The non-major combining, and individual fund statements and schedules shall be subjected to the auditing procedures applied in the audit of the basic financial statements and an opinion shall be rendered in relation to (as applicable) the governmental activities , the business-type activities, the aggregate DPCUs , each major governmental and enterprise fund, and the aggregate remaining fund information (non-major government and enterprise funds, the internal service fund type, and the fiduciary fund types). • 2. At a minimum , the Auditor shall conduct his/her audit and render his/her report in accordance with GAAS. The Auditor shall perform the audit in accordance with Government Auditing Standards if required by the State Single Audit Implementation Act, as codified in G.S . 159-34. If required by 0MB Uniform Administration Requirements, Cost Principles, and Audit Requirements for Federal Awards (Uniform Guidance) and the State Single Audit Implementation Act, the Auditor shall perform a Sing le Audit. This audit and all associated audit documentation may be subject to review by Federal and State agencies in accordance with Federal and State laws , including the staffs of the Office of State Auditor (OSA) and the Local Government Commission (LGC). If the audit requires a federal single audit performed under the requirements found in Subpart F of the Uniform Guidance (§200.501), it is recommended that the Auditor and Governmental Unit(s) jointly agree , in advance of the execution of this contract, which party is responsible for submission of the audit and the accompanying data collection form to the Federal Audit Clearinghouse as required under the Uniform Guidance (§200.512). If the audit and Auditor communication are found in this review to be substandard, the results of the review may be forwarded to the North Carolina State Board of CPA Examiners (NC State Board).

This contract contemplates an unmodified opinion being rendered . If during the process of conducting the audit, the Auditor determines that it will not be possible to render an unmodified opinion on the financial statements of the unit, the Auditor shall contact the LGC staff to discuss the circumstances leading to that conclusion as soon as is practical and before the final report is issued. The audit shall include such tests of the accounting records and such other auditing procedures as are considered by the Auditor to be necessary in the circumstances. Any limitations or restrictions in scope which would lead to a qualification should be fully explained in an attachment to this contract. 5. If this audit engagement is subject to the standards for audit as defined in Government Auditing Standards , 2011 revisions , issued by the Comptroller General of the United States , then by accepting this engagement, the Auditor warrants that he/she has met the requirements for a peer review and continuing education as specified in Government Auditing Standards.

Subsequent submissions of the report are required only upon report expiration or upon auditor's receipt of an updated peer review report . If the audit firm received a peer review rating other than pass , the Auditor shall not contract with the Governmental Unit(s) without first contacting the Secretary of the LGC for a peer review analysis that may result in additional contractual requirements . If the audit engagement is not subject to Government Accounting Standards or if financial statements are not prepared in accordance with U .S . generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP) and fail to include all disclosures required by GAAP, the Auditor shall provide an explanation as to why in an attachment to this contract or in an amendment. 6. It is agreed that time is of the essence in this contract. All audits are to be performed and the report of audit submitted to LGC staff within four months of fiscal year end .

This includes annual or special audits , agreed upon procedures related to internal controls, bookkeeping or other assistance necessary to prepare the Governmental Unit's (Units') records for audit, financial statement preparation , any finance-related investigations , or any other audit-related work in the State of North Carolina . Invoices for services rendered under these contracts shall not be paid by the Governmental Unit(s) until the invoice has been approved by the Secretary of the LGC.

After completing the audit, the Auditor shall submit to the Governing Board a written report of audit. This report shall include , but not be limited to, the following information : (a) Management's Discussion and Analysis , (b) the financial statements and notes of the Governmental Unit(s) and all of its component units prepared in accordance with GAAP, (c) supplementary information requested by the Governmental Unit(s) or required for full disclosure under the law, and (d) the Auditor's opinion on the material presented. The Aud itor shall furnish the required number of copies of the report of audit to the Governing Board upon completion. 12 . If the audit firm is required by the NC State Board , the NCACPA Peer Review Committee, or the Secretary of the LGC to have a pre-issuance review of its audit work, there shall be a statement in the engagement letter indicating the pre-issuance review requirement. There also shall be a statement that the Governmental Unit(s) shall not be billed for the pre-issuance review. The pre-issuance review shall be performed prior to the completed audit being submitted to LGC Staff. The pre-issuance review report shall accompany the audit report upon submission to LGC Staff. 13. The Auditor shall submit the report of audit in PDF format to LGC Staff when (or prior to) submitting the final invoice for services rendered .

Any subsequent revisions to these reports shall be sent to the Secretary of the LGC along with an Audit Report Reissued Form (available on the Department of State Treasurer website). These audited financial statements , excluding the Auditors ' opinion, may be used in the preparation of official statements for debt offerings by municipal bond rating services to fulfill secondary market disclosure requirements of the Securities and Exchange Commission and for other lawful purposes of the Governmental Unit(s) without requiring consent of the Auditor. If the LGC Staff determines that corrections need to be made to the Governmental Unit's (Units') financial statements , those corrections shall be provided within three business days of notification unless another deadline is agreed to by LGC staff. If the OSA designates certain programs to be audited as major programs , as discussed in Item 2, a turnaround document and a representation letter addressed to the OSA shall be submitted to LGC Staff. 14. Should circumstances disclosed by the audit call for a more detailed investigation by the Auditor than necessary under ordinary circumstances, the Auditor shall inform the Governing Board in writing of the need for such additional investigation and the additional compensation required therefore. Upon approval by the Page 3 of 8 031819a HCBOC Page 20 LGC-205 CONTRACT TO AUDIT ACCOUNTS Rev . 10/2018 Secretary of the LGC , this contract may be modified or amended to include the increased time, compensation , or both as may be agreed upon by the Governing Board and the Auditor. 15 .

