If an inspector declares a nonresidential building or structure to be unsafe under subsection (b) of this section, the inspector must affix a notice of the unsafe character of the structure to a conspicuous place on the exterior wall of the building. For the purposes of this section, the term "community development target area" means an area that has characteristics of an urban progress zone under G.S. 1438-437.09, a "nonresidential redevelopment area" under G.S. 160A-503(10), or an area with similar characteristics designated by the board of commissioners as being in special need of revitalization for the benefit and welfare of its citizens. @ A county may expand subsections (b) and (c) of this section to apply to residential buildings by adopting an ordinance .

(2) That a hearing will be held before the inspector at a designated place and time, not later than 10 days after the date of the notice, at which time the owner is entitled to be heard in person or by counsel and to present arguments and evidence pertaining to the matter; and (3) That following the hearing, the inspector may issue any order to repair, close, vacate, or demolish the building that appears appropriate. If the name or whereabouts of the owner cannot after due diligence be discovered, the notice shall be considered properly and adequately served if a copy thereof is posted on the outside of the building in question at least 10 days before the day of the hearing and a notice of the hearing is published at least once not later than one week before the hearing." SECTION 3. G.S. 153A-372 reads as rewritten: "§ 153A-372. Equitable enforcement. W Action Authorized. -Whenever a violation is denominated a misdemeanor under the provisions of this Part, the county, either in addition to or in lieu of other remedies, may initiate any appropriate action or proceeding to prevent, restrain, correct, or abate the violation or to prevent the occupancy of the. building involved . .(hl Removal of Building. -In the case of a building or structure declared unsafe under G .S. 153A-366 or an ordinance adopted pursuant to G .S. 153A-366, a county may, in lieu of taking action under subsection (a) of this section, cause the building or structure to be removed or demolished.

She lived at 3143 US 401 South and owned over 46 acres of land adjacent to her home. Johnson Properties sold 9 .8 acres and the home in March 2017 leaving us 36.6 acres left to sell. We contracted with Ann Milton Realty to sell the remaining 36.6 acres. She has brought to our attention that the land is zoned Industrial and questioned were we aware of that. We have always been under the assumption that this land was zoned Residential. After talking with David at the Planning Board, we questioned as to why the family had no knowledge of the land/zoning being Industrial. He responded that with the land being rented out for farm use for many years and with the land being in deferment is why no one knew the zoning was Industrial. Ann Milton Rea lty states that potential buyers would like this land to be zoned Residential. We are asking the fee to be waived in changing the zoning to Residential seeing that it had been changed with nobody having any knowledge . Thank you for your consideration in helping get this resolved. Sincerely, Anthony Williams, Executor and Son of Lillian Jones 155 Farrah Shea Way Angier, NC. 27501 910-51 4 -8910 081517wsa HC BOC Page 7 ------ ;:lo ~ ~ ~ (~. ~.JY\c_.._ ~, ~C'v\JQIV-0 LJ~1 l:,(JY} 1 .h~ --~" ~ ~ ':p~ Lu.u,~) J~-~-rn-1-Jr~ ~~~~~-~~ ~~,·~ ~arlvd~ LJL2..> ~ 0 ~ ~ (~~) ~---- ~~ ~ ~i~~~~J)~ 1-JCllv ~Q~ O<.J-°7> ~ct9,._ ~ ~ ~ ' ~ .

REASONING: The impact to the surround i ng community is reasonable, as the requested zoning district is similar in nature to the surrounding area. ~ Yes O No The requested zoning district is COMPATIBLE with the existing Land Use Classification. ~Yes D Yes ~No Page 3 of 5 REASONING: The requested zoning to RA-30 is compatible with the overall land use classification of Medium Density Res idential, as well as within the Compatibility Development Target area. The MOR land use class could have lot densities that range from 2-5 units per acre and have areas of existing utilities. The Compatibility Development Target areas is based on potential utility availability and flexibility with lot sizes. 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. The request is for a SMALL SCALE REZONING and should be evaluated for reasonableness. REASONING: Since the proposed zoning district of RA-30 is i mmediately across the road, as well as due to the similarity of the two d istricts, this application does need to be considered a Small Scale Rezoning. STAFF REPORT 081517wsa HC BOC Page 11 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 based on the existing residential uses as well as the County's Land Use Plan. Therefore, it is recommended that this rezoning request be APPROVED. Additional Information On August 7th, the Harnett County Planning Board voted unanimously ( 4-0) to recommend approval of application based on compatibility to the Land Use Plan and the existing RA-30 zoning in the area. *No one spoke in opposition.

Front St. Lillington, NC 27546 To Whom It May Concern: I am writing this letter in regards to the tract of land on Christian Light Road that I am currently under contract to purchase. It is my intentions to subdivide 5 building lots f rom the total tract and build single family dwellings on each tract for economic gain. The lots will be approximately 1 acre each . The houses will range in size from 2.000-2,500 sf in size. The property is current ly zoned R-40. I am requestin g t hat the property be rezoned R-30. The reason for my rezoning request is that it will allow th e road frontage access to the large remaining tract to be 100' wide instead of 50'. This is due to the difference in th e lot width req u iremen t s for R-40 vs. R-30. If you have any questions feel free to cont act me at 910.303.1967.

Funding Mechanism EMS Enhanced Federal Medicaid Settlement Program This program is an annual cost reporting program that allows for reimbursement of a portion of a participating units annual operational cost as they relate to Medicaid eligible emergency ambulance services. The North Carolina Association of County Commissioners (NCACC) administers this program in conjunction with the NC Department of Health and Human Services (DHHS) for units of government that deliver EMS services. Units of government must meet specific criteria in order to participate in the settlement program. The unit of government must first be enrolled as a NC Medicaid provider. The unit must also be a governmental unit as described in G.S. 138 A-3 (lSd) of the state statue and have certified public expenditures (CPE) in order to be eligible for cost settlement. EMS Medicaid cost settlement is for governmental providers of emergency ambulance services only. Units of government that deliver these EMS services, or deliver those services through special arrangements with volunteers or private contractors, could be eligible to participate in the program. The program above is recouped by Harnett County Finance Department for Harn ett County E.M.S. unit s only at this time. Emergency Services would like to propose that other Harnett County E.M.S. Squads become eligible to gain this reimbursement as well so that the rising costs to provide emergency medical services can be offset. In order to accompl ish this each squad will be required to lease their E.M.S. units to Harnett County on an annual basis. Finance will then file for these incident responses in the fall of each year with the reimbursements appropriated back to the county in the following spring of the next year. 081517wsa HC BOC Page 36 H GENERAL ASSEMBLY OF NORTH CAROLINA SESSION 2017 HOUSE BILL 143 Committee Substitute Favorable 4/24/17 Short Title: Sanford and Hamett Occupancy Tax.
