25-3276 — Schools: Preparatory (K-12 private school with family life center and recreation components) in Orange County, NC
New Horizon Church seeks a conditional rezoning from R-1 (Rural Residential) to NR-CD to correct a zoning inconsistency and add a preparatory school with recreational facilities to the existing church campus, which was originally contemplated in the 2002 master plan. The expansion requires compliance with traffic impact studies, fire and life safety codes, stormwater management, and environmental reviews; emergency services have flagged concerns about single-point access during peak school traffic.