"A Professional Association of Certified Public Accountanls and Ma11ageme11 1 Consul/ant s" February 19 , 2019 Kimberly Honeycutt , Finance Officer Hamett County I 02 E Front Street Lillington, NC 27546 You have requested that we audit the financial statements of the governmental activities, the business-type activities, each major fund , and the aggregate remaining fund information of Harnett County, NC, as of June 30, 2019, and for the year then ended, and the related notes to the financial statements, which collectively comprise Hamett County's basic financial statements as listed in the table of contents. In addition , we will audit the entity's compliance over major federal and State award programs for the period ended June 30 , 2019. We are pleased to confirm our acceptance and our understanding of this audit engagement by means of thi s letter. Our audits will be conducted with the objectives of our expressing an opinion on each opinion unit and an opinion on compliance regarding the entity 's major federal and State award programs. Accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America require that certain supplementary information be presented to supplement the basic financial statement s. Such information, although not a part of the basic financial statements, is required by the Governmental Accounting Standards Board, who considers it to be an es sential part of financial reporting for placing the basic financial statements in an appropriate operational, economic, or historical context. As part of our engagement, we will apply certain limited procedures to the required supplementary information (RSI) in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of America. These limited procedures will consist primarily of inquiries of management regarding their methods of mea surement and presentation, and comparing the information for consistency with management's responses to our inquiries . We w ill not express an opinion or provide any form of assurance on the RSI. The following RSI is required by accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. This RSI will be s ubjected to certain limited procedures but will not be audited: • Management 's Discussion and Analysis • Law Enforcement Officers' Special Separation Allowance schedules • Other Post -Employment Benefits ' schedules • Local Government Employees' Retirement Sys tem 's schedules • Regi ster of Deeds' Supplemental Pension Fund schedules 7'.\() I :;'11 A \'CllllC Ori,..: sr + I li ckory, NC 286 0 2 + 828-327-2727 + Fin 828-3'.:11-2324 13 Sm11h C't·nh:r \tree!+ 1 aylllr,, illc, l\C 28681 + 8n-h32-1l02:'i + F," X2i-;-632-9<H,:'i 800-948-058~ + w ww.martinst :1 rncs.(·o 111 031819a HCBOC Page 27 Supplementary information other than RSI will accompany Hamett County's basic financial statements. We will subject the following supplementary information to the auditing procedures applied in our audit of the basic financial statements and certain additional procedures, including comparing and reconciling the supplementary information to the underlying accounting and other records used to prepare the financial statements or to the financial statements themselves, and additional procedures in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of America. We intend to provide an opinion on the following supplementary information in relation to the financial statements as a whole: • Combining and individual fund financial statements • Budget and actual schedules • Supplemental ad valorem tax schedules • Schedule of Expenditures of Federal and State Awards Schedule of Expenditures of Federal and State Awards We will subject the Schedule of Expenditures of Federal and State Awards to the auditing procedures applied in our audit of the basic financial statements and certain additional procedures, including comparing and reconciling the schedule to the underlying accounting and other records used to prepare the financial statements or to the financial statements themselves, and additional procedures in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of America. We intend to provide an opinion on whether the Schedule of Expenditures of Federal and State Awards is presented fairly in all material respects in relation to the financial statements as a whole. Data Collection Form Prior to the completion of our engagement, we will complete the sections of the Data Collection Form that are our responsibility. The form will smmnarize our audit findings , amounts and conclusions. It is management's responsibility to submit a reporting package including financial statements, Schedule of Expenditures of Federal and State Awards, summary schedule of prior audit findings and corrective action plan along with the Data Collection Form to the Federal Audit Clearinghouse. The financial reporting package must be text searchable, unencrypted, and unlocked. Otherwise, the reporting package will not be accepted by the Federal Audit Clearinghouse. We will assist you in the electronic submission and certification. You may request from us copies of our report for you to include with the reporting package submitted to pass-through entities. The Data Collection Fonn is required to be submitted within the earlier of 30 days after receipt of our auditors ' reports or nine months after the end of the audit period, unless specifically waived by a federal cognizant or oversight agency for audits. Data Collection Forms submitted untimely are one of the factors in assessing programs at a higher risk. 031819a HCBOC Page 28 Audit of the Financial Statements We will conduct our audit in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of America (U .S. GAAS), the standards applicable to financial audits contained in Government Auditing Standards, issued by the Comptroller General of the United States of America; the audit requirements of Title 2 U.S. Code of Federal Regulations (CFR) Part 200, Uniform Administrative Requirements, Cost Principles , and Audit Requirem ents for Federal Awards (Uniform Guidance) and the State Single Audit Implementation Act. Those standards and the Uniform Guidance require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the basic financial statements are free from material misstatement. An audit involves performing procedures to obtain audit evidence about the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. The procedures selected depend on the auditor's judgment, including the assessment of the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to error, fraudulent financial reporting, misappropriation of assets, or v iolations of laws, governmental regulations , grant agreements, or contractual agreements. An audit also includes evaluating the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of significant accounting estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial statements. If appropriate, our procedures will therefore include tests of documentary evidence that support the transactions recorded in the accounts, tests of the physical existence of inventories, and the direct confinnation of cash, investments, and certain other assets and liabilities by correspondence with creditors and financial institutions. As part of our audit process, we will request written representations from your attorneys, and they may bill you for responding. At the conclusion of our audit, we will a lso request certain written representations from you about the financial statements and related matters. Because of the inherent limitations of an audit, together with the inherent limitations of internal control, an unavoidable risk that some material misstatements or noncompliance (whether caused by errors, fraudulent financia l reporting, misappropriation of assets , detected abuse, or violations of laws or governmental regulations) may not be detected exists, even though the audit is properly planned and performed in accordance with U.S. GAAS and Government Auditing Standards of the Comptroller General of the United States of America. Please note that the determination of abuse is subjective and Government Auditing Standards does not require auditors to detect abuse. In making our r isk assessments, we consider internal control relevant to the entity's preparation and fair presentation of the financial statements in order to design audit procedures that are appropr iate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the entity's internal control. However, we will communicate to you in writing concerning any significant deficiencies or material weaknesses in internal control relevant to the audit of the financia l statements th at we have identified during the audit. Our responsibility as auditors is, of course, limited to the period covered by our audit and does not extend to any other periods. We will issue a written report upon completion of our audit of Hamett County 's basic financial statements. Our report wi ll be addressed to the governing body of Hamett County. We cannot provide assurance that unmodified opinions will be expressed. Circumstances may arise in which it is necessary for us to modify our opinions, add an emphasis-of-matter or other-matter paragraph(s), or withdraw from the engagement. In accordance with the requirements of Government Auditing Standards, we will also issue a written report describing the scope of our testing over internal control over financial reporting and over compliance with laws, regulations, and provisions of grants and contracts, including the results of that testi ng. However, providing an opinion on internal control and compliance over financial reporting will not be an objective of the audit and , therefore, no such opinion will be expressed. 031819a HCBOC Page 29 Audit of Major Program Compliance Our audit of Hamett County's major federal and state award program(s) compliance will be conducted in accordance with the requirements of the Single Audit Act, as amended; the Uniform Guidance, an d the State Single Audit Implementation Act, and will include tests of accounting records, a determination of major programs in accordance with the Uniform Guidance and the State Single Audit Implementation Act and other procedures we consider necessary to enable us to express such an opinion on major federal and state award program compliance and to render the required reports. We cannot provide assurance that an unmodified opinion on compliance will be expressed. Circumstances may arise in which it is necessary fo r us to modify our opinion or withdraw from the engagement. The Unifonn Guidance and the State Single Audit Implementation Act require that we also plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the entity has compl ied with applicable laws and regulations and the provisions of contracts and grant agreements applicable to major federal and state award programs. Our procedures will consist of determining major federal and state programs and performing the applicable procedures described in the U.S. Office of Management and Budget 0MB Compliance Supplement for the types of compliance requirements that could have a direct and material effect on each of the entity 's major programs. The purpose of those procedures will be to express an opinion on the entity's compliance with requirements applicable to each of its major programs in our report on compliance issued pursuant to the Uniform Guidance and the State Single Audit Implementation Act. Also, as required by the Uniform Guidance and the State Single Audit Implementation Act, we will perform tests of controls to evaluate the effectiveness of the design and operation of controls that we consider relevant to preventing or detecting material noncompliance with compliance re quirements applicable to each of the entity's major federal and state award programs. However, our tests will be less in scope than would be necessary to render an opinion on these controls and, accordingly, no opinion will be expressed in our report. We will issue a report on compliance that will include an opinion or disclaimer of opinion regarding the entity's major federal and state award programs, and a report on internal controls over compliance that will report any significant deficiencies and material weaknesses identified; however, such report will not express an opinion on internal control. Management's Responsibilities Our audit will be conducted on the basis that management and, when appropriate, those charged with governance, acknowledge and understand that they have res ponsi bility: 1. For the preparation and fair presentation of the financial statements in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America; 2.

You also agree to provide us with a copy of the final reproduced material for our approval before it is distributed. With regard to the electronic dissemination of audited financial statements, including financia l statements published electronically on your website, you understand that electronic sites are a means to distribute infonnation and, therefore, we are not required to read the information contained in these sites or to consider the consistency of other information in the electronic site with the original d ocument. Fees Paula Hodges is the engagement partner for the audit services specified in this letter. Her responsibilities include supervising Martin Starnes & Associates, C PAs, P.A.'s services performed as part of thi s engagement and signing or authorizing another qualified firm representati ve to sign the audit report. To ensure that our independence is not impaired under the AI CPA Code of Profess ional Conduct, you agree to inform the engagement partner before entering into any substantive employment discussions with any of our personnel. Our fees for these s ervices are as follows: Fixed: Audit Financial Statement Drafting Other Non-Attest Services Variable: $ 76 ,990 10,900 $ 87,890 Charge per major program over five (5) $ 3,000 ===-=== Our invoices for these fees will be rendered in four ins tallments as work progresses and are payable on presentation. In accordance with our firm policies, work may be suspended if your account becomes overdue and may not be resumed until your account is paid in full. If we elect to terminate our services for non-payment, our engagement will be deemed to have been completed upon written notification of tennination, even ifwe have not completed our reports. You wi ll be obligated to compensate us for all time expended and to reimburse us for all out-of-pocket costs through the date of termination. We will notify you immediately of any circumstances we encounter that could significantly affect this initial fee estimate. Whenever possible, we will attempt to use Hamett County's personnel to assist in the preparation of schedules and analyses of accounts. This effort could substantially reduce our time requirements and facilitate the timely conclusion of the audit. 031819a HCBOC Page 32 We want our clients to receive the maximum value for our professional services and to perceive that our fees are reasonable and fair. In working to provide you with such value, we find there are certain circumstances that can cause us to perform work in excess of that contemplated in our fee estimate. Following are some of the more common reasons for potential supplemental billings: Changing Laws and Regulations There are many governmental and rule-making boards that regularly add or change their requirements. Although we attempt to plan our work to anticipate the requirements that will affect our engagement, there are times when this is not possible. We will discus s these situations with you at the earliest possible time in order to make the necessary adjustments and amendments in our engagement. Incorrect Accounting Methods or Errors in Client Records We base our fee estimates on the expectation that client accounting records are in order so that our work can be completed using our standard testing and accounting procedures. However, should we find numerous errors, incomplete records, or the application of incorrect accounting methods, we will have to perform additional work to make the corrections and reflect those changes in the financial statements. Failure to Prepare for the Engagement In an effort to minimize your fees, we assign you the responsibility for the preparation of schedules and documents needed for the engagement. We also discuss matters s uch as availability of your key personnel, deadlines, and work space. If your personnel are unab le , for whatever reas·ons, to provide these items as previously agreed upon, it might sub stantially increase the work we mu st do to complete the engagement within the scheduled time. Starting and Stopping Our Work If we must withdraw our staff because of the condition of the client's records , or the failure to provide agreed upon items within the e stabli shed timeline for the engagement, we will not be able to perform our work in a timely, efficient manner, as established by our engagement plan. This will re sult in additional fees, as we must reschedule our personnel and incur additional start-up costs. Assistance w ith Financial Statement Drafting Your personnel is respon sible for drafting the Schedule of Expenditures of Federal and State Awards. Upon completion of the drafted schedule, we will review it and return it to you with suggested revisions. If s ignificant assistance is needed to make those revisions , this will result in additional fees based on the amount of assistance required. Our fees are based on anticipated cooperation from your personnel and the assumption that unexpected circumstances will not be encountered during the audit. If significant additional time is necessary, we will discuss it with you and arrive at a new fee estimate before we incur the additional costs. Our fees for such services range from $75-$300 per hour. Other Matters During the course of the engagement, we may communicate with you or your personnel via fax or e-mail, and you should be aware that communication in those mediums contains a risk of misdirected or intercepted communications. 031819a HCBOC Page 33 The audit documentation for this engagement is the property of Martin Starnes & Associates, CP As, P.A. and constitutes confidential information. However, we may be requested to make certain audit documentation available to the Local Government Commission, Office of the State Auditor, federal or State agencies and the U.S. Government Accountability Office pursuant to authority given to it by law or regulation, or to peer reviewers. If requested, access to such audit documentation will be provided under the supervision of Martin Starnes & Associates, CP As, P.A.' s personnel. Furthermore, upon request, we may provide copies of selected audit documentation to these agencies and regulators. The regulators and agencies may intend , or decide, to distribute the copies of information contained therein to others, including other governmental agencies. We agree to retain our audit documentation or work papers for a period of at least five years from the date of our report. We will perform the following nonattest services: • Draft of financial statements and footnotes • GASB 34 conversion entries • Preparation of Data Collection Form • Preparation of AFIR • Cash to accrual entries We will not assume management responsibilities on behalf of Hamett County. However, we will provide advice and recommendations to assist management of Hamett County in performing its responsibilities. With respect to the nonattest services we perform as listed above, Hamett County's management is responsible for (a) making all management decis ions and perfonning all management functions; (b) assigning a competent individual to oversee the services; (c) evaluating the adequacy of the services performed ; (d) evaluating and accepting responsibility for the results of the services performed; and (e) establishing and maintaining internal controls, includin& monitoring ongoing activities. Our responsibilities and limitations of the engagement are as follows: • We will perform the services in accordance with applicable professional standards. • This engage ment is limited to the nonattest services previously outlined. Our firm , in its sole profess ional judgment, reserves the right to refuse to do any procedure or take any action that could be construed as making management decisions or assuming management responsibilities, including determining account codings and approving journal entries. Government Auditing Standards require that we document an assessment of the s kills, knowledge, and experience of management, should we participate in any form of preparation of the basic financial statements and related schedules or di sc losures as these actions are deemed a non-audit service. During the course of the audit , we may observe opportunities for economy in, or improved controls over, your operations.

