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 to adjacent zoning districts.
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
Agricultural & Rural Residential. These areas are typically outside of public sewer
service areas and often within the Water Supply Watershed areas. Lower density,
single-family residential lots greater than ½ acre are compliant with these watershed
regulations.
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.
STAFF REPORT Page 5 of 5
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. Therefore, it is recommended that this
rezoning request be APPROVED.
Additional Information
On January 4th, the Harnett County Planning Board voted unanimously (5-0) to recommend approval of
application based on compatibility with the residential uses in this area.
No one spoke in opposition.
