Lillington, NC 27546
September 2, 2014
The Harnett County Planning Board met on Tuesday, September 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, Jay Smith. Planning Services Staff
Members present were: Matt Talbott, Planner I and Teresa Byrd, Planner I and Recording
Secretary.
Chairman Curtis Bullion called the meeting to order and gave the invocation.
August minutes were presented for approval. Carnell Robinson made a motion to approve
the minutes as written with a second by Kathy Wood. There was a unanimous vote to
approve.
Proposed Zoning Change: Landowner /Applicant: Jeffrey Carl Beal; 5.93 +/- acres; From
Commercial to RA -20R; NC Hwy 27 West; Barbecue Township. Matt Talbott 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. Talbott stated that the
requested zoning to residential was not compatible with the existing land use classification of
Low Density Residential. Low Density Residential encourages large lot development and /or
limited development. However, staff feels that this area's land use classification should be
amended during the upcoming Land Use Plan update to comply with the existing uses and lot
sizes. Mr. Talbott stated that due to the parcel being adjacent to RA -20R 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. Talbott concluded that this rezoning meets the
regulatory documents set forth by Harnett County and staff recommended approval.
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 Jay Smith to rezone the property
to RA -20R, with a second by Carnell Robinson. There was a unanimous vote by the board to
recommend approval of this rezoning.
There being no further business, the Planning Board adjourned at 6:55 p.m.