Page 4 of 5 031819a HCBOC Page 42 CONFLICT OF INTEREST POLICY AND AGREEMENT ARTICLE I PURPOSES It is important for the Nonprofit Funding Committee, its officers, and members to be aware that both real and apparent conflicts of interest sometimes occur in the course of conducting the affairs of the committee and that the appearance of the conflict can be troublesome even if there is in fact no conflict whatsoever. Conflicts occur because the many persons associated with the corporation should be expected to have, and do in fact, generally have multiple interests and affiliations and various positions of responsibility within the community. 1n these situations, a person will sometimes owe identical duties of loyalty to two or more people. The purpose of the conflict of interest policy is to protect the committee's interest of when it is contemplating entering into a transaction or arrangement that might benefit the private interest of office or member of the committee or might result in a possible excess benefit transaction . The conflict of interest policy is intended to supplement but not replace any applicable state and federal law. Conflicts are undesirable because they potentially or eventually place the interests of others ahead of the committee 's obligations to its charitable purposes and to the public interest. Conflicts are also undesirable because they often reflect adversely upon the person involved and upon the institutions with which they are affiliated , regardless of the actual facts or motivations of the parties . However, the long-range best interests of the corporation do not require the termination of all association with persons who may have real of apparent conflicts that are harmless to all individuals involved. Each member of the committee has a duty of loyalty to the committee. The duty of loyalty generally requires a member to prefer the interest of the committee over member's interest or the interests of others. In addition, members of the committee shall avoid acts of self-dealing which may adversely affect the purpose of reputation of this committee.

Development Services staff recommends the requested rezoning to RA-20R be dnied . Thi s request is not compatible with all of the Harnett County regulatory documents and would not enhance the general, overall welfare of the surrounding community. Staff also recommends a Land Use map amendment to include an Employment Mixed Use node due to the amount of Industrial zoning, as well as the presence of existing nonresidential uses, in this area. Additional Information: Also, prior to the Planning Board meeting, this application was sent to the Harnett County Economic Development Department. Their staff thought this site's existing Industrial zoning classification is a benefit given that ... •This site is located along a major corridor with Public objections concerns , US 401, and adjoining the long-time e xisting Champion Homes manufacturing facility . •The possibility future industrial developments in this area could exist due to the large, Industrial zoned tracts with an active railroad adjoining many of the parcels. •The large, certified Mastin-Baker site i s approximately six miles from this area as well. On March 4th, the Harnett County Planning Board voted 3-2 to recommend denial of the application based on the overall welfare of the surrounding community due to future economic development endeavors. Two citizens attended the meeting and one spoke in fav or of the application with the feeling that residential land across from his family farm would be more compatible with their land.

[gj Yes D Yes D Yes Page 5 of 7 REASONING: The impact to the surrounding community is not reasonable, as it is predominately zoned Industrial since 2000. The proposed zoning to residential could potentially be an inconvenience to adjacent property owners due to a significant traffic increase. 0 No The requested zoning district is COMPATIBLE with the existing Land Use Classification . REASONING: The requested zoning district is compatible with the existing land use classification of Agriculture & Rural Residential. However, the definition of Ag & Rural Residential refers to areas that "lack of utility and transportation infrastructure." Public water & sewer is available and the site has over 800' of frontage along US 401. Therefore with approximately 1,363 acres of contiguous Industrial zoning, a Land Use map amendment would be appropriate to facilitate future economic development endeavors . A map proposing this amendment as an Employment Mixed Use node has been included. [gJ No The proposal does ENHANCE or maintain the public health, safety and general welfare. REASONING: The proposal does not enhance the overall general welfare, as the requested zoning is not compatible with the potential non-residential growth of the County. Several compatiable, non-residential uses are present in this area and the uses provided by the current zoning classification would be more appropriate for this area's growth and as a whole to the economic prosperity of Harnett County . [gJ No The request is for a SMALL SCALE REZONING and should be evaluated for reasonableness. REASONING: Due to the size of the tract, the proposed zoning district does not have to be evaluated for Small Scale Rezoning. STAFF REPORT 031819a HCBOC Page 61 Suggested Statement-of-Consistency (Staff concludes that. .. ) As stated in the evaluation, the requested rezoning to RA-20R is not compatible with all of the Harnett County regulatory documents and would not enhance the general, overall welfare of the surrounding community. It is recommended that this rezoning request be DENIED. Additionally, staff recommends a Land Use map amendment to include the following employment Mixed Use node due to the amount of Industrial zoning, as well as the presence of existing nonresidential uses, in this area. Additional Information Also, prior to the Planning Board meeting, this application was sent to the Harnett County Economic Development Department. Their staff thought this site's existing Industrial zoning classification is a benefit given that ... • This site is located along a major corridor with Public objections concerns, US 401, and adjoining the long-time existing Champion Homes manufacturing facility. • The possibility future industrial developments in this area could exist due to the large, Industrial zoned tracts with an active railroad adjoining many of the parcels. • The large, certified Mastin-Baker site is approximately six miles from this area as well. On March 4th, the Harnett County Planning Board voted 3-2 to recommend denial of the application based on the overall welfare of the surrounding community due to future economic development endeavors. Items they discussed pertained to: • residential encroachment onto the existing Industrial uses • potential concerns future residents could have related to the existing uses and future uses • overall residential growth & school populations • lack of buffering between a new residential developments and existing Industrial uses. Page 6 of 7 STAFF REPORT 031819a HCBOC Page 62 • a lack of non-residential growth in this area could be lead to a well-developed residential neighborhood • residents wanting to move to this area could utilize this new housing development Two citizens attended the meeting and one spoke in favor of the application with the feeling that residential land across from his family farm would be more compatible with their land .

The purpose of the Harnett Count y Northwest Area Plan is to build on the Comprehensive Growth Plan and c rea te a more detai l ed guide for the northwe stern portio n of the county, including the northern portion of Li ll ington and western portion of Angier, even though these areas are incorporated . This plan will ser v e a s a framework for accommodating growth and dev elopment while maintain- ing rura l character, environmental qua lity, and the livability of the area . Th e study area is predominantly rural in charac t er, with many working farms and timber lands, historic cros sroads communit i e s and small scale residentia l , industria l, and commercial dev elopment. However, this ru r al character i s under pressure from the residential growth emanating from communities to the north, specifically the rapid growth of Wake County and Fuquay-Varina. Northwest Harnett County has e x perienc ed unprecedented growth over the past five y e ars and will continue to for the fore seeable future . The Northwest Area Plan provides a roadmap for how to manage that growth so that the community benefit s from change while also pro- tecting the characteristic s and qual i tie s that the c o mmunity v alues.

