PUBLIC SAFETY TELECOMMUNICATORS WEEK PROCLAMATION
WHERAS, this week is a time to show our appreciation and to recognize that our health, safety, and well-
being are often dependent on the commitment and steadfast devotion of Public Safety Telecommunicators, because
emergencies can occur at any time that require police, fire, emergency medical service, or other critical services;
and
WHERAS, when an emergency occurs the prompt response of law enforcement, firefighters, and medical
personnel is critical to the protection of life and preservation of property; and
WHEREAS, the safety of our police officers and firefighters is dependent upon the quality and accuracy of
information obtained from citizens who telephone the Harnett County 911 Communications Center; and
WHEREAS, Public Safety Telecommunicators are the first and most critical contact our citizens have with
emergency services. These dedicated men and women are the First, First Responders and are more than anonymous
voices on the telephone line. They are trained professionals who provide life-saving instructions over the phone; and
WHEREAS, Emergency responders rely on their knowledge and professionalism to make critical decisions,
obtain information, and quickly dispatch needed assistance. Public Safety Telecommunicators are the single vital
link for our law enforcement officers, firefighters and emergency services agencies by monitoring their activities by
radio, providing them information, and ensuring their safety; and
WHEREAS, Public Safety Telecommunicators at the Harnett County 911 Center have assisted with the
apprehension of criminals, suppression of fires, and provided life-saving instructions, ultimately giving someone a
“second chance at life.” The work of these “unseen heroes” is invaluable in emergency situations, and each of these
dedicated men and women deserves our heartfelt appreciation. Citizens place their trust in these individuals, not just
this week, but every day of the year; and
WHEREAS, each Telecommunicator exhibits compassion, understanding, and professionalism during the
performance of their job assisting those in need;
NOW, THEREFORE, LET IT BE PROCLAIMED, in recognition of the men and women of the Harnett
County 911 Center, whose diligence and professionalism keep the responders, citizens and visitors of Harnett
County safe, we do hereby proclaim the week of April 9th - April 15th, 2023 as National Public Safety
Telecommunicator Week.

1.0 Purpose and Background
Harnett County is seeking proposals for professional planning services to assist in the development and
production of an updated Comprehensive Land Use Plan. Proposals should demonstrate a consultant’s
competence, experience, and qualifications in providing services. Vendors must have experience
successfully working in the state of North Carolina.
Purpose:
The Request for Proposal is intended to solicit proposals from qualified consultants for the development of
Harnett County’s Comprehensive plan. The Comprehensive Plan will be forward thinking and address
anticipated growth in a way that preserves community character, reduces sprawl, maximizes existing
infrastructure, enhances multi-modal opportunities, considers environmental impacts, and improves
quality of life. The process will include the inventory, analysis, and synthesis of information, which will be
organized into a series of planning elements: Land Use, Transportation, Public Utilities, Economic
Development, Parks & Natural Resources, County Jetport, Growth Capacity, Regional/ Inter-Jurisdictional
Coordination, and Housing– Analysis of Market and Affordable Housing.
The Comprehensive Plan will serve as both a physical plan and policy guide, and will be used by elected
officials and appointed boards, staff, community members, and other decision makers who are charged
with shaping how Harnett County will grow in the future.
A detailed description of services to be provided is outlined under “Scope of Work”.
Background:
Harnett County is located in Central North Carolina between Raleigh and Fayetteville. There are five (5)
municipalities located in the County, the largest of these being the City of Dunn. The County includes 601
square miles and a population of approximately 143,573.
Harnett County is experiencing rapid growth. The county experienced a 16.5% increase in population from
2010 to 2020. Much of this growth has been outside of the incorporated towns, which make up
approximately 20% of the county population. The County’s proximity to Raleigh and the Fayetteville area
and the Highway 87 & I-95 corridors make Harnett County a desired location for residents, businesses, and
industry.
2.0 General Information
2.1 Request for Proposal Document
The RFP is comprised of this RFP document, any attachments, and any addenda released before Contract
award. All attachments and addenda released for this RFP in advance of any Contract award are incorporated

Attn: Renea Warren-Ford
Purchasing Specialist
455 McKinney Parkway
Lillington, NC 27546
HCBOC 041123 ws Pg. 63

