Evaluation
Yes No The IMPACT to the adjacent property owners and the surrounding community is
reasonable, and the benefits of the rezoning outweigh any potential inconvenience or
harm to the community.
REASONING: The impact to the surrounding community is reasonable, as the
requested zoning district is similar in nature as the surrounding area.
Yes No The requested zoning district is COMPATIBLE with the existing Land Use Classification.
REASONING: The requested zoning is compatible with the Land Use classification of
Medium Density Residential, as well as within the Compatibility Development Target
area. The MDR land use class could have lot densities that range from 2-5 units per
acre. The Compatibility Target area is based on potential water & sewer availability,
which leads to flexibility in lot sizes.
Yes No The proposal does ENHANCE or maintain the public health, safety and general welfare.
REASONING: The requested rezoning to RA-30, would enhance or maintain the public
health, safety, and general welfare due to the existing residential uses within the area.

Yes No The request is for a SMALL SCALE REZONING and should be evaluated for
reasonableness.
REASONING: Since this parcel is adjacent to the same zoning district, this application
does not need to be considered for a Small Scale rezoning.
Suggested Statement-of-Consistency (Staff concludes that…)
As stated in the evaluation, the requested rezoning to RA-30 would not have an unreasonable impact on
the surrounding community based on the existing residential uses and compatibility with the County’s
Land Use Plan. Therefore, it is recommended that this rezoning request be APPROVED.
Additional Information
On November 2nd, the Harnett County Planning Board voted unanimously (4-0) to recommend approval of
application based on compatibility with the Land Use Plan and the residential uses in this area.
No one spoke in opposition.