Lillington's Comprehensive Plan anticipates comme rcial and institutiona l growth north of the Cape Fear River centered on the intersection of NC 210 and US 401 and Brightwater a mixed-use business center that currently houses Central Harnett Hospital. In addition, the plan shows planned green spaces located on both sides of the Cape Fear River and potential residential development north and south of US 401 east of NC 210. TOWN OF ANGIER The western portion of the Town of Angier is located within the study area boundaries. Angier's Comprehensive Plan includes the following future land uses that could impact the study area: • Medium density res idential growth (R-10 zoning (10,000 square foot lots) with water + sewer) • Commercial corrid or al ong NC 55 • High density residential (R-6 zoning (6,000 square foot lots) with water + sewer) • Planned new connector road on west side of town TOWN OF FUQlJAY ... VARfNA Fuquay-Varina 's Comprehens ive Plan projects that the Town's population will triple if current growth trends continue. In anticipation of this growth, the Town is expanding its Extra Territorial Jurisdiction south to the Wake -Harnett County line, directly adjacent to the study area . Planned land uses impacting the study area include :: • Large Lot: 2 dwelling units per acre • Smal l L ot: 2-6 dwelling units per acre • Mixed-Density: 4-8 dwelling units per acre 031819a HCBOC Page 75 COMPREH~NSlVE GROWTH PLAN Harnett County 's Co mprehen s ive Growth Plan , adopted in 2015 , established a vision and goals for County -wide i ssue s. The p l an foc u ses on fi v e themes: Land Use , Economic Development, Utilities, Natural Resources , and Transportation . The Northwest Area Plan builds on and refines the c ounty -wide goal s as it relates to the this portion of the County. The Future Land Use Map that i s included in this plan is meant to clarify and refine some of the re c ommendations in the Comprehensive Growth Plan based on further study and public input in the Northwest Area. UNIFIED DEVELOPMENT ORDINANCE Harnett County's Unified Development Ordinance (UDO) sets the regulations for development in the county. Recently, the County has updated their standards for certain types of residential development to require curb and gutter, sidewalks, and street trees in more situations. These changes are intended to promote high quality development and ensure future pedestrian connections. SOUTHWEST AREA STUDY Harnett County is one of multiple counties and municipalities included in the Capital Area Metropolitan Planning Organization's (CAMPO) study of regional growth and transportation networks. As part of this ongoing study, CAMPO will project future growth and put forth recommendations of how the transportation system can accommodate this growth. This regional look will be critical to understanding the cross-county travel patterns and transportation needs of study area residents . r-~- 1 I I I Harnett County Northwest Area Plan 3 031819a HCBOC Page 76 PROJECT PHASES The planning process that led to the development of the Harnett County Northwest Area Plan was divided into four phases. The first phase began in May of 2018 and focused on project initiation including data collection, review of existing plans for both the County and neighboring municipalities, a kick-oft meeting with County staff, and interviews with key stakeholders. The second phase included steering committee meetings, a tour of the study area. analysis of constraints, economic opportunities and infrastructure needs, as well a public meeting and online survey. During the third phase a draft future land use map was created along with concepts for small areas and draft strategies, which were reviewed and adjusted through two steering committee meetings. All information was stored and shared on the Development Services's website to encourage participation and understanding. The adoption phase of the process occurred during of 2019 and included developing implementation steps and review and adoption of the plan by the Planning Board and County Commission .

The Northwest Area Plan is informed by both quantitative analysis and quali - tative input from the community. There is a common theme in all of the in - formation co llected during this planning process : change. Northwest Harnett County has experienced tremendous growth over the past decade, and will continue to change in the future. This chapter includ es information on chang- es to the area's population and demographics. economic and land use trends. and infrastructure and natural resources. It includes community input gathered throughout the plan dev elopment process. It outlines recent accomplishments and identifies key issues that need to be addressed through county-led initia - t ives and through cooperatio n with municipalities and priv ate entities. Harnett County Northwes t Area Plan 7 031819a HCBOC Page 80 8 : Grow Harn ett Co unty DEMOGRAPHICS Proximity to Raleigh, the Research Triangle Park via US 401, and the new Tr iangle Expressway are driving a rapid expansion of residential demand in Northwest Harnett County, bringing with it both opportunities and challenges . The population of the study area has grown by 50% between 2000 and 2017. This is a net increase of 743 homes and 1,775 peopl e. T he area's current population is 16 ,252 (Source: Esri) and is projected to grow by over 18,000 people by 2038 according to population projections p r oduced by the Triangle J Council of Governments. The popu lation of the study area is older than Harnett County on average, but in line with North Caro li na and US median age, and has roughly half the poverty rate of the county as a whole (9.9% v 18.3%).

H owever, a substantial majority o f la nd value is derived from single fam il y resident ial la n d uses. Balancing these t w o uses -agriculture and residential -is one of the defining challenges o f future growth in the area . Commerci al and industrial land u ses make up o nly 2.2% of the land area in Northw est Harnett County, yet they make up over 10% of the prop erty v alue. In addition, a 2011 Cost of Land Use F isca l Analysis conducted for the Fort Bragg Regional Alliance showed that retail , office and indu strial land u ses result in more net fiscal benefits than average or low value re sident ial land uses. -OPEN SPACE ; PARK: CEMETERY \ AGRICUL lURE RURAL RESIDENTIAL SINGLE FAMILY RESIDENTIAL MOBILE HOME MULTI-FAMILY -COMMERCIAL ; OFFICE -INSTITUTIONAL IN DUSTRIAL Context CIStudyArea I_ County Municipalities CJ AnglerET J . ~ Schools r,-··· I ' \ .... / ' .. / / \ .. ·. , / ., / n , .. ,.,. __ , ... ,. =~ ·~ ' Existing Land Use (Acreage) Ex,st,ng Land Use (Value) i •~r1t h,-,,1, flt td< ,..l.;ll ,,, C, Pirie .

In 2015 there were 290 residential closings. In 2017 there were 419. And 2018 closings are on pace to met or exceed the 2017 figure. The scale of residential developments is also increasing. Smaller subdivisions were common in the past, but more recently the developments being proposed include larger tracts of land and hundreds of homes. Median sales price of homes in the study area has increased to nearly $240,000 in the first half of 2018. The median sales price in the study area has increased more rapidly than in the county as a whole. The types of housing in demand is also changing. Since 2015 homes sold in the study area have been overwhelmingly single family detached homes, although many recent proposals include smaller lots that are meant to meet market demand and capitalize on available sewer in the Neills Creek basin. There is an emerging demand for rental options, especially from Campbell University which has over 2,000 graduate students. Many of these students currently live in Fuquay-Varina due to apartment availability. Even with more people living in Northwest Harnett County retail and restaurant options are limited. There is substantial retail leakage especially in General Merchandi se Stores, Gas Stations, and Restaurants & Bars . Many residents travel north into Wake County to access shopping and dining options. The thoughtful development of commercial centers close to clusters of current and future residential development could provide amenities to Harnett County residents, shorten trips, and strengthen the tax base . PROPOSED RESIDENTIAL DEVELOPMENTS 10 Grow Harnett County -·-IJJ C.. r' I 1 ·- 031819a HCBOC Page 83 EMPLOYMENT There are over 2,600 jobs within the Northwest Harnett County study area , with Healthcare/Educational Services, Construction, Manufacturi ng, and Professional/ Management sectors being the largest employers (Source: Census on the Map, 2015). Campbell University is just to the east of the study area and has 850 full time faculty and staff. Smart investments in transportation and utili ty services could encourage new industrial uses and a more diverse spectrum of commercial uses and bolster the employment base in the community. Sections of the study area, particular ly along the US 401 corridor, are su itable for industrial development as shown on the Industrial Suitability map below. Access to US 401, a railroad, the Triangle Expressway, Research Triangle Park, RDU Airport, Raleigh, Durham , and Chatham County's Moncure Megasite are factors that could lead to more businesses in the area . .., LEE n .,,,.,. ---· \ ....... ~l~ "'•..:J • Construct,on Manufacturing Agr1culture/Forestry Retail Trade Tra nsp ortation, Warehousing, Utilities Infor mation Fina nce, Insu ran ce, Real Estate Professional, Scientific, Management Education, Hea lth Care, Social Assistance Arts, Entertain m ent, Accomodat1on, Food Other Services J I . soo ,i. 1000 ISOO Area Employment Source: US Census Legend , CJstudyArea I i ' CJ Extraterritorial Junsdicti ..