5.0 Scope of Work
The selected consultant(s), with direction from the County and its residents, will engage the community in a
participatory process; facilitate public meetings; prepare the proposed plan for review by county
departments and elected officials; and, based on this collective information and input, finalize the updated
Comprehensive Plan.
The Comprehensive Plan will be adopted by County Commissioners in order to provide direction to County
officials, staff, residents, businesses, and the development community t o implement the County’s goals.
5.1 Key Principles and Elements
A Steering Committee made up of elected and appointed officials, County staff, and involved
members of the community will be formed. Additionally, a sub-committee will also be formed for
Economic Development-specific purposes that will work with this overall Steering Committee. These
committees will provide guidance and direction to the consultant throughout the development of the
plan and will make a recommendation to the Board of Commi ssioners for adoption of the plan.
Please include meeting schedules, project timelines, key contacts, and other pertinent information
needed to ensure a successful partnership and completion of the project. County staff will aid in
providing technical and logistical support for the project.
Public Participation should be an integral part of the development of the plan. Staff envisions a grass-
roots approach to the development of the plan that will include website outreach via the county
website, social media, electronic surveys, info booths at local events, and other forms of community
outreach to achieve this objective. Furthermore, a preliminary meeting is required with each steering
committee and a minimum of three public drop-in works sessions, and a final Public Hearing
presentation. One drop-in session shall have a focus on wildlife and environmental concerns to
accommodate the wildlife grant the department was recently awarded. Staff will aid in logistics,
prepare materials and assist with presentations to the Planning Board and Board of Commissioners as
well as participate in drop-in sessions.
The proposed Land Use Plan should be based upon a common vision developed via input from the
community. It should break the County into small growth areas and be easy to read and to use by
county staff, elected officials, the Planning Board, and the community in general. It should include
goals and strategies for addressing each of the elements described below, as well as specific steps for
implementing the plan and keeping it up-to-date. Staff will be available to assist in the preparation of
the plan’s content and maps, as needed.
5.2 Comprehensive Land Use Plan Components
The following components are expected:
a) Land Use:
Evaluation of the Department’s existing policies and programs;
Serve as the primary policy guide for short and long-range planning, zoning and development
decision-making within the county;
The Comprehensive Plan shall also serve as a necessary first step and guideline toward systematic
HCBOC 041123 ws Pg. 64
8
revisions of the county’s existing land use and development regulations;
Should include an anticipated future land use map.
b) Transportation/Mobility (including pedestrian and bicycle):
Harnett has grown and will grow significantly in the coming years. As a result, the current
infrastructure has experienced increased traffic, significant commute times, and added costs for
residents. Improving access to regional destinations is a paramount transportation concern.
Other key issues are maintaining mobility on key arterials, adding a connected road network as
growth occurs, and providing multi-modal transportation options. The location and intensity of
development envisioned in the existing plan’s future land use map are mean t to decrease the trip
length, and vehicle miles traveled.
Also, NCDOT and the County will be working on an updated CTP and we would like to include
elements of that plan here.
c) Public Utilities and Infrastructure:
The County would like to include the Harnett Regional Water’s existing plans for the various parts of
the County at the very least as it pertains to the growth of the County. Details of this component
could include:
Existing Conditions evaluation:
o County System only, not including municipal areas.
o Description of current facilities (summary of everything described in current W&S plans
and then updated with information provided by the Public Utilities staff)
o Description of planned facilities (summary of everything described in current W&S plans
then updated with information provided by the Public Utilities staff)
o Summary of service areas, including agreements with other jurisdictions/service
providers.
o Map of existing County service areas, and existing and planned County facilities.
Possibly, two maps: water and wastewater.
o Water and sewer usage trends and issues (collected from current W&S plans, and
refined with information provided by the Public Utilities staff and through stakeholder
input)
Description of Municipal Systems – general information that clarifies relationship of their service
areas to County service areas. Also, general information about their operations and needs,
especially that which could have an impact on the County service or systems.
Map of Easily Served Catchments (subsets of sub-watersheds)-
This may help refine delineation of future service areas
d) Economic Development Strategies
Harnett County’s current economic conditions are being shaped by global trends that are rapidly
changing the competitive landscape. Urbanization is a significant trend in NC and around the world.
Harnett County has only 44 percent of its population living in the county's urban areas. Dunn, the
largest Harnett County municipality, is the 88th largest in North Carolina and is about half the size
of the southern Wake County cities of Apex, Holly Springs, Garner, and Fuquay-Varina. The primary
focus for economic development, listed in the existing land use plan, is deve loping a community
product that is attractive to potential investors. Current resources in the county that provide
support and competitive advantage for economic growth in Harnett county include the presence
HCBOC 041123 ws Pg. 65
9
of interstate 95, Fort Bragg, and Campbell university, and an abundance of water sources.
Also, the County has a recently updated its Economic Development Plan and we would like to
include elements of that plan here.
e) Harnett County Jetport
A key component of Harnett county is its Regional Jetport. Including an airport overlay (intended
to promote compatible land uses in the vicinity of the airport by allowing land uses that will be
compatible with airport operations' noise and promote individuals' safety on the ground) is a target
goal of the future plan. An airport overlay will limit the density of land use (i.e., people) in the
vicinity of the airport. Benefits of the overlay include reduction of the impact of aircraft noise on
people, protection of people on the ground in the event of an aircraft accident, protection of pilots
from hazards, and limiting assemblies such as schools, churches, and apartments, as these are
places where people gather in high density and restricting the location of hazardous material to
protect both the users of the airport and the public. Failure to implement this overlay may create
hazards to air navigation, reductions in airport utility resulting from obstructions to flight paths,
and noise-related incompatible land use resulting from residential construction too close to the
airport.
f) Housing
Evaluate the real estate market conditions in selected, competitive locations in Harnett County to
understand how recent market trends, current economic conditions, and future growth affect
opportunities for new development in the area. The analysis will be considered a critical
component when testing overall market potentials that will inform and guide the study area's
long-term land use and zoning policies. The housing section of the report will analyze historic and
current building inventory, occupancy and vacancy levels, annual absorption (leasing) activity,
historical development trends, and other appropriate market indices for housing, workplace
(office and industrial), supporting commercial (retail) and lodging/hospitality uses based on
available data.
Affordable Housing: Affordable housing can be defined as housing in which the occupant pays no
more than 30 percent of gross income for housing costs. Furthermore, affordable housing should
address housing costs so that residual household income is available for food, medicine,
transportation, and other non-housing essentials, as well as improvement of family well-being
through access to employment and schools; and the development of secure social networks.
g) Parks & Natural Resources
Harnett County's natural resources and parks are among its most valuable assets. Farms and forests
contribute $300 million in value-added income annually. The Cape Fear River provides a source of
drinking water for the region. Combined with the Upper Little River, Raven Rock State Park, and
Anderson Creek Park forms a network of recreation opportunities and open spaces unparalleled to
the Triangle and Fort Bragg regions. Harnett county has an abundance of natural habitats (hosting 56
recognized or rare species) and water systems (precisely several headwater streams feeding into the
Cape Fear River, which provides drinking water). However, habitat fragmentation has been occurring
due to development and urbanization. Harnett County aims to protect its unique habitats by providing
active and passive recreational opportunities.
HCBOC 041123 ws Pg. 66
10
h) Growth Capacity
Harnett County is rapidly growing with large amounts of new development and population. As such,
Harnett County must prepare to have the capacity to meet the service demands of current residents,
future residents and new development. The population is projected to grow to approximately 174,361
residents by 2040, so it is imperative that goals, policies, and priorities be established to properly
accommodate the growing nature of the County. Furthermore, a Smart Growth Audit should be
performed to identify areas where there are smart growth principles. Finally, coordinated growth
planning should be introduced. The County should be evaluated as a whole for development
suitability based on existing infrastructure such as roads, school capacity, and utilities, then divided
into subareas accordingly. Growth Framework Maps, an Urban Services Area Map, and a Natural
Features Map should be produced to promote a comprehensive approach to growth in Harnett
County.
i) Regional/ Inter-Jurisdictional Coordination
Planning coordination between Harnett County and neighboring jurisdictions is essential for
establishing rational and cohesive development patterns. As the region continues to grow, the
opportunities for inter-jurisdictional cooperation increase, and the cooperation between jurisdictions
becomes more valuable. The new comprehensive plan should incorporate regional planning policies
to address shared priorities, potential impacts, and opportunities that transcend jurisdictional lines.
Harnett County will increase collaboration with nearby jurisdictions and agencies, including the five
municipalities located within the County -- the towns of Lillington, Coats, Angier, and Erwin, and the
City of Dunn; the bordering Town of Fuquay-Varina in south Wake County; Fort Bragg (to be renamed
Fort Liberty), and the regional planning agencies CAMPO, FAMPO, and the Mid Carolina RPO.
Develop regulatory standards in order to support municipal annexatio n based on existing
municipal utility capacity and urban service areas. The standards should be used to generate
development framework categories and identify areas appropriate for municipal development
on a development framework map.
Develop coordination policies for transportation improvements such as interconnectivity for
greenways, side paths, and roadways as growth spurs new improvements; multi-modal
transportation to decrease travel time, congestion, and automobile dependency.
5.3 Plan Implementation and Strategies
Establish a project timeline that includes benchmarks or milestones for measuring the progression of the
planning process. Develop performance measures for the strategic action plan to measure the effectiveness
of implementation activities and programs for each component.
5.4 Final Comprehensive Land Use Plan Deliverables
At a minimum, for the entire Comprehensive Growth Plan, the following deliverables shall be produced:
A Comprehensive Growth Plan and Executive Summary in written and electronic form as well as a
corresponding presentation to stakeholders.
An action plan with strategic goals and objectives, recommended implementation steps.
HCBOC 041123 ws Pg. 67
11
A comprehensive and detailed activity report covering the consultant’s completed work output for all
items listed above;
A final report to be formally presented to the County Commissioners and other stakeholders groups.
A Future Land Use map and applicable GIS files.
Deliverables shall be submitted in written, amendable, ele ctronic format as used by the County and a
minimum of ten hard copies.
6.0 Conditions and Limitations
Equal Employment Opportunity
All firms will be required to follow Federal Equal Employment Opportunity (EEO) policies. Harnett County will
affirmatively assure that on any project constructed pursuant to this advertisement, equal employment
opportunity will be offered to all persons without regard to race, color, creed, religion, natural origin, sex, and
marital status, status with regard to public assistance, membership or activity in a local commission, disability,
sexual orientation, or age.
Minority and Small Business Participation Plan
It is the policy of Harnett County that Minority and Women Owned Businesses (MBEs) and other small
businesses shall have the opportunity to compete fairly in contracts financed in whole or in part with public

