Commissioners reject Hoopers Creek rezoning
Henderson County commissioners voted 4-1 to deny a request to rezone 13 acres in Hoopers Creek from R2R to the highest density R1. Neighbors argued traffic, school impact, and loss of mountain views would harm Livingston Farms, Cove, and surrounding areas. Commissioner Hill opposed, citing surrounding quarter-acre lots.