Planned alignment of Angier Shallow Bypass 2,456 Peop le live outside of the county and work within the county TRANSPORTATION The study area is served by a sparse network of rural roads and a few state highways . Primary routes are US 401 and NC 210; both running roughly north- south into Wake County. NC 55 passes through the Town of Angier on the east side of the study area and NC 42 travels through the Duncan community in the northwest. These larger roads are supplemented by smaller local east- west routes (Rawls Church Road, Chalybeate Springs Road, Harnett Central Road and others), and a series of "farm to market" roads bui l t on ridge-lines that form large areas without road connections. Many of these "country blocks" have road connections 1 or 2 miles apart. As the population of the study area increases and more people use existing roads for commuti ng and fulfilling everyday needs road connections and enhancements will be needed to maintain mobi l ity and emergency access. Creation of a secondary network of local, interconnected streets th rough cooperation with the private development community and pursuance of improvements on state mainta ined roads will be necessary to help ameliorate congestion and improve access to services. Several transportation studies and p lanned i nvestments will i mpact the study area: Angier Shallow Bypass-this at-grade limited access road is planned on the western edge of Angier a s a funded State Transportation Improvement Project and will provide add i tiona l north-south capacity in the v icin ity of Angier. Southwest Area Study-The Capital Area Metropolitan Planning Organization (CAMPO) is studying southern Wake County and northern Harnett County to antic ipate future transportation improvements needed in this rapidly growing area. Sandhills Regional Bike Plan-The Fayetteville Area Metropolitan Planning Organization (FAMPO) in coordination with NCDOT and local governments is studying way s to enhance bicycli ng options in a five-county region, i ncluding Harnett County. 6,353 People live in the county and work outside of the county Nearly 94% of residents that live inside the NW Harnett Cou nty Area work outside of the area . Source: Census On the Map 12 Grow Harnett County 031819a HCBOC Page 85 PLJBLIC UTILITI ES Harnett County operates as the primary water and sewer provider in the study area. The Town of Angier and the Town of Lillington also provide water and sewer to customers within their respective city limits. County water service is widespread with significant capacity along US 401 and NC 210. Many of the more rural areas of the county have water service, but limited capacity in lines. County owned gravity-fed sewer service extends up the Neills Creek basin, and capacity exists to serve areas anticipated for development along US 401 and east to NC 210. Care must be taken to ensure that the development requirements in the portion of Harnett County served by utilities anticipate smaller lots from larger area subdivisions. Cooperation is needed on the border with Angier to support a growth pattern via utility policies that is mutually beneficial to the county and the town. The extension of utilities can also be viewed as an economic development tool, and serve industrial and commercial development. There are industrial opportunities along US 401 and historic railroad stops, such as Chal ybeate Springs, where the extension of utilities can support job creation as well as more compact development in a tight node. PUBLIC UTILITIES l "', l /, ) \ \ ' --•--1!&., ... -,/'h. • -..vqi;,- Harnett County Northwest Area Pl an 13 031819a HCBOC Page 86 SCHOOLS AND EMERGENCY SERVICES There are 5 public schools in the study area. Lafayette Elementary has exceeded the capacity of the main buildings and is relying on mobile classrooms (based on 2016 data). Harnett Central High and Middle are over capacity as well . New housing and increasing population will lead to more demand for schools. For every 1,000 new households that move to Harnett County, roughly 470 new students may need to be accommodated in the schools system (based on a student generation rate of 0.47 students per household). School capacities in the study area vary but understanding implications of residential growth and reserving land for schools in advance will be a need in the near-to mid-term in the study area. The study area is covered by fire and EMS stations near the crossroads of Christian Light Road and Revels Road, Angier and Lillington. Response times and corresponding insurance rates are lower along US 401 and west of NC 210. Call volume has been increasing and there will likely be a need for additional fire- fighting capacity as the area along US 401 increases in population. The railroad and sparse road network is a barrier to improved response times. An additional fire station in the vicinity of Chalybeate Springs at some point in the future would improve coverage, especially on the west side of Neills Creek. Maintaining roadway capacity on US 401 will also be important as it is an evacuation route for the Shearon Harris Nuclear Power Plant 10-mile Evacuation Zone.

Jack Marley Park, owned by the Town of Angier is a 33- acre park with a pond, walking trail , two playgrounds, basketball court, tennis court, and three sports fields . Neills Creek Park is owned and maintained by Harnett County and occupies 25 acres adjacent to Harnett Central High School. The park includes six tennis courts, two softball fields, a concession building with a storage room and restrooms , and an open/activity field. The northern portion of Raven Rock State Park is also located in the study area which includes 1,426 acres, a parking area, and hiking and equestrian trails. The Harnett County Parks Master Plan identified the need for land acquisition for additional parks in under- served areas . The plan called for the creation of two district parks in the northwest Harnett County study area. Government Complex Park is a proposed Harnett County park that is to be built within the Town limits of Lillington near the Cape Fear River on the northwest side of US 401 / NC 210. Phase One of the master plan includes a parking area, paved walking trail, fishing pier, soccer field, multi-purpose fields, boardwalk, and wildlife observation deck. The County has also acquired land near the intersection of Revels Road and Oakridge River Road that could be used for a park and/or a convenience/recycling center. The Parks Master Plan also recommends the construction of 36 miles of greenway trails by 2030 and five b lueway access points on the Cape Fear River. The recently cornpteteci Har nett County Parks Master Pian has sh~ O\ er arching goals: 7.

It marks the transition between the piedmont region and the sandh i lls , and features the topography of the former and the sandy soils of the latter. Traditionally the area has had a small, dispersed population. The flatter uplands have been utilized for agriculture and the more steeply sloped hillsides that lead to streams have been utilized for forestry. Streams flow from north to south, flowing into the Cape Fear River, a drinking water source for the region and a planned blueway. Many of the streams in the study area are designated as High Quality Waters . These waterways are designated in order to protect rare examples of excellent macro-invertebrate and fish communities. The High Quality Waters designation by the State of North Carolina adds restrictions to development in an effort to protect water quality. These restrictions include limiting density and requiring additional stormwater control measures. There are many designated Natural Heritage Natural Areas and documented Natural Heritage Element Occurrences in the study area . Many are located along the Cape Fear River. Large, forested floodplains extend like green fingers northward, help protect water quality, and could be part of a network of green space and trails if preserved in tandem with development. •' I 031819a HCBOC Page 89 AGRICULTURE During the course of the planning effort, preservation of farmland, open spaces and heritage lands was one of the most frequent l y stated desires of the study area community. Open fields on rolling terrain are signature features of the landscape of the northwest part of Harnett County, wh ich is described by some as the "Hills of Harnett". In addition to being a community value, agricultural and forestry production is a substantial asset to the Harnett County economy. Harnett County ranks 14th in the state in cash receipts. Cash receipts for agricu ltural products totaled over $201M in 2015 (Source: USDA). Major crops incl ude chickens, cotton , hay, and t obacco. There are 30,000 acres of forest in the study area (59% of land area) and timber ha r vested from Harnett County resu lted over $5,000,000 in revenue to landowners in Harnett County in 2016 (Source: NCSU College of Natural Resources). Maintaining agricultural lands, timber operations, and other elements that contribute to the rural character that draws peop le to the county wi l l be a challenge in the coming years given the development pressure extending southward from the Triangle region. ~ KEY STATS t-1------------- .,ffl 3 / 36 3 DESIGNP.l'EO NATURAL HERITAGE NAl'URALARE.4S ANtl 36 AAllE SP.ECIES OCCIJt<Rli.NCf;S !N SlUDY AREA 5,500 ACRES or PARKS ANO PUBLIC (JI.NO IN STUD\' ft.Aft~ 37,900 ACRES Of ~ARMS ANO FORtstk\' O!tl::RttT!ONS GREENWAYS AND MULTI -USE PATHS -10 MILES 30+ MILES OF GREt;NW!,YS Al~D lP.AUS COMPlEft t Olt CtMH~NWA.VS AND YAAIL~ ll'>l.A.Nt\lEll !N Tr{!£ sn .. ov Afl8'1 Key natural resources, agricultural and recreation/open space statistics for the study area ' Drakes L anding i s an im por tant agr i-tourism destination within the study area Harnett Coun t y Northwest Area Plan : 17 031819a HCBOC Page 90 ONLINE SURVEY W• want to hear from youl Tell us whai you'd 6ke to see In NW HomeN County Toke the Survey al: www iurv«vmonkev com/r/nwharntthuct,x A survey was conducted during the developmen t of the Northwest Area Plan. Over 330 responses were received. \,VHAT WE HEARD The Small Area Plan was developed through a process that included significant community input and regular communication with staff and steering committee members. Th rough stakeholder meet- ings, a public workshop, steering committee meetings, online and paper surveys, and discussion with staff, this plan was guided by the Northwest Harnett community and reflects their goals and priorities. Although the Plan w ill be adopted by the County, the input received during the process was representative of the issues and needs of the whole study area, which inclu des portions of the Town of Angier and the Town of Lillington. As such, Harnett County and partner municipal- ities will benefit from ongoing collaboration in the study area . Common themes of feedback from the steering committee and public participants include: Preservation of farmland, open spaces and heritage lands Concern about the negative impacts of growth (school crowding, traffic, demand for services, etc.) Support for small-scale commercial growth (esp. along US 407) Support for Job growth on 407 corridor and the Brightwater Sci- ence and Technology Campus area, as long as traffic is managed Preference for rural, larger-lot development or conservation design in new subdivisions An overwhelming majority of respondents (72%) wanted more un- disturbed natural areas in new developments Farms, working agricultural lands, areas important for water qualitY, and mature for ests were identified as areas that should be pre- serv.ed Responses to the survey indicated that residents preferr ed h igh -quality commercial areas with relatively small footprint. architectural details, and amenities .