HARNETT COUNTY | COMPREHENSIVE LAND USE PLAN UPDATESTEWART 5
01PROJECT APPROACH
PROJECT UNDERSTANDING
We understand that a strategic update of the Comprehensive Growth Plan can help guide Harnett County into its
next phase of development while building on its roots that have created a strong, prosperous community.
Harnett County is unique in that in combines rural beauty and aff ordable living, with proximity to urban areas and an optimal
climate for business and industry. Recent growth trends have brought the county from a population of 68,000 in 1990 to
approximately 144,000 in 2023. State projections indicate growth trends will continue until 2050. Indeed population projections
for 2050 top 200,000 people. This rapid growth brings a need to refi ne strategies for growth management, provision of
infrastructure and services and economic development.
A forward thinking growth plan is needed to address emerging issues, update development policies and develop smart ways
to accommodate growth while preserving overall quality of life for residents. As cost of living continues to rise in Wake County
and available land decreases, it is to be expected that growth trends will continue in surrounding counties. This plan needs to
address how and where to accommodate growth. While many parts of Harnett County have established a deep history and a
defi ned community character, we must now identify “What does Harnett County look like in the future?”, “How do we protect local
resources and assets?” and “How do we adapt to best serve your residents and businesses?”.
The County’s ideal location along Highway 87, US 421, US 401 and I-95 allows for accessibility to major economic hubs in
Raleigh and Fayetteville. The Harnett County Jetport and utility system are also signifi cant assets that need to be enhanced and
protected. More local jobs, businesses and in-county spending are long-term economic goals that need to addressed in the time
horizon of this update of the Comprehensive Growth Plan. In addition, development and housing policies should be adjusted to
refi ne the target housing market and better balance housing demand and future costs of services.
Overall this plan update provides a chance to continue the captivating story of Harnett County and write the next chapter of
how this community with deep agricultural roots will embrace new growth and development to become a desired location for
residents, business and industry.
In order to develop this plan, the Stewart team will review and analyze the 2015 Grow Harnett County Comprehensive Plan and
the 2023 Strategic Goals, and conduct in-depth public engagement to facilitate a community conversation in order to gauge the
needs of residents, staff and stakeholders. Our team will work closely with staff and offi cials to address priorities and update the
policy framework that chart a course for the next 5-10 years.
The next section of this approach will detail our specifi c methods of addressing Land Use, Transportation/Mobility, Public Utilities
& Infrastructure, Economic Development Strategies, Harnett County Jetport, Housing, Parks & Natural Resources, Growth
Capacity, and Regional/Inter-Jurisdictional Coordination in the Growth Plan Update.

