The Town of Henderson Zoning and Planning functions help guide responsible growth and development while preserving the town’s rural character, natural resources, and quality of life.
Through zoning regulations and planning review, the town works to ensure that land use and development are consistent with local laws, comprehensive planning goals, and New York State requirements. These efforts help balance residential, agricultural, commercial, and recreational needs while protecting public health, safety, and welfare.
The Planning Board reviews development proposals, site plans, subdivisions, and special use permits, while the Zoning Board of Appeals considers requests for variances and interpretations of the zoning code. Together, these boards play a vital role in thoughtful, transparent decision-making for the community.
The Town of Henderson is committed to fair, consistent, and open planning and zoning processes that support sustainable development and long-term community goals.
