Jay Sikes, Assistant Development Services Director/ Manager of Planning Services, petitioned
the Board for a public hearing on Proposed Text Amendment: Case # PLAN2302-0003;
Applicant: Harnett County Development Services; Harnett County Unified Development
Ordinance; Article XII, Sections 2.6.1. General Land Use Plan Amendments. It is proposed to
add the following: These amendments shall be considered twice a year with at least a two month
staff review time period after an application has been received. Specific dates shall be published
by Development Services at the beginning of the calendar year. Development Services staff
recommends approval based on compatibility with the County regulatory documents. At their
March 6th meeting, the Harnett County Planning Board voted unanimously (5-0) to recommend
approval of the text amendment as written, specifically because the County is undergoing the
process to update the Comprehensive Land Use Plan. Chairman Nicol opened the public
hearing. No one spoke and the public hearing was closed. Commissioner Weatherspoon made a
motion to approve the Text Amendment. The motion was seconded Commissioner Matthews
and carried unanimously. (Attachment 1)
Sarah Arbor, Planner II, Development Services petitioned the Board for a public hearing on
roposed Zoning Change: Case # PLAN2301-0001; Landowner / Applicant: Charles W Harwell;
9.15 +/- acres; Pin # 9576-43-9434.000; From Commercial/Conservation to RA-
20R/Conservation Zoning District; NC Hwy 87 S; Barbecue Township.
Ms. Arbor stated staff’s evaluation is:
• The impact to the surrounding community is reasonable as there are several
nonresidential uses in this area.
• The requested zoning to Commercial is compatible with Land Use classification,
Employment Mixed Use. The Employment Mixed Use land use classification
encourages economic development, and the uses permitted in the proposed zoning
support economic growth.
• 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.
• Due to the Land Use compatibility and the proximity of the proposed zoning to the
subject property, this rezoning request does not need to be evaluated for Small Scale
Rezoning.

Page 3 of 6
As stated in the evaluation, the requested rezoning to RA-20R is compatible with the Harnett
County Land Use Plan and would not have an unreasonable impact on the surrounding
community because of the compatible existing residential land uses and the zoning classification
in this area. It is recommended that this rezoning request be APPROVED. On March 6th, 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.
Chairman Nicol opened the public hearing and the following person spoke:
• Alan Longman of 234 Hamilton Road, Bunnlevel, NC, spoke in opposition of the
proposed rezoning request.
No one else spoke and the public hearing was closed. Vice Chairman Morris made a motion to
approve the requested rezoning to RA-20R. Chairman Nicol seconded the motion. The motion
carried unanimously. (Attachment 2)
Ms. Arbor also petitioned the Board for a public hearing on Proposed Zoning Change: Case #
PLAN2302-0001; JPF Properties, LLC; 10.91 +/- acres; Pin #’s 1537-26-3967.000 & 1537-27-
3212.000; From RA-30 to Commercial Zoning District; SR # 1709 (Hodges Chapel Rd);
Averasboro Township.
Ms. Arbor stated staff’s evaluation is:
• The impact to the surrounding community is reasonable as there are several
nonresidential uses in this area.
• The requested zoning to Commercial is compatible with Land Use classification,
Employment Mixed Use. The Employment Mixed Use land use classification
encourages economic development, and the uses permitted in the proposed zoning
support economic growth.
• 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.
• Due to the Land Use compatibility and the proximity of the proposed zoning to the
subject property, this rezoning request does not need to be evaluated for Small Scale
Rezoning.
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. On March 6th, 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. Chairman Nicol opened the public
hearing. No one spoke and the public hearing was closed. Commissioner Matthews made a

motion to approve the rezoning to Commercial Zoning District. The motion was seconded by
Vice Chairman Morris and the motion carried unanimously. (Attachment 3)
Ms. Arbor also petitioned the Board for a public hearing on a Proposed Zoning Change: Case #
PLAN2302-0002; JPF Properties, LLC; 8.88 +/- acres; Pin #’s 1538-32-2851.000; From RA-
20R to Commercial Zoning District; SR # 1840 (Robin Hood Rd); Averasboro Township.
Ms. Arbor stated staff’s evaluation is:
• The impact to the surrounding community is reasonable due to the existing
nonresidential uses in this area.
• The requested zoning to Commercial is compatible with Employment Mixed Use Land
Use classification. The Employment Mixed Use land use is a development node that
encourages opportunities for economic development along major thoroughfares. The
uses permitted in the Commercial zoning district support the intent of the underlying
land use.
• The requested zoning would maintain the public health, safety and general welfare due
to area’s existing non-residential uses, as well as the potential site improvements that
would be required.
• Due to the compatibility of the underlying land use with the requested zoning and the
proximity of the requested zoning district to the subject property, the request to rezone
this property from RA-20R to Commercial does not need to be evaluated for Small
Scale Rezoning.
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. On March 6, the Harnett County
Planning Board voted unanimously (5-0) to recommend approval of this rezoning due to the I-95
location and the amount of existing nonresidential zoned parcels in this area. No one spoke in
opposition. Chairman Nicol opened the public hearing and the following person spoke:
• Alan Longman of 234 Hamilton Road, Bunnlevel, NC, expressed concerns with the
property not having any water.
Ms. Arbor stated it sounded to me, that the main concern was that there would be capacity for a
water line. Those questions would be better for Harnett Regional Water and those costs would
have to be absorbed by the developer.
Mark Locklear, Development Services Director stated all of the requirements for water, sewer,
all those things, are worked out with the site plan phase. I would remind you everyone, we are
talking about a rezoning request tonight. Water, sewer, those things, would come at a later date
when the property is actually developed.

approve the requested rezoning to Commercial. The motion was seconded by Vice Chairman
Morris and carried unanimously. (Attachment 4)

Board Meeting
Agenda Item
MEETING DATE: April 3, 2023
TO: HARNETT COUNTY BOARD OF COMMISSIONERS
SUBJECT: Appointment to the Board of Equalization & Review
REQUESTED BY: Brent Trout, County Manager
REQUEST:
In December, the Board agreed to hold the appointment of Michael Jackson, District 3
to the Board of Equalization and Review until his case is completed. In the 2021
resolution, at the end of Section 5 it states “If the Commissioners do not select an
individual to fill a vacancy or if the Commissioners do not receive a qualified candidate
to fill a vacancy, the vacancy shall be filled by a Commissioner.” In the original
resolution which is attached to the 2021 resolution, a commissioner serving in the Board
of E&R may vacate their seat by requesting that the Board of Commissioners appoint a
replacement. Until that replacement is appointed, the Commissioner must continue to
serve. At the work session held on March 28, 2023, consensus of the Board of
Commissioners was to place the appointment of Commissioner Brooks Matthews to the
Board of Equalization and Review on the next consent agenda.
Administration requests the Board of Commissioners approve the appointment of
Commissioner Brooks Matthews to the Board of Equalization and Review.
