Evaluation  Yes  No The IMPACT to the adjacent property owners and the surrounding community is reasonable, and the benefits of the rezoning outweigh any potential inconvenience or harm to the community. REASONING: The requested zoning change to Commercial will not have a negative impact on the surrounding properties or the community as it is similar in nature to existing zoning districts in the area.   Yes  No The requested zoning district is COMPATIBLE with the existing Land Use Classification. REASONING: The requested zoning is not compatible with the existing Land Use Classification of Medium Density Residential. The Medium Density Residential classification is to encourage a typical residential uses & lot sizes. However, due to the existing Commercial zoned parcels, as well as the adjacent Rural Development Node, this property’s current land use classification will be requested to be changed during the County’s Land Use Plan update.   Yes  No The proposal does ENHANCE or maintain the public health, safety and general welfare. REASONING: The requested zoning to Commercial, whose intent is to promote the development of business and institutional uses, would enhance the public health, safety, and general welfare due to the neighboring Commercial zoned parcels.   Yes  No The request is for a SMALL SCALE REZONING and should be evaluated for reasonableness REASONING: This request does not need to be evaluated for a small scale rezoning due to the property’s size.   Suggested Statement-of-Consistency (Staff concludes that…) As stated in the evaluation, the requested rezoning to Commercial is compatible with Harnett County regulatory documents and would not have an unreasonable impact on the surrounding community and will enhance the public health, safety, and general welfare because this zoning district is intended to promote the development of business and institutional uses. It is recommended that this rezoning request be APPROVED.
