Additional Information
On September 8th, the Harnett County Planning Board voted unanimously (5-0) to recommend approval of
this Rezoning application based on the compatibility to the surrounding properties as well as adjacent
zoning district.
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 impact to the surrounding community is reasonable, as the
requested zoning district is similar in nature to neighboring zoning.
Yes No The requested zoning district is COMPATIBLE with the existing Land Use Classification.
REASONING: The requested zoning to RA-30 is compatible with the Land Use
Classification of Municipal Growth area. As per the existing plan, a Municipal Growth
area is meant to encourage uses that would promote a city/ town based development.
Yes No The proposal does ENHANCE or maintain the public health, safety and general welfare.
REASONING: The requested zoning to RA-30 would maintain the public health, safety
and general welfare due to the existing residential uses within the area.
STAFF REPORT Page 4 of 6
Yes No The request is for a SMALL SCALE REZONING and should be evaluated for
reasonableness.
REASONING: The proposed rezoning to RA-30 is immediately adjacent to RA-30 zoned
land, thus the application does not need to be considered a Small Scale
Rezoning.
Suggested Statement-of-Consistency (Staff concludes that…)
As stated in the evaluation, the requested rezoning to RA-30 would not have an unreasonable impact on
the surrounding community and will maintain the public health, safety, and general welfare because of the
existing residential uses on site as well as within the area and the compatibility with neighboring zoning
districts. It is recommended that this rezoning request be APPROVED.
