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 there are
several nonresidential uses in this area.
Yes No The requested zoning district is COMPATIBLE with the existing Land Use Classification.
REASONING: The requested zoning to Commercial is compatible with Land Use
classification, as there is a Rural Center development node around this intersection.
Rural Center development nodes can involve small-scale commercial/ non-residential
centers.
Yes No The proposal does ENHANCE or maintain the public health, safety and general welfare.
REASONING: The requested zoning would maintain the public health, safety and
general welfare due to area’s existing commercial uses in the area, as well as the
potential site improvements that would be required.
Yes No The request is for a SMALL SCALE REZONING and should be evaluated for
reasonableness.
REASONING: Due to the Land Use compatibility and the proposed zoning district exists
directly across the street, this application does not need to be evaluated for Small Scale
Rezoning.
Additional Information
On November 7, the Harnett County Planning Board voted unanimously (5-0) to recommend approval of
this rezoning due to the nonresidential uses in this area.
- No one spoke in opposition
Suggested Statement-of-Consistency (Staff concludes that…)
As stated in the evaluation, the requested rezoning to Commercial would not have an unreasonable
impact on the surrounding community based on compliance with the County’s Land Use Plan, as well as
the existing nonresidential uses in this area. Therefore, it is recommended that this rezoning request be
APPROVED.