HARNETT COUNTY | COMPREHENSIVE LAND USE PLAN UPDATESTEWART 6
PROJECT APPROACH
PHASE I - PROJECT INITIATION & ANALYSIS
Prior to beginning the planning process, our team will
meet with staff to refi ne the work plan, milestones,
deliverables, community engagement process, schedule,
and communication methods. The team will work with staff
to identify and assemble relevant background documents
for review. Spatial data and adopted plans will be collected
from the County, State, and regional and federal agencies as
appropriate. Assessments of past planning eff orts and the
existing regulatory framework will be vital to understanding
challenges, opportunities, and recent successes. This
information will also be useful later in the process when
crafting a feasible approach to implementation.
To initiate the planning process, the Stewart team will
conduct an initial round of meetings with staff , the Steering
Committee, and stakeholders to help identify key issues
Stewart’s Planning practice has experience working in Harnett
County and several other local governments in the region. The
Stewart team will facilitate the creation of a well-organized,
user-friendly plan guided by community engagement and
input. We will accomplish this by executing a three-phase
project scope that can be customized to meet the County’s
expectations.
PHASE I - PROJECT INITIATION & ANALYSISPHASE II - VISIONING & PLAN DEVELOPMENTPHASE III - IMPLEMENTATION & ADOPTION
Communication is a key part of any successful planning
project. Throughout this project, our team will hold bi-weekly
coordination calls with county staff . Our team will work
together with Harnett County staff in all facets of the project
including identifi cation of stakeholders, data analysis and
mapping, and the creation of policies and implementation
strategies that are actionable, attainable, and tied to
responsible parties and budgetary implications.
Community engagement is an ongoing, collaborative process
between the consultant team and the staff and citizens of
Harnett County. Ultimately, a successful public process
enhances community support and buy-in and bolsters the
confi dence of County leaders to implement future projects
and prioritize resources. The Stewart team will support the
county’s eff orts to involve residents, business owners, and
other stakeholders using engaging and transparent methods
to ensure all are aware of the land use plan project and
are given multiple opportunities to ask questions, voice
preferences and priorities, and be part of the process.
Our approach begins with refi ning the community engagement
process during the project kickoff in conjunction with staff .
Visual branding of the project will be refl ected in outreach
materials and a specially created website or web page on
the County website to raise awareness of the process and
garner excitement throughout the community. Our team will
assist with the formation of a diverse and balanced Steering
Committee and stakeholder groups.
Updated recommendations for the plan topic areas, including
land use, mobility, infrastructure, economic development,
jetport, housing, parks & natural resources, public services,
and regional coordination will be drafted based on feedback
from staff , the steering committee and elected offi cials.
Actionable items to be completed within the next 3 to 5 years
will be crafted and collected in the implementation plan.

