Henderson commission adopts sweeping zoning amendments
Summary
The Henderson Board of Commissioners unanimously adopted Ordinance No. 10-26, which amends multiple sections of the city zoning code affecting definitions, single‑family compatibility standards, and permitted uses across several residential districts.
The Henderson Board of Commissioners voted unanimously April 28 to adopt Ordinance No. 10-26, a multi‑section amendment to the city’s Zoning Ordinance addressing definitions, single‑family residential architectural compatibility standards and permitted uses in several residential districts.
Mayor Bradley S. Staton presided as Commissioner Kelsey Hargis moved adoption and Commissioner Nicholas E. Whitt seconded. The ordinance was read for second reading and approved on a roll‑call vote with all commissioners present voting aye.
The amendments revise Article II (Definitions), Article IV (General Provisions) section 4.22 (single‑family compatibility standards), and several district sections including R‑3 (medium to high density), R‑MH (manufactured home district), AG (agriculture district), Audubon Residential District and R‑SMH (residential subdivided manufactured home district). The text as presented in the meeting record did not list all specific line‑by‑line changes; the commission recorded adoption and directed that the ordinance be affixed with the mayor’s signature and entered in the record.
The ordinance was the only zoning item on the agenda that required formal second reading and adoption at this meeting. The commission took no additional amendments on the floor and did not delay the ordinance for further study.
