Henderson council approves several rezones, including parcel for proposed charter school
Summary
Council unanimously approved multiple rezoning ordinances on June 9, 2025, including a rezoning of 2535 US 1 & Hwy 158 for a proposed charter school presented by Chandra Sledge; no speakers opposed the listed rezonings.
The Henderson City Council on June 9 approved a series of rezoning ordinances affecting commercial and residential parcels across the city.
Council approved Ordinance 25-10 to rezone Vance County parcel #0084 05009 at 1202 E. Andrews Avenue from I2 (Industrial Non-Park) to B2 (Highway Commercial) after a public hearing in which no one spoke for or against the petition.
At a public hearing on parcel #0211 02008 (2535 US 1 & Hwy 158), Chandra Sledge, who serves on the board for the Sledge Institute, asked council to approve rezoning the parcel to allow development of a new charter school. Sledge said the school would start serving K–2 and 6th grade and would later expand to K–12. No opposition spoke and the Council approved Ordinance 25-11 unanimously.
The Council also approved Ordinance 25-12 rezoning five Garrett Road parcels from B2 (Highway Commercial) back to R15M (Moderate to Low Density Residential HUD Code Home). Staff explained that an earlier, likely historical, error had placed the properties in commercial zoning and adjacent owners had been notified as required by law. Ordinance 25-13, rezoning parcel #0061 02010 off Burr Street from B4 to R6 for higher-density residential use, passed after the petitioner Jose Umanzor spoke in favor.
All listed rezoning ordinances passed unanimously, and staff recorded that required notifications to adjacent property owners had been completed where applicable.
Next steps for each rezoning are administrative: the Clerk will record approved ordinances in the Ordinance Book and applicants may proceed with development proposals subject to applicable permitting and conditions.
