcel owned by the Henderson Soccer Association on FM 728 to institutional zoning; city staff presented the item as a clerical correction and said this was a first reading only.
On a separate land-use matter, council approved the second reading of ordinance 2025-05-02 to change two parcels known as Scalp Crossing from an M-2 medium-density multifamily residential zone to R-1 low-density single-family zoning. City staff confirmed the rezone had been approved previously on first reading and council made the second-reading motion and adopted it.
The council approved a replat of the BIH subdivision to be known as Scout Crossing Subdivision; staff described Parcel 1 as roughly nine acres on the west side of the project with boundaries at Whippoorwill, Ivy and Elm streets and said the replat divides the property into single-family lots that meet the R-1 standard. The motion to approve the replat passed with unanimous voice vote.
Multiple minor plats also passed: a minor plat combining Lots 1 and 2 of Block 7 in the Grama Street subdivision (to enable a single-family house), a minor plat combining Lots 6, 7 and 8 into Lot 6/6A of the Noble Estate (with proposed private-drive access from the end of Tate Street), and a minor subdivision at 900 State Highway 43 for the Cervantes family that separates a structure onto Lot 2 and leaves Lot 1 for potential future development. Each of those items passed on motions from council members and recorded seconds.
Why this matters: the approvals change the zoning map and parcel layouts in multiple parts of Henderson, clearing the way for single-family construction, a planned-development agricultural/retail-use site at East Main, and a clarified institutional designation for the soccer association parcel. Those decisions affect future development patterns, utilities planning and property addresses in affected neighborhoods.
City staff and council members indicated additional review and conditions have been addressed through prior Planning and Zoning hearings and workshops; council made multiple approvals by voice vote.
The council did not take final action on the Henderson Soccer Association zoning item (first reading only) and schedules remain for any further required hearings or ordinance readings.
