Hendersonville Planning Commission 9/2/2025

The City of Hendersonville Planning Commission held a meeting on September 2, 2025, primarily focused on land development and zoning matters. A significant portion of the meeting was dedicated to a public hearing and discussion regarding Century Communities' request to annex 32.88 acres into the city limits and rezone the property for a residential development of 61 single-family homes. Community members expressed concerns about traffic congestion, stormwater management, floodplain risks, and the impact on local infrastructure and property values. The developer presented plans including infrastructure improvements such as road widening, sidewalks, and a new parking lot for a nearby rugby facility, along with commitments to meet city design standards. The Planning Commission voted to recommend approval of the annexation and development plan to the Board of Mayor and Aldermen, with conditions and acknowledgment of community concerns. Additionally, the commission reviewed and unanimously approved comprehensive revisions to the city's zoning ordinance and subdivision regulations, which included updates to development standards, accessory building sizes, and signage rules. These policy updates aim to clarify and modernize regulations to better manage growth and development in Hendersonville.
