REASONING: The impact to the surrounding community is reasonable, as the requested zoning district is compatible with surrounding parcels. HCBOC 040422 Pg. 4 Harnett County Board of Commissioners March 21, 2021 Regular Meeting Minutes Page 3 of 4 •The requested zoning district is COMPATIBLE with the existing Land Use Classification. REASONING: The requested zoning to RA-20R is compatible with the overall land use classification of Compact Mixed Use, as well as within the Compatibility Development Target area. The Compact Mixed Use classification is in areas that are known for growing, activity centers based on potential utility availability, access to major thoroughfares, and higher density developments. •The proposal does ENHANCE or maintain the public health, safety and general welfare. REASONING: The requested zoning to RA-20R would enhance or maintain the public health, safety and general welfare due to the residential setting that it is located in. •The request is not for a SMALL SCALE REZONING and should be evaluated for reasonableness. REASONING: Since this parcel is adjacent to residential zoning, this application does not need to be evaluated for a Small Scale Rezoning.
