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 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 existing zoning districts
and development patterns in this 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 a Compact Mixed Use.
Yes
No
The proposal does ENHANCE or maintain the public health, safety and general welfare.
REASONING: The requested rezoning to Commercial would maintain or enhance the public health, safety, and general welfare due to the area’s existing commercial uses as well as the neighboring
commercially zoned parcels.
Yes
No
The request is for a SMALL SCALE REZONING and should be evaluated for reasonableness.
REASONING: This parcel is immediately adjacent to Commercial zoned property and therefore does not need to be evaluated for small scale rezoning.
Suggested Statement-of-Consistency (Staff concludes that…)
As detailed within the above evaluation, the requested rezoning to Commercial is compatible with the Harnett County Land Use Plan and would not have an unreasonable impact on the surrounding
community because of the existing commercially zoned properties within the area. It is recommended that this rezoning request be APPROVED.
Additional Information
On August 6th, the Harnett County Planning Board voted unanimously (4-0) to recommend approval of application based on compatibility to the Land Use Plan and the previous nonresidential
uses on this site.
One citizen spoke in favor of this application. Also, one spoke in opposition, with concerns about traffic, driveway location, and lights effecting his residence across the street.