to be addressed in the Comprehensive Growth Plan and
to understand expectations. The meetings will include the
following:
▪Kick-off Meeting & Community Tour
▪Stakeholder Interviews
▪Steering Committee Meeting
Public Participation Plan
As part of this project, a public participation & engagement
plan will be created. A minimum of three public work sessions
are anticipated with this project: two to gather early input
and a third single meeting to present the results. One
meeting will focus on wildlife and environmental concerns. It
is also anticipated up to two info booths will be organized at
community events or programs to garner input.
Community Profi le
During this phase, Stewart will prepare a Community Profi le
(CP), incorporating updated statistics and fi ndings from
recent County eff orts. The CP will include the County history,
baseline demographic and economic data (population,
employment, income, socioeconomic data, retail trends, etc).
We will use data from Harnett County, US Census Bureau,
State of North Carolina, ESRI and other available sources.
Information collected regarding the economy, business
patterns, employment and demographics will provide insight
into potential issues and opportunities. The data will be
studied to benchmark progress and provide context to policy
recommendations developed later in the process.
Community Survey
The team will work closely with County staff to develop
a Community Survey to gather feedback from the public
regarding community vision, goals, and key issues to be
addressed by plan policies, future regulatory eff orts, and
priority investments. The survey may include a visual
preference survey that provides images of a variety of
diff erent development types or elements. The Community
Survey can be made available on-line, in print form, and as a
component of a public meeting. Optionally, the Project Team
could work with a third-party provider (e.g. PublicInput.com)
to create an interactive website and survey that could include
a community forum and/or map-based activities to identify
land use preferences.
PHASE II - VISIONING & PLAN DEVELOPMENT
Community Visioning
We believe that a concentrated eff ort focused on community
visioning and concept development will build excitement and
create momentum. Following the completion of Phase 1,
key team members will conduct two public workshop(s) that
will focus developing priorities and understanding issues in
diff erent areas of county.
Workshops will focus on issues, opportunities, visioning and
recommendations, concepts, and action items. Based on
the public input received, we will prepare draft vision and
goals as well as a framework for recommendations in the
Comprehensive Growth Plan.
Land Use & Housing
The Stewart team will conduct a detailed analysis of issues
and opportunities in various portions of the County. Residential
growth areas, redevelopment and commercial opportunities,
transportation corridors, economic development opportunities,
and conservation priorities will be studied.
Capacity & Land Use Suitability
We will conduct analysis of existing land use and land supply
to understand capacity for growth in key areas of the county.
It is anticipated that data related to recently approved
development will be compiled and used to inform the land
use and capacity study. A suitability analysis will determine
areas most suitable for diff erent types of development based
on a variety of inputs. It is anticipated that suitability maps
will be created for residential, commercial, industrial and
conservation/open space. Exact land use types and inputs will
be determined based on consultation with county staff . Typical
inputs include proximity to existing and proposed roadways
and utility infrastructure; proximity to schools, parks, and
commercial areas; adjacent land uses; and understanding of
existing land use patterns and environmental constraints. This
task will also include a Smart Growth Audit that will identify
areas where growth could be accommodated based on smart
growth principles.
The suitability analysis, Smart Growth Audit and input from
public meetings will utilized by the Steering Committee,
county staff , and the consultant team to inform future
land use preferences including use-mix, scale, and design
character. Deliverables for this task will be utilized to
formulate the future land use map and associated character
area recommendations.

