The Harnett County Planning Board met on Monday, June 2, 2014 at 6:30 p.m. in the Administration
Building in Lillington, NC. Board Members present were: Curtis Bullion, Chairman; Kathy Wood, Vice
Chairman; Carnell Robinson, and Alternate Rachel Ray Webb. Planning Services Staff Members present
were: Jay Sikes, Manger of Planning Services; Matt Talbott, Planner I and Teresa Byrd, Planner I and
Recording Secretary.

Proposed Zoning Change: (Tabled from the May 5, 2014 Meeting). Landowner /Applicant: Linda Marie
Natole 1.0 +/- acres; From RA -20R to Commercial; Intersection of Elliott Bridge Road and Bethel Baptist
Road Anderson Creek Township. Jay Sikes presented the application to the board and noted the impact to
the surrounding community was reasonable, due to the requested zoning being similar in nature to
neighboring zoning. Mr. Sikes stated that the requested zoning to commercial was not compatible with the
existing land use classification of Medium Density Residential. However due to sufficient access to the
parcel and it being adjacent to commercially zoned properties, Mr. Sikes recommended that the land use
plan be updated to comply with existing land uses. Mr. Sikes stated that due to the parcel being adjacent to
commercial zoning, that it would maintain the public health, safety and general welfare of the community
and would not have to be evaluated for a small scale rezoning. Mr. Sikes concluded that this rezoning meets
the regulatory documents set forth by Harnett County and staff recommended approval.
Applicant Linda Natole and her tenant Kenneth Lockamy came forth to speak in favor of the application.
No one came forth in opposition.
Chairman Bullion closed the public hearing, had board discussions and read the Standard of Review policy
guidelines to the board. A motion was made by Kathy Wood to rezone the property to commercial, with a
second by Carnell Robinson. There was a unanimous vote by the board to recommend approval of this
rezoning.
Proposed Zoning Change: Landowner / Applicant: Willie Brinkley, Sam Brinkley, Katherleen B. Thomas
& Heirs / Spout Springs Retail Investment, LLC; 47.91 +/- acres; From RA -20R to Commercial; Hwy 24/87
Anderson Creek Township. Jay Sikes presented the application to the board and stated that due to a steady
pace of non - residential development in the area the requested rezoning should not have a negative impact on
the surrounding community. Mr. Sikes stated that the requested zoning to commercial was compatible with
the existing land use classification of Compact Mixed Use and it was there to encourage a different
combination of uses such as commercial. Mr. Sikes stated that the purposed commercial zoning was more
appropriate for this site, due to commercial zoning to the North and South. Mr. Sikes stated it would also
enhance the public health, safety and general welfare of the community and does not need to be evaluated
for a small scale rezoning, due to the size of the acreage. Mr. Sikes concluded that this rezoning meets the
regulatory documents set forth by Harnett County and staff recommended approval.
Applicant Bo Murphy, with WRS Realty came forth to speak in favor of the application. Mr. Murphy stated
there were improvements being made along the Highway and there had been meetings with Harnett County
and NC DOT.
