Reason for Requested Change:
Due to some recent legal findings, and therefore upon guidance from Harnett County Legal Services Department, Development Services requests to remove the option of residential sprinklers
if fire protection cannot be met via adequate water pressure within a water line. The court’s position on residential sprinklers also leads staff to remove this option within Planned
Unit Developments, which in these cases were implemented as superior design criteria for density bonus incentives.
Suggested Statement-of-Consistency: (Staff concludes that…)
The requested Text Amendment is compatible with the Harnett County Comprehensive Growth Plan as well as the more recent Northwest Area Plan. Therefore, it is recommended that this Text
Amendment request be APPROVED.