Building off of the plan framework components outlined in Chapter 2 Framing the Plan, the Future Land Use Map encourages a land use pattern that protects rural heritage, agricultural uses and natural resources. The western portion of the study area is planned for Agricultural and Rural Residential, as well as Parks and Conservation. Th i s reflects the predominant existing land uses of this part of the County, and encourages these u ses to continue. The plan also tries to add additional guidance on how to steer growth to where it can be supported by infrastructure. It concentrates the majority of residential and commercial use along the 401 corridor, within the Neills Creek area and near adjacent municipalities. It also supports nonresidential growth in strategic l ocations and builds on existing employment centers and where there is adequate current o r planned transportation infrastructure, access and utility service.

Also includes environmentally sensitive areas, including floodplains and areas located in the Conservation O verlay Zoning District. Primary uses in these areas would be open space, forestry, and agriculture. AGRICULTURE AND RURAL RESIDENTIAL Primarily agricultural and forestry uses with some rural residential areas. These areas are located outside of existing and future utility service areas and rely on septic systems for wastewater treatment. They have a limited road network and in some cases lie within a High Quality Watershed or Water Supply Watershed area. The la ck of utility and transportation infrastru cture, the established low density development pattern and ongoing agricultural activities in these areas contribute to their rural character. This character can be enhanced by encouraging only low intensity uses such as agriculture and support industries, very low density single family residential (up to one dwelli ng per acre), and context sensitive rural design. Smaller lots would be permitted as part of a Rural Cluster Development, which would include 40% open space, and a maximum number o f 20 lots per development. LOW DENSITY RESIDENTIAL Single family detached re sidential intended to remain predominately suburban in character and provide for low density single-fam il y residential development on lots smaller than those in Agriculture and Rural Residential areas. Gross densities of 1-2 dwelling units per acre depending o n utilities, soil s, and character of adjacent development. Smaller lot sizes would be permitted as part of a Compatibility Developme nt, which would also include a higher amount of open space to preserve sensitive environmental areas. MEDIUM DENSfl'Y RESIDENTIAL Located in areas served by current or planned utilities, medium density residential permits a mi x of housing types including single family detached homes, small-lot homes and patio homes. Gross densities of up to 3 dwelling units per acre. Smaller lot sizes would be permitted as part of a Compatibility Development, which would also include a higher amount of conserved open space to preserve sens itive environmental areas. 031819a HCBOC Page 99 IN-TOWN RESIDENTIAL Due to proximity to towns and potential for municipal services, these areas are suitable fpr residential developments with a mix of housing types including single family detached homes with average lot sizes, small-lot homes, and patio homes that are complimentary of the existing historic residential development of nearby towns. Gross densities of up to 5 dwelling units per acre. Located in areas served by current or planned utilities and in areas near the extra-territorial jurisdiction (ETJ) of towns. Additional housing types (including townhomes and apartments) and higher densities may be appropriate as part of planned developments or near Development Nodes. RURAL CENTERS Small-scale commercial centers and nonresidential activity areas. The exact location and extent of the Rural Centers will be market driven, however, the non-residential footprint will usually be less than 50,000 square feet in these areas. Buildings should mimic historical scale and architectural details. Residential uses include smaller lot homes, patio homes, and some small-scale attached products (such as townhomes or quadplexes), where appropriate. COMMUNITY MIXED USE These areas are meant to be nodes or activity centers for growing areas in the county. They are located near concentrations of existing or planned residences and areas with access to major thoroughfares and utilities. These areas incorporate commercial uses including grocery stores, retail establishments, restaurants and services. Office, civic and institutional uses should complement commercial uses. Higher density residential including small lot single-family, townhomes, and apartments should be located in close proximity to shopping and service destinations and complimented by pedestrian facilities to provide more walking opportunities to internal and external destinations. The exact location and size of nonresidential areas will be dependent on market conditions. EMPLOYMENT MIXED USE These areas are located along major thoroughfares and include prime locations for economic development opportunities. Uses encouraged in the Employment Mixed Use areas include but are not limited to industrial, warehouse, office, research and development, tech-flex, medical, energy, and d istribution. Residential development is appropriate only when not in conflict with existing or future industry or commercial uses or focal development areas. Harnet t County Northwest Area Plan 27 031819a HCBOC Page 100 RECOMMENDATION 1 Protect rural character, working agriculture, and water quality in rural areas 1.1 : Discourage rezonings to higher density residential districts in Agriculture and Rural Residential (ARR) Areas Zoning in the Agricultural and Rural Re sidential a r ea in the Northwest Harne tt County Study Area is predominantly RA-4 0 and RA-3 0. Allowing rezonings to high density districts or approving large-scale Planned Unit Developments (PUDs) could have a negative impact on agricult ure and impact water quality Strategic down-zoning should also be considered. 1.2: Modify zoning and development standards and create incentives to encourage low density development and discourage inappropriate density in rural areas Many of the prime agricultural lands in the study area are located on relatively flat hilltops between steep stream corridors. These areas generally have good soils but are accessed via a sparse rural road network. Discouraging large-scale development in these areas and encouraging we/I-designed residential that fits into the landscape should be a priority of updated regulations. Implementation Strategies: • Modify the Compatibility Design section of the Unified Development Ordinance (UDO) that specifies context-sensitive development options in the Agricultural and Rural Residential areas on the Future Land Use Plan and allow these options throughout the Northwest Area. 28 Grow Harnett County • Add a Rural Cluster Option to the UDO that allows a small-scale minor subdivisi on option with flex ible standards to encourage innovative neighborhood design that fit s J,.i1il"Jh 1./.i. \ Cc,1,1fallllfli(, /Jr,~~,, C,,tJ«f/ 1;,b!t I ' , ... I '" i ' I "' i '" t · f ,,, . I ., 0 031819a HCBOC Page 101 within a rural context. • Des ign Criteria for a Rural Cluster Option could include: • Maximum gross density of 1 dwelling units per acre (DUA) or less • Maximum of 20-30 lots and minimum size of property (i.e . 20 -30 acres) • 10,000 square foot lot minimum • No public water or sewer requirement, but c onsider allowing off-site septic • Open Space Requirements & Standards • 30%-40% Open space with 10% minimum uplands • Emphasi ze natural / passive open space • Require stream and wetland buffers of 100 feet or more • Home Owner's Association (HOA) to assume maintenance / responsibility requirements of common open space • Rural street standards • Swale section, 20' of pavement • Private streets allowed if built to County / NCDOT Standards 1.3: Protect working agr icultural operations through site design The design details of new developments have the ability to mitigate the visual and environmental impacts that can occur when rural homesteads and farms are replaced with subdivisions. Modem agriculture is an industrial employment use. Respecting existing agricultural operations through site design can reduce conflicts in the future between new residents and existing and future farmers. I mplementation Strategies: Consider requiring or incentivizing working farmland buffers for subdivisions with lots smaller than 25,000 square feet in or adjacent to agricultural areas , especially those enrolled in the Present Use Value (PUV) program or Voluntary Agricultural Districts (VAD). Harnett County Northwest Are a Plan 29 031819a HCBOC Page 102 Consider requiring a perimeter buffer and/or additional building setback for new development located near working forestry or farm operations • For example requiring a landscaped buffer or tree save between pote ntial confl icting uses (i.e. -a 50 ft perimeter buffer and/or 200ft setback between new resident ial dwellings and exist ing agricultural operations). 1.4: Protect water quality in High Quality Waters and Water Supply Watersheds via site design Portions of Hector Creek, Avents Creek, Parker s Creek, Mill Creek and Coopers Branch are designated as High Quality Waters by the state of North Carolina. These streams are located west of US 407 and bordered by large forests that are in some places over a mile wide. Nearly all of the study area is located in a WS-IV water supply watershed as most s treams drain to the Cape Fear River above the intake in t h e vicinity of Lilling ton. Pro t ecting forests and limiting impervious surfaces will h e lp sa f eguard these str eams from degradation that is common to more developed areas such as trib utaries in Wake County Implementation Strategies: • Require and/or incentivize protection of riparian areas and tree canopy conservat ion in Compatibility Subdivisions • Consider increasing stream buffer requirements for perennial streams and/or requiring or incentivizing protection of riparian area s a long intermittent streams. • Update UDO to include a definition of priority conservation areas that includes riparian areas and stands of mature forest • Update Local Watershed Pro tection Ordinance • Include density and design c riteria for High Quality Waters that meet or exceed state requirements • Low Density Option: One (1) dwelling unit per acre or 12% built upon area • High D e nsity Option: No density limit spec ified, but must use NC Div. Of Water Quality, High Quality Waters, High Density'Option Standard. • Update allowance for cluster development, if using the High Density Option, to meet or exceed state requirements • Consider requiring additional riparian buffers and/or adding mitigation or enhancement options that results in a net benefit to the sub-watershed • Require stormwater best management practices in Compatibility Subdivisions that meet or exceed state regulations RECOMMENDATION 2 Increase standards for residential developments in the Low Density Residential (LOR) and Medium Density Residential (MDt'.t) areas 2 .1: Revise and clarify open space requirements and options for new development The forested hills and rolling agricultural fields of Northwest Harnett County are par t of what makes the area attractive t o new and existing residents. Preserving meaningful, usable open space as part of new development can be an amenity for new residents, help preserve the unique natural features of property and make a new neighborhoods fit more seamlessly into the landscape. Accessible parks and open space included as amenities in new development can help share the burden of park infrastructure and land acquisition costs. 