HARNETT COUNTY | COMPREHENSIVE LAND USE PLAN UPDATESTEWART 8
Future Land Use
The project team will provide guidance on the future land
use recommendations for diff erent areas of the county. A
growth framework map will be developed and revised to
update the adopted Future Land Use Map. This will be a
graphic representation of the County’s vision as to where
growth should occur as well as how agricultural and natural
resources can be protected from development. The map
will be supplemented with descriptions of land use character
areas that will be brought to life using precedent imagery
and/or conceptual diagrams that specify intended use mix,
scale, density, and other physical design characteristics.
Development of the Future Land Use Map and associated
character areas will be guided and informed by local goals,
technical analysis, staff , and Steering Committee perspective.
Ultimately, these character areas might be used to update
existing development ordinances, overlay districts or achieve
other economic or conservation goals. Regional and national
best practices will be reviewed and recommendations will
provide guidance for future updates to the county’s land use
and development regulations.
Housing
This element of the plan will include an analysis of historic
and current development trends, occupancy and vacancy
levels, absorption and other market indicators. Specifi c
recommendations will build off of the Future Land Use Map
and be tailored to take advantage of market opportunities
for housing for all levels of income. Included in this may
be recommendations that allow for more aff ordable and/or
workforce housing in defi ned areas through targeted code
updates, incentives or partnerships.
Transportation
Harnett County has witnessed high levels of population
growth in the last few decades, with more growth expected
in the future. While the county’s Comprehensive Growth
Plan and more recent regional eff orts have attempted to
address infrastructure improvements needed to accommodate
this growth, many eff orts are dated or focused on regional
mobility only. Harnett County needs to identify local priorities
for targeted transportation network improvements to
accommodate additional travel demand. Priority intersection
improvements, widenings and collector level roadways need
to be identifi ed and referenced in the plan. Priorities should be
informed by analyzing existing travel demand and taking into
account recent trends in development to identify hot spots
that may not be showing up in the latest regional travel model
runs due to outdated socio-economic forecasts.
Analyzing key greenway, bicycle and pedestrian connections
will also be part of this task. Context-specifi c cross-sections
may be needed for key streets. The recently adopted
greenway plan will also be consulted.
Coordination with DOT and regional transportation planning
organizations will be necessary during this task. LJB staff
and key staff from Stewart have collaborated on county level
transportation planning eff orts in the past with success (NW
Harnett County Area Plan, Southwest Bypass Land Use Plan).
Public Infrastructure
Our analysis and recommendations will address constraints as
it relates to potential growth in Harnett County. A framework
for public and privately funded infrastructure improvements
needs to be updated regularly to ensure that it is in line with
the type of growth that is envisioned as part of the land use
element of the plan. This element of the plan will include a
summary of service areas and agreements, current facilities,
planned facilities, and issues and trends. The team will
develop a map of easily served catchments (subsets of sub-
watersheds) using a digital elevation model (DEM) and
A future land use map that shows diff erent character areas
and describes allowable land uses, density, and other
design characteristics can communicate public priorities
and provide policy guidance.
“I would like to take this opportunity to recommend an
outstanding group at Stewart. We are working through
our Land Development Update, a complete overhaul
of what we have ever done before. Stewart has dug in
and made this process work with our small staff and
hurdles we could have never expected. They have just
made this process be whatever it needs to be in order
to be successful. Stewart has worked well with staff
and really made sure our plan and process feel like
Alamance County and not just a cookie-cutter plan. We
couldn’t have picked a better group to drive home this
new way of thinking we are in and the leaps and bounds
we are trying to go to help Alamance County step into
the future and do things that have never been done here
before. We believe this project has been a success from
the personal touch and true dedication of the Stewart
team.”

ArcHydro tools in ArcGIS. This map will be utilized during
conversations with Harnett Regional Water and to make land
use recommendations. This analysis will also be utilized to
create an Urban Services Area Map.
Economic Development
Economic development and coordination with public
investment is critical to the future fi scal health of Harnett
County. The Stewart team will incorporate key strategies from
the recently adopted Economic Development Plan into the
Comprehensive Growth Plan. Additional recommendations
may address land use regulations, new public investments,
public/private partnerships, incentives, and organizational
strategies.
Harnett County Jetport
The Stewart team will coordinate with county and airport staff
to develop recommendations for land use regulations in the
vicinity of the Harnett County Jetport. Recommendations could
include an overlay that includes design standards and list of
permitted uses, those permitted with additional standards or
those that require a special use permit.
Parks & Natural Resources
Open space, recreation facilities and natural resources are
important not only to residents and visitors but also the
economic competitiveness of the county. This element of
the Plan will focus on how the County can meet its current
and future recreation and open space needs. In addition,
we will provide guidance on how the County can protect
sensitive areas and promote recreational opportunities that
could facilitate economic development. We will coordinate
with County staff to obtain GIS mapping of existing facilities,
information on park level-of-service and maintenance needs,
priority park improvements, greenway corridors, regional park
locations, interconnection opportunities, and strategic open
space priorities.
The team will ensure consistency between adopted plans and
implementation steps. The plan will include recommendations
on how to improve resiliency and address the need for land
use policies to include open space preservation.
Stewart team members are very familiar with Harnett County. Our team knows fi rst hand the County’s character
and charm.

and context-sensitive redevelopment around major airport
facilities. The graphic above, from the Harvey Parkway
Area Plan shows facility expansion and investment around

