About the Planning Process
Planning Process
In 2021, the City of Henderson initiated the preparation of a Comprehensive Plan and Unified Development Ordinance. The first step in the planning process was development of the Comprehensive Plan, which served to identify new and strategic development goals, policies, and public initiatives supported by the community. The City Council adopted the 2022 Comprehensive Plan in June 2022.
The next step is creating a Unified Development Ordinance (UDO). The UDO will consolidate all of the city's existing land development regulations into one user friendly document.
We Want You Involved!
Recognizing that a collaborative effort with the public is essential, the initial step in the planning process was the adoption of a Citizen Participation Plan (CPP) by the Henderson City Council. Approval of the CPP was accomplished on October 11, 2021.
The Henderson City Council appointed the Planning Board to supervise the preparation of the Comprehensive Plan and UDO. The city's staff and consultant serves in an advisory capacity to the Planning Board. As with the Comprehensive Plan, the UDO will be drafted by Insight Planning & Development, the city’s consultant. Final approval will be by the Henderson City Council.
We invite you to come to the Planning Board meetings to provide your questions and comments during the planning process! Please see the Meetings page for information on upcoming meetings to attend and be sure to subscribe below to receive updates about the UDO process directly to your email.