3 0 Grow Harnett Coun ty 031819a HCBOC Page 103 Implementation Strategies: • lncentivize quality open space and recreational facilities • Encourage or require new developments in the Neills Creek watershed to utilize a conser vation design approach to subdivisions. • Allowances exist in the Compatibility Development options for smaller lots in exchange for high amounts of open space. Updates could be considered that include simplifying the options within the UDO and making a Conservation Design Option that is more attractive due to increased design flexibility or streamlined approval process. Harnett County Northwest Area Pl an 31 031819a HCBOC Page 104 Consider waiving all or part of the Recreation Fee-in-Lieu if recreation needs are addressed by new development. • Consider waiving half of the required Recreation Fee if land is reserved for a publicly accessible amenity, such as a park or greenway. • Consider waiving all of the required Recreation fee if recreation facilities are constructed and meet certain criteria. • Minimum criteria could include: • Inclusion of basic features (i.e. parking, an amenity, paths, etc.) • Public accessibility • Minimum sizes for parks and formal greenspaces • Minimum standards for sports fields • Minimum length for greenways or trails • Size or play structure requirements for playgrounds • Revise and clarify open space requirements • Require all Compatibility Subdivisions to include some amount of high quality open space. • Currently a 5,000 square foot break in lot size is allowed if public utilities are available. This provides an incentive for smaller lots without increasing any design requirements. Requiring more open space in new developments with access to public utilities would be a better sta ndard for the study area. • Define Primary and Secondary Conservation Areas (see Open Space & Natural Resource recommendations) and require identification of primary and secondary assets during development review process. • Improve standards for open space. Potential standard s could include: • Require a percentage of open space to be o utside of regulated features (i.e. floodplain, stream buffers and wetlands) • Dimensional and contiguity requirements (i.e. minimum size, >40-50% connected) • Revise "Open Space, Usable" definition (currently in PUD but not i n Compatibility Dev.), include undisturbed, natural areas, parks, greenways • Minimum % of active or improved • Access requirements, ownership and maintenance responsibilities • D eed restriction if open space maintained by HOA (preferred) • Exceptions (i.e. trail s, utilities, stormwater detention if naturalized) 2.2: Update standards for sidewalks, curb and gutter, street trees, perimeter buffers, on-street parking and loading in Low Density Residential (LOR) and Medium Density Residential (MOR) areas Small scale, low-density subdivisions fit well in rural areas, but larger-scale subdivisions with smaller lots have a greater impact on adjacent properties. generate more stormwater and may need higher standards to safeguard property values of nearby properties. Implementation Strategies • Standardized thresholds for sidewa lks, curb and gutter, street trees, perimeter buffers, on-street parking and loading 32 Grow Harn ett County • Consider simplifying options and adding a thre shol d related to the size or scale of subdivision • Consider allowance for s ubstitution of a defined amount of sidewa lk for an 8ft multi- use path in instances where a s imilar con nection between origins and destinations is made, or if it furthers a regional or local g r eenway system . • Requ ire perimeter buffe r when n ew r es idential subdiv i sion s a r e l ocate d adjacent t o 031819a HCBOC Page 105 lower dens ity residential and agricultural uses • Provi de an option for lots w ith w idths > 60' as part of a Planned Unit Developments but require rear-loaded lots for lots narrower than so·. • Consider requirements for on-street parking on local and collector str eets with lots s maller than 1/4 acre. RECOMMENDATION 3 Increase standards for commercial development 3.1 : Promote quality commercial and retail development at well-located sites. Strategically locating commercial development can reduce traffic and help build the non-residential tax base in the study area. Implementation Strategies • Encourage commercial and retail development at Commercial Mixed Use and Rural Centers located o n the Future Land Use Map. • Promote context-sensitive site design by creating a Hi ghway Overlay District similar to the NC 87 Overlay that specifies design criteria for new commercial development along US 401 and NC 210. • This overlay could s pecify building orientation, placement of parking , a "build-to" line that factors in t,ighway expa nsion, architecture standards, cross - access, landscaping , and screening requirements. Minimizing the amount o f parking between new commercial buil dings and the main road. and t he use of high quality materials and transparent facades can result in better gateways into Harnett County along US 401 and N C 210 Harnett County Northwest Area Plan 33 031819a HCBOC Page 106 RECOMMENDATION 4 Preserve opportunities for non-residential development 4 .1: Encourage industrial, distr ibution and office development in Employment Centers located on the Future Land Use Map. Three Employment Mixed Use areas are identified on the Future Land Use Map. These areas are located on major roads and have access to rail lines. They also are not located near any existing residential subdivisions. Preserving these sites for future employment bearing uses, improving visibility of these sites and access to infrastructure is a primary goal Implementation Strategies • Support rezonings that are consistent with the Future Land Use Map • Support rezonings of land within Employment Mixed Use areas to office/institutional. commercial, light industrial and industrial. • Discourage rezonings that accommodate large-scale residential subdivisions within Employment Mixed Use areas that could lead to conflicts with existing or future nonresidential development. 4 .2 : Encourage commercial development i ncluding retail, services, restaurants, and offices in areas designated Town Centers, Commercial Mixed Use , and Rural Centers on the Future Land Use Map. Growth of the existing commercial centers in the Town of Angier and the Town of Lillington is supported as well as smaller-scale commercial development at key intersections and in Rural Cen ters. Harnett Central H ospital is one of the anchors of Brightwater Scienc e & Te c hnology Campus, a mixed -u se medical, retail and busines s park in Lillington . 34 Grow Harnett County 031819a HCBOC Page 107 RECOMMENDATION 5 Support existing industries and recruitment of new businesses in Northwest Harnett County 5.1 : Support recruitment and marketing efforts. Northwest Harnett County has a solid employment base and available land in key sites and along major highways that can be focus areas in county-wide economic development strategies. Na t ural resources such as the Cape Fear River and Raven Rock State Park can also be a draw for tourism. Implementation Strategies • Support recruitment efforts targeted at f inding new tenants for existing business and industrial parks • Brightwater Mixed Use Business Campus • Tri-South Industrial Park • Develop additional marketing materials in support of economic development in Northwest Harnett County • Highlight available sites on the Harnett Economic Develo pment website • Support the development of marketing co llateral for the Cape Fear River and Raven Rock State Park in cooperation w it h th e Dunn Area Tourism Authority 5.2: Improve access to and provision of services for potential economic development opportunities. Many sites along US 407 have great access to the Triangle Region. Improving cross- access to undeveloped properties may help preserve capacity of t he highway Improving access to sewer may make industrial and commercial sites more marketable. Implementation Strategies • Evaluate and update site design and cross -access requirements for new businesses along major corridors to improve access to future development sites • Encourage a collector street network to be built incrementally with development • Primary connection s needed are parallel connections run n ing north to south east and west of US 401. The se connections will open tracts of la nd for future deve lopment and improve resiliency o f the road network 5 .3 : Preserve the viability of agricultural operations . Agriculture and forestry activities contribute significantly to the Hamett County economy Preserving the viability of these operations is important for cultural, economic and environmental reasons. Implementation Strategies • Continue to require notification of new development within 1 mile of Voluntary Agricultural Districts (VADs) about act ive fa rmin g operations. • Encourage participation in the Vol untary Ag ricultural D istrict (VAD) program • Discourage expansion of sewer service into areas des ignated as Agricu ltural and Rural Res idential o n the Future Land Use Map west of US 401 • Promote context-sensitive residential adjacent t o working agricultural operations • El eme n ts of context-sensitive residential incl ude very low density development and buffering between new re sidentia l and exi sting agricu ltural operati o n s Harnett County Northwest Area Pl an 35 031819a HCBOC Page 108 RECOMMENDATION 6 System Level Recommendations 6 .1 Plan for long-term roadway improvements Traff ic in the study area is projecte d to increas e substa ntially by 204 5, wit h Future Year volumes on US 407 of 22,4 00 cars per day Th e se t raff ic estima tes may be underestimated due to inaccuracies with future year model n e twork and demographic pro jections. Implementation Strategies: • Reserve right-of-way along key corridors that is sufficient to accommodate future roadway improvements and new collector street connections . • US 401 and NC 210: 120 Feet of right-of-way should be reserved along these major highways in order to accommodate an eventual widening to 4 lane boulevards • 100ft of right-of-way should be reserved along Piney-Grove Wilbon Road for a future widening to four lanes • Other future improvements that are recommended include widening of roads to three lanes and collector streets shown on the map on the next page. 70-80' of right-of-way is recommended for all roads in orange (not mentioned above) and new location collector streets. 60' or right-of-way is recommended for new local connections shown in yellow on the map on page 38. 6.2: Coordinate with CAMPO on updates to the reg ional travel demand model to better reflect roadway improvement plans and land use trends. The long-term plans for US 407 and land use trends in Northwest Harne tt County have evolved since the last regional transportation planning effort. Updates to the model network and populat ion and employment forecasts should occur to make sure traffic forecasts are as accura t e as possible. Implementation Strategies: Correct travel model network prior to the next Metropolitan Transportation Plan (MTP) • Remove the new US 401 location and properly reflect the Angier Shallow B y pass that is planned. • Update socio-economic data to reflect land use trends. Previous housing fore casts do not adequately reflect the location of d eve lopment propo sal s. For instance more d evelopment will be loading on US 401 that is anticipated in th e current model. 6 .3 : Utilize recommendations in the Comp rehens ive Transportation Plan during development review and update regu larly to include and refine based on recommendations in recent plans . The Harnett County Comprehensive Transportation Plan was adopted in 2076 and amended in 2077 Updates to the plan should be made to reflect more recent planning efforts such as the NW Harnett Area Plan and the CAMPO Southwest Area Study Implementat ion Strat egies: 36 Grow Ha rn ett County Ensure that the CTP is incorporated into zoning and development reviews, and that righ t of way is rese rved and/or dedicated at the time of development 031819a HCBOC Page 109 • Require new development to leave adequate room for future rights of way and widening by prohibiting the placement of code-required development components (such as septic fields, landscaping, signs, parking and buildings) within planned rights-of-way. 6.4: Update policies and standards related to street design and improvements required with development. Implementation Strategies: • Amend tables, associated requirements and codes in the Unified Development Ordinance • Update standard street sections for all street types, including those associated with cluster development. • Require Traffic Impact Analysis (TIA) for developments that generate 100 or more peak hour trips, or 1,000 average daily trips (based on most current ITE trip generation manual). • Turn lanes (left turn and right deceleration lane) with appropriate stacking shall be required for any subdivision or development project that creates the equivalent traffic at a single access point of: • 20 -30 single family homes. • Right-of-way for turn lanes shall be dedicated at either subdivision platting or a s a condition of final site plan approval of the portion of the project that generates the need for the dedication. • Consider implementing a fee -in -lieu structure for improvements • For projects that generate less than the amount above, they shall provide fee-in- lieu to the County for t heir proportional share of a turn lane costs. • The County could hold and then provide that fee to the next developer that triggers the construction of the turn lane. Fee is due at time of plat or as a condition of final site plan approval.· • Fee-i n-lieu of construction may be an option, at County and NCDOT discretion. RECOMMENDATION 7 Priority Roadway Improvements 7.1 Support incremental improvements along US 401 Current traffic volumes on US 407 do not necessitate a four lane road. but as new residential development occurs intersection improvements and a road widening will likely be necessary Implementation Strategies: • Intermediate Intersection Improvements should be studied at the following locations along US 401 at Piney Grove Wilbon Road , Rawls Church Road and Chalybeate Springs Road • Prioritize US 401 north o f Chalybeate Springs for future widening to four lanes 7.2 Support the widening of Rawls Church Road and Purfoy Road to three lane s It Roadway Recommendations Harn ett Co unty No rthwes l Area Plan 37 031819a HCBOC Page 110 ,,R I • is anticipated that Rawls Church Road and Purfoy Road will provide key connections between US 407 and Angier and from Harnett County to Fuquay Varina and eventually the Southeast Extension of 1-540.