Regional and Inter-Jurisdictional Coordination
The Stewart team will assist County staff in developing
recommendations on how to increase collaboration with
nearby jurisdictions and agencies. Recommendations could
include policies related to annexation, utility service and
transportation improvements. Focus group meetings with
regional planning agencies and the fi ve municipalities are
included in this task.
Plan Development
The project team will prepare and submit the draft
Comprehensive Growth Plan (to be delivered in batches of
chapters for ease of review) to County staff and the Steering
Committee. Upon completion of the review, the draft
document will be posted on the County website for public
comment. County staff and the Stewart team will also conduct
a community open house to reveal the full plan. All comments
received from staff , the Steering Committee, and the public
will be cataloged, and responses made.
This careful tracking of comments will allow our team to
identify common themes in feedback/comments for discussion
with staff and elected/appointed offi cials during the review and
public hearing and adoption process. The draft document will
be revised and amended as appropriate.
PHASE III - IMPLEMENTATION & ADOPTION
Implementation
After the plan is in draft format, the Stewart team will
conduct a work-session with planning staff and other County
departments to discuss strategic goals, capital resources,
and implementation steps. Potential amendments to existing
development regulations and other design standards
recommended during the Plan process may also be discussed.
An Action Plan may be prepared noting time frame,
prioritization, and projected cost of each recommended action
and will be used to inform the County’s budgeting activities.
Plan Adoption
Plan adoption will be a collaboration between County staff and
the Stewart Team to work through the Comprehensive Growth
Plan adoption process. Key members of the Stewart team will
be available to attend a Planning Board meeting to present
the Draft Plan. We will also attend one County Commissioners
meeting to provide a plan status update and one meeting
to present the fi nal version of the plan recommended for
adoption.
Final Plan Document & Executive Summary
Following the public hearing process, a fi nal set of plan
documents will be provided to the County including plan
document, executive summary, appendices, maps and map
data, public engagement summaries, etc. The plan and key
deliverables will be provided in editable, electronic format. A
minimum of ten hard copies will also be provided. Project Initiation & AnalysysExisting Plan and

Town of Smithfi eld Growth Management Plan | Smithfi eld, NC
Project Planner | Stewart facilitated the creation of a new Comprehensive Growth
Management Plan for the Town of Smithfi eld. The development of the plan included a
visioning process with innovative outreach activities like pop-up meetings at festivals,
district conversations with residents, and an interactive, advanced, custom survey
platform website. The plan includes a housing and economic analysis, land use suitability
analysis, downtown revitalization strategies, conceptual designs, and a focus on tying
together land use and infrastructure recommendations and investment decisions. A
custom GIS-based CommunityViz model was created to assist in the development of land
use recommendations. A build-out model allowed the quantifi cation of the residential
and non-residential carrying capacity of land within the study area. Existing zoning was
compared with alternative future land use policies to understand the economic, fi scal, and
environmental impacts.
Granville County Comprehensive Plan | Granville County, NC
Senior Planner | Stewart was selected to prepare the Granville County Comprehensive
Plan that addresses and determines the community’s priorities and addresses anticipated
growth in ways that preserve the community character, foster economic development,

Town of Knightdale ADA Transition Plan | Knightdale, NC
Principal-in-Charge | The Stewart team worked with the Town of Knightdale to inventory
the condition of facilities throughout the Town and evaluate ADA transitions. After
conducting an evaluation of physical barriers to access of Town programs, our team
coordinated with the workgroup and the Town staff to perform facility assessments, and
developed the transition plan from the self-evaluation and facilities inventory.
Town of Swansboro ADA Transition Plan | Swansboro, NC
Principal-in-Charge | For the Town of Swansboro, the Stewart team conducted ADA
evaluations of public rights-of-way and public buildings. We also collected public input
about existing conditions and trained Town staff to conduct future assessments. Our work
included the development of cost estimates of recommended improvements, and project
prioritization and implementation strategies to assist the Town in proceeding with repairs.
Cary Parkway/High House Road Intersection Improvements | Cary, NC
Project Manager | This Town of Cary project includes roadway, traffic signal, and landscape design for the proposed
improvements at the intersection of Cary Parkway (SR 3977) and High House Road (SR 1615). The Town is providing
additional left-turn lanes and new right-turn lanes while maintaining the overall aesthetic appeal of the intersection. The
Town has developed a preliminary intersection visualization design. It is the intent of the project to respect the character of
the intersection while allowing for the widened roadway.
Estes Drive Bicycle & Pedestrian Improvements | Chapel Hill, NC
Principal-in-Charge | Stewart was selected for the Estes Drive corridor improvement project between Martin Luther King Jr.
Boulevard and Caswell Road, a vital link in the Town’s transportation network. The proposed complete street improvements will
not only create a safe transportation corridor for all users, but will also help drive future walkable development. Early in the
project, Stewart led the town through an alternatives analysis to gain public feedback on potential options and select the best
design for the corridor. In addition to design, Stewart is overseeing utility coordination, right-of-way acquisition, planting plans
and fostering the project through design approval. Complex federal funding contributed to the challenges with this project.
Key to success were coordination and negotiation with UNC Chapel Hill, Chapel Hill-Carrboro City Schools, NCDOT as well as
individual property owners to acquire right-of-way along the corridor. The project was advertised and awarded for construction
in June. Stewart will provide construction assistance to see the project through to completion.

