AS ADOPTED BY THE HARNETT COUNTY COMMISSIONERS
ON

AN AMENDMENT TO THE ZONING ORDINANCE OF HARNETT
COUNTY WHICH ADOPTS OFFICIAL ZONING MAPS ADDING CERTAIN
TOWNSHIPS TO THE TERRITORIAL COVERAGE OF THE ZONING ORDINANCE
THAT WHEREAS, on July 18, 1988, the Harnett County Board of Commissioners
adopted the Harnett County Zoning Ordinance which currently covers all unincorporated and non
municipal extra territorial jurisdiction land areas located north of the Cape Fear River in Harnett
County, N.C.; that on September 7, 1999, after a public hearing, said County Commissioners
adopted a 1999 Update to the Harnett County Land Use Plan; that a conclusion and goal of said
comprehensive land use plan was the establishment of land zoning in all areas of Harnett County
including those current unzoned County townships located south of the Cape Fear River; and
WHEREAS, on September 7, 1999, and February 21, 2000, the County Commissioners
adopted a Development Moratorium Ordinance for those unzoned areas of the County; during
this moratorium period the County Commissioners, County Planning Board and County
Planning Department staff had an opportunity to gather information and to obtain public input
regarding various zoning options in the unzoned areas of the County; and
WHEREAS, since the initial adoption of the Moratorium Ordinance on September 7,
1999, the Board of Commissioners has participated in public meetings in each of the six
townships in Harnett County that are either totally unzoned or have unzoned areas in order to
receive public input concerning proposed zoning. In addition, the Board received numerous
petitions, letters and communications from citizens regarding zoning; that the County Planning
Department has researched and mapped current land uses in the unzoned portions of Harnett
County in conjunction with the findings of the 1999 Update to the Harnett County Land Use
Plan, and as a result thereof various drafts of proposed zoning maps were prepared and issued for
public inspection and review. On February 17, 2000, after proper legal notice publication, a
public hearing on proposed zoning was held at the Western Harnett Middle School auditorium
which was attended by approximately 450 citizens where 38 individuals spoke and asked
questions on the record; that all individuals attending said hearing had a fair opportunity to
present their respective views concerning zoning and the proposed zoning maps; and
WHEREAS, as a result of the public input and other research and data compiled by the
County Planning Department staff, the County Planning Board discussed the zoning issues and
maps at its regular meeting on March 7, 2000, and adopted a recommendation to the County
Commissioners which would a)initially establish zoning for all townships located south of the
Cape Fear River and b) adopt as Official Zoning Maps the second draft maps for Upper Little
River, Barbecue, Anderson Creek, Johnsonville and Lillington townships and the first draft map
for Stewart's Creek Township; and
WHEREAS, in consideration of the County Planning Board's recommendation, the 1999
Update to the Harnett County Land Use Plan, land planning research and information compiled
by the County Planning Department staff and the Institute of Government, those purposes in
view set forth in N.C. Gen. Stat. §153A -341, and public input received through various
communications including open meetings and public hearings and pursuant to that zoning grant
of power issued to the Counties in N.C. Gen. Stat. §153A-340 et. seq., the Harnett County Board
of Commissioners have determined that zoning should be established for all land areas (except
incorporated municipalities or their extraterritorial jurisdictions) located in Harnett County south
of the Cape Fear River with the exception of land located in Stewart's Creek Township with
zoning districts as shown on certain township Official Zoning Maps as hereinafter described, and
the Commissioners intend through this Ordinance Amendment to do so.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT ORDAINED AND ENACTED by the Harnett County
Board of Commissioners as follows:
11 That the Zoning Ordinance of Harnett County is hereby amended to add the
following townships located south of the Cape Fear River to the territorial and
jurisdictional coverage of the 1988 Harnett County Ordinance and all amendments
thereto: Upper Little River, Barbecue, Anderson Creek, Johnsonville and
Lillington townships.
2) That the applicable zoning district classifications to apply to said initially zoned
townships are shown on the following described maps which are hereby adopted
as Official Zoning Maps:
a) Official Zoning Map for Upper Little River Township dated June 5, 2000