RECOMMENDATION 13 Encourage high-quality, accessible open space in new residential development 13.1: Revise and clarify open space requirements and options for new developments See reco mmendations on page 30 13.2 Prioritize the preservation of primary and secondary conservation areas Current regulations encourage the preserva t ion of open space, however. there is little guidance to spec ify what types of open space should be preserved Defining primary and secondary conservation areas can result in the reservation of higher quality open space. Implementation Strategies: • Define primary and secondary conservation areas • These shou ld include priorities expressed during this planning effort including those features that protect rural character and help to preserve water quality. • Primary and secondary conservation areas can be specified in the Unified Development Ordinance and shou ld include: • Primary conservation areas could include: Floodplains (100 and 500 year), riparian areas (up to 300ft on each side of streams), and mature forests , farms and working lands, and future greenway corridors • Secondary conservation areas could include: Steep slopes, scenic views, more formal parks, sports fields, playgrounds, historic structures, land adjacent to conserved areas and heritage t rees • These areas should be required to be identified during the development review process. A defined percentage of primary conservation areas should be preserved first, if present, then secondary conservation areas can count towards open spa ce dedication requirements. RECOMMENDATION 14 Prioritize Protection of Stream Buffers 14.1: Protect stream buffers.

Del i neating greenway corridors ensures that access is maintained in areas that are sui tab le for conservation and recreation. It is easier and cheaper to reserve greenway corridors before property is developed. After land is subdivided and sold for development, this process can be more difficult. Trai l Width Where a paved trail surface is provided, 10-feet is the recommended m inimum trail width. The trail should have a 2' level clear zone on each side of the trail between the traveled surface and any obstructions such as trees, walls, or fences . Thi s trail cross-section is adequate for most moderately used trails shared by bicyclists and pe- destrians. Where there is heavy use by multiple user types, 12-feet is the recommend- ed minimum width because it al l ows more space for trail users of all ages and abilities to share comfortably, and more space for trail users to pass. Alternatively, a separate track (5 feet minimum) can be provided to separate bicyclists from pedestrians. In these areas , the pedestrian zone should be placed closer to the scenic or natural amenity. Sidepath Trails Along roadways, the recommended separation is 6.5 feet (<25 mph) but may widen to 24 feet (>= 55mph) at road crossings. Wherever possible, the sidepath should be de- signed to provide a natural buffer of trees and native plantings between the trail and the roadway. A high-visibility marked crosswalk with warning signage may be appropriate at side- path crossings with low motor vehicle speeds, volumes and clear sight lines. Additional crossing enhancements may be necessary on high speed and high-volume roadways. SOURCE SMAL~ TOWN AND RURAL MULrlMODAl. NETWORKS GUIDE, fllWA 46 Grow Harnett County 031819a HCBOC Page 119 Median islands are beneficial to break up the crossing into two parts on roadways with three or more travel lanes or those that have higher volumes and speeds . Median islands particularly bene- f it people who may travel slower, such as children, older adults , and people with disabilities. Greenway Easements The land acquired for a greenway, whatever its acquisition method, must be wide enough to accommodate the construction and main- tenance of the trail. In most cases it will be desirable to have a cor- ridor wide enough to preserve natural vegetation. provide a scenic route for trail users, provide a buffer to nearby developments, avoid obstacles and preserve stream buffers. Several factors contribute to increased corridor widths of stream-associated greenways. These include utility obstacles (i.e. poles, towers, manholes) and environmental conditions (100-year floodplain, steep slopes, and wetlands). While sewer easements typically range in width according to the size of the line, it is best practice in places where greenways are proposed along sewers to dedicate a joint easement of 50 feet in width for both sanitary sew- er and greenway use. This allows the trail to stay out of the wettest parts of the corridor, avoid manholes, provide space for boardwalks and bridge structures but still allows the trail to take advantage of areas where clearing has already occurred to minimize environ- mental impacts. Where easements can provide double duty, they should, provided they don't interfere with the utility or function of the uses. In riparian areas, it is best practice to include the stream buffers and 100-year floodplain in the greenway easement. The first 30 feet from the top of the stream bank (area nearest the stream) should remain undisturbed. In key places the width of the ease- ment may need to b e as wide as 100 feet in order to accommodate in areas where the trail routes to the narrowest points of creeks. drainage area s or waterways for co st savings on bridges and boardwalks or in areas where steep slopes could require switch- backs. This also permits space for minor relocations of the trail in the future in case of erosion or need for stream bank resto - ration.