PLANNING EXPERIENCE IN HARNETT COUNTY
STEWART has a long history of community planning
projects with Harnett County and the municipalities
within the county. In fact, our fi rst ever municipal
planning client was the Town of Lillington. Our team
has a vested interest in the growth and development
in Harnett County and is excited to work with you
to ensure the Comprehensive Plan positions the
County for anticipated growth and future economic
development, while preserving it’s unique character.
Lee Anne Nance, President and Chief Operations
Offi cer, served as Director of Economic Development
in Harnett County for eight years. Her knowledge will
serve as an invaluable resource for our planning team.
Chad Sary, Executive Vice President of Growth
and Strategy, previously served as Practice Leader

the needs of Harnett County. The adjacent images are
a selection of planning work which Stewart has provided
in Harnett County, while the following pages will display
our experience in comprehensive and land use plans for
local governments across the state.
The plan outlined priority transportation improvements, collector
street connections and modernized development standards in
the area to balance environmental preservation and economic
development.
NW Harnett County Small Area Plan
Adopted in 2022, the plan focus is a new Future Land Use Map
and accompanying character areas. Additional areas of focus
include infrastructure, natural resources, parks, recreation, and
transportation.
Dunn Land Use Plan
Stewart serves as an extension of Town staff and a resource pro-
viding services such as general planning & zoning administration,
fl ood damage prevention administration, research and special land
use studies, rezoning, grant writing and more.
Lillington On-Call Planning
Due to the anticipated growth along US Highway 421, Harnett
County engaged Stewart to provide a land use study &
analysis of the 13-mile corridor from the Town of Lillington to
the City of Dunn. The result was an inventory of the existing
institutional, industrial, and commercial land uses and the
drafting of zoning map and UDO amendments to support
future desired land uses and their building and site design.

03QUALIFICATIONS AND EXPERIENCE
PROJECT OVERVIEW
Warren County is located in the northeastern Piedmont region of North Carolina. While
remaining a rural county, signifi cant growth is occurring along the southern portion of
the county and in the north near Lake Gaston. Warren County chose Stewart to
prepare a new Comprehensive Development Plan to guide the county in land use
decisions into the next two decades. The existing Comprehensive Land Use Plan
(Warren County-2002) was adopted in 2002 with few updates since. There have been
signifi cant changes to the area since then, including the implementation of countywide
zoning in 2019.
STEWART RESPONSIBILITIES
Stewart was hired to prepare a Comprehensive Development Plan that is forward
thinking and in alignment with the County’s values and strategic goals; it addresses
anticipated growth in a way that preserves community character, takes a community-minded and strategic approach to
economic development, and infrastructure. The Comprehensive Development Plan is both functional and intentional and
provides tools for the County to make strategic investments and plan for the next twenty years with implementation broken
down by short-, intermediate-, and long-term strategies.
J EXPERIENCE TO BE APPLIED TO HARNETT COUNTY
Utilizing best practices related to land use planning and development design, the plan included detailed recommendations for
modernizing the county’s zoning ordinance in order to address priorities expressed by citizens and elected offi cials during the
process. These priorities included fi ne tuning residential districts and supplemental requirements for commercial and mixed-
use projects near Lake Gaston. The plan also documented parks and recreation priorities and included a updated greenway
plan for the county.

PROJECT OVERVIEW
Stewart was engaged by Pitt County (in conjunction with Greenville, Ayden, Winterville,
and NCDOT) to prepare the Southwest Bypass Corridor Land Use Plan. Pitt County and
the surrounding area is experiencing growth in anticipation of completion of the
Southwest Bypass. The bypass will improve mobility and alleviate congestion but also
presents challenges. Existing land use policy and regulations did not address the type,
scale, and design of non-residential uses typically associated with a transportation
facility of the magnitude of the bypass. The intent of the plan is to help local
governments take advantage of development opportunities along the corridor, while
ensuring that future development is managed appropriately and is compatible with
existing communities and long term plans for growth in the County and partner
municipalities.
STEWART RESPONSIBILITIES
The planning eff ort included a scenario planning exercise to determine impacts of
diff erent land use policies. Stewart created a custom GIS-based forecasting model
created using ArcGIS and CommunityViz to provide build-out forecasts for the eff ort.
The preferred scenario will be used as the future land use plan for the county and will
inform infrastructure and land use decisions for partner municipalities as well.
Policy recommendations related to land use, economic development, aesthetics and
user experience, natural resources and open space, infrastructure and transportation
were developed to help guide growth and development along the corridor for years
to come. Key transportation recommendations included access management policy
recommendations, collector street connections and intersection improvements.
J EXPERIENCE TO BE APPLIED TO HARNETT COUNTY
This plan included many key team members that will be working on the Harnett County Comprehensive Land Use Plan. The
integrated approach to land use and transportation recommendations that was used will also be needed for Harnett County.

PROJECT OVERVIEW
Stewart was engaged by Granville County to prepare a Comprehensive Plan that
addresses the county’s priorities and anticipated growth in ways that preserve the
community character, foster economic development, and recognize the County’s natural
assets. The population of Granville County is estimated at 59,000, and is approximately
536 square miles in size with five municipalities: Butner, Creedmoor, Oxford, Stem, and
Stovall. The County is located in the Kerr Tar and Triangle region of North Carolina, and
is adjacent to two metropolitan centers, Raleigh and Durham.
STEWART RESPONSIBILITIES
The work program included a signifi cant level of community involvement consisting of
pop up meetings