Article VII Development Design Guidelines
Section 13.0 Other Improvement Standards
Recreation & Park Development
All residential subdivisions and developments, except minor subdivisions, shall provide funds to the County whereby the County may acquire public recreation and park land or areas to
serve the development or subdivision in the immediate area.
The amount of such fee shall be the product of the total number of dwelling units and/or building lots located in the development or subdivision multiplied by the recreation fee as established
by The Harnett County Board of Commissioners.
The fee shall be paid prior to approval of a final plat for the subdivision, provided that payments may be phased in accordance with the approved phasing of the subdivision.
The County may transfer funds paid by one (1) or more subdivisions to a municipality or make arrangements for the joint County/municipal expenditure of the funds where the County determines
that such transfer or arrangements would better ensure the funds will be used to acquire public recreation and park areas that will serve the recreational needs of the development and
developments in the immediate area.
In situations where a development has already been approved prior to the adoption of the Harnett County Bicycle, Pedestrian, & Greenway Plan, the developer may choose to build the prescribed
facility in place of paying all or a portion of the above described recreation fee. If it is desirable to provide for such improvements, this discussion and review shall be conducted
by the Development Review Board and any of its advisory members, as per policy and standards set by the Harnett County Parks & Recreation Advisory Committee. Upon approval, the applicant
and the County may enter into a development agreement as set forth in article VI, Section 8.0 of this Unified Development Ordinance.
