Mark Locklear, Director of Development Services, petitioned the Board for a public hearing on
the proposed rezoning, Landowner/Applicant: Buckhorn Partners, LLC/ Benton Dewar, PLS;
20.95 +/- acres; Pin # 0635-07-4357.000; From RA -40 to RA -30 Zoning District; SR # 1407
(Wade Stephenson Road); Buckhorn Township. Mr. Locklear reported that surrounding land
uses include some major subdivisions in the vicinity, as well as single-family residential lots and
agricultural uses. Services available include Harnett County public water. Mr. Locklear stated
that on January 4, 2021, the Harnett County Planning Board voted unanimously (5-0) to
recommend approval of application based on compatibility to the Land Use Plan and due to the
existing residential uses in the area. No one spoke in opposition.
Mr. Locklear stated staff's evaluation as:
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 same as adjacent properties.
The requested zoning district is COMPATIBLE with the existing Land Use
Classification. REASONING: The requested zoning is compatible with the Land Use
classification of Agricultural and Rural Residential. These areas are typically outside of
public sewer service areas and often within the Water Supply Watershed areas. Lower
density, single-family residential lots greater than 1/2 acre are compliant with these
watershed regulations.
The proposal does ENHANCE or maintain the public health, safety and general welfare.
REASONING: The requested zoning to RA -30, would enhance or maintain the public
health, safety and general welfare due to the existing residential uses within the area.
Suggested Statement -of -Consistency: Staff concludes that the requested rezoning to RA -30
would not have an unreasonable impact on the surrounding community based on the existing
residential uses. Therefore, it is recommended that this rezoning request be approved.
Chairman Matthews called to order a public hearing on the matter and opened the meeting for
comments from the public. Citizens were allowed to speak in person or were allowed to submit
their comments in writing prior to the meeting or to call in and provide their comments verbally
during the meeting.
