Services Available Water: Public (Harnett County) Private (Well) Other: Unverified Sewer: Public (Harnett County) Private (Septic Tank) Other: unverified Transportation: Annual Daily Traffic Count: 6,500 on Nursery Rd Site Distances: Moderate 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 requested Land Use classification change to Medium Density Residential will not have a negative impact on the surrounding properties as the same classification exists for adjacent properties. Yes No The requested zoning district is COMPATIBLE with the existing Land Use Classification. REASONING: The requested Land Use classification is compatible with the existing Land Use as this classification is of a residential nature, and is the same classification as on the adjacent properties. Yes No The proposal does ENHANCE or maintain the public health, safety and general welfare. REASONING: The requested Medium Density Residential classification would enhance or maintain the public health, safety, and general welfare since the zoning will be maintained as RA-20R. Therefore, permitted uses, lot sizes, etc will remain the same. Yes No The request is for a SMALL SCALE REZONING and should be evaluated for reasonableness. REASONING: The subject area is immediately adjacent to the designation of Medium Density Residential and therefore this does not need to be evaluated for a Small Scale amendment. Suggested Statement-of-Consistency (Staff concludes that…) As explained in the evaluation, the requested Land Use Map amendment is compatible with Harnett County regulatory documents and would not have an unreasonable impact on the surrounding community due to the existing Medium Density Residential designated areas adjacent to the property as well as the maintaining the current zoning district. Therefore, it is recommended that this reclassification request be APPROVED.
