Extraction of mineral resources in a basic and
essential industry which plays an important part in Harnett
County economy. While mining of crushed stone is presently
the most important mining activity in Harnett County, other
mineral products can become important to the economy of the
County. Mining is a peculiar land use in that the location
of mineral deposits will, in part, be determined only after
exploration and discovery in the future. Consequently, the
precise location of zoning districts wherein mining may take
place cannot always be predetermined. Mineral extraction
involves several methoda -- quarrying, open -pit, drilling,
tunneling, etc., each of which affect a neighborhood
environment differently.
Therefore, the Board of Commissioners concludes that
extraction of mineral resources should be encouraged; that
the fundamental purposes and procedures of zoning would be
served beet by adoption of general regulations governing
mining, which apply to all use- specific districts; that the
Board of Adjustment should consider each location proposed
to be mined to determine whether, and under what conditions
or safeguards they should authorize mining by the issuance
of Conditional Use Permits.
