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: In the vicinity of the subject property, non-residential development has progressed at a stable pace. 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 certain 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 compatible with the existing Land Use classification of Compact Mixed Use. The Compact Mixed activity centers are “growing areas of the county”. They encourage a different combination of uses such as: commercial, civic, institutional, as well as single family and multi-family developments. Yes No The proposal does ENHANCE or maintain the public health, safety and general welfare. REASONING: The proposed commercial zoning is more appropriate for this site due to properties to the North and South zoned commercial as well as the adjacent property. The proposed zoning would enhance the public health and general welfare. STAFF REPORT Page 4 of 4 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 as well as it being adjacent to the proposed zoning district. Suggested Statement-of-Consistency (Staff concludes that…) 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 for the reasons stated in the evaluation. It is recommended that this rezoning request be APPROVED. Site Photographs Subject Property Subject Property Hwy 87 views Hwy 87 views Attachments Original Rezoning Application Justification Statement
