Mr. Locklear shared copies of a zoning map for reference because he said the proposed zoning
change Case # PLAN 1910-0001 appears to be a drastic change, however he noted that the recent
Northwest Plan calls for this area to be more of a high dense area. Mr. Locklear also said the
remaining part of Harnett Central Road is zoned RA -20M. He said through all of the planning
principles staff suggests that the first proposed rezoning be approved. Mr. Sikes talked about
opposition to the proposed zoning change Case # PLAN 1910-0001 during the Harnett County
Planning Board meeting. He also reported on discussions with the developer and NCDOT.
Discussions continued regarding traffic concerns in that area.
Mrs. Stewart provided an initial brief overview of the proposed Harnett County's Capital
Improvement Program/Plan (CIP). Staff said this is the county's long-term plan for important
improvements. She said the CIP capital threshold has been raised to $100,000 and projects
below $100,000 will be submitted in the operating budget. Mrs. Stewart listed the new funded
projects in the proposed CIP.
Mrs. Stewart said the Harnett Regional Jetport Terminal Project was moved from funded to
future due to lack of funding. She also noted that the detention center housing unit addition is
not recommended as a recent feasibility study, performed by Budget Director Renee Pascal,
showed no option which would result in net revenue to the county. Mrs. Pascal noted the county
would most likely need a new jail pod in 2031. Last, the Northwest Convenience Center
relocation has been postponed but the new tower is proceeding.

recommended CIP during their upcoming November 18, 2019 regular meeting. The CIP will be
reviewed in detail with commissioners during an upcoming meeting and staff's hopes to have the
CIP adopted by mid-December. Mrs. Stewart also said the Board of Education would need to
submit their projects through the CIP process next year.
The group discussed the status of the new two schools previously approved for funding. Mrs.
Stewart confirmed that the Board of Education is behind on their schedule for the new Erwin
Elementary School. She stressed that County is prepared when the Board of Education is ready
