Martinsville rezoning hearing set for Chatham Heights Road parcels

Martinsville City Council has scheduled a public hearing for Tuesday, May 26, 2026, on a rezoning proposal covering approximately 13.95 acres along Chatham Heights Road and Bob Gregory Street.

The city notice says the parcels would move from Commercial Corridor District and Neighborhood Residential District classifications to Residential Transitional District. The stated purpose is to correct existing non-conforming uses and apply zoning practices that better match the area.

The hearing begins at 7 p.m. in Council Chambers at the Martinsville Municipal Building, 55 W. Church Street. Residents and property owners who want to comment can attend the hearing or send written questions and comments to the city's listed planning contact.

For the Martinsville and Henry County desk, the item is worth watching because it touches a multi-parcel corridor decision rather than a single-lot request. The final council action will determine how those properties are positioned for future residential or transitional use.
