Mr. Locklear noted on February 4, 2019, the Harnett County Planning Board voted unanimously (4-0) to recommend approval based on compliance with the County's Land Use Plan, compliance with the NW Area Plan, as well as the area's existing nonresidential uses.

Services available include Harnett County public water and private septic tank. Mr. Locklear stated staff's evaluation as: The IMPACT to the adjacent property owners and the surrounding community is reasonable, and the benefits of the rezoning outweigh any potential inconvenience or harm to the community. REASONING: The requested zoning change to Commercial will not have a negative impact on the community, as it is similar in nature to existing zoning districts and development patterns in this area. The requested zoning district is COMPATIBLE with the existing Land Use Classification. REASONING: The requested zoning is compatible with the existing Land Use classification of a Compact Mixed Use, as well as within the Compatibility Development Target area. These two designations highlight growing areas of the County that consist of planned residential areas mixed with a variety of nonresidential uses. The proposal does ENHANCE or maintain the public health, safety and general welfare. REASONING: The requested rezoning to Commercial would maintain or enhance the public health, safety and general welfare due to the area's existing commercial uses as well as the potential site improvements that would be required. The request is NOT for a SMALL SCALE REZONING and should be NOT be evaluated for reasonableness. REASONING: Due to the size of the tract, as well as the close proximity of like districts, this application does not need to be evaluated for Small Scale Rezoning. Suggested Statement -of -Consistency: Staff concludes that the requested rezoning to Commercial is compatible with Harnett County regulatory documents and would not have an unreasonable impact on the surrounding community based on the existing nonresidential uses in this area as well as the County's Land Use Plan designation for this area therefore it is recommended that this rezoning request be approved. Chairman Springle called to order a public hearing on the matter and opened the meeting for comments from the public. Wayne Mauldin, the applicant, spoke in favor of the rezoning request. Matt Mouzon of 192 Meredith Lane spoke in opposition of the rezoning request. Hannah Aggie of 174 Meredith Lane spoke in opposition of the rezoning request.
