New Horizon Church - Rezoning — School (K-12th grade educational facility, initial enrollment 120 students K-6th grade, maximum 360 students at full build-out) in Orange County, NC

New Horizon Church requests rezoning of its 50.68-acre property from Rural Residential to Non-Residential Conditional District to permit development of a K-12 school. The rezoning corrects an inconsistency created when the county removed school as a permitted use in R-1 zoning in 2021, despite the church's original 2001 site plan approval contemplating educational facilities as part of its long-term campus development.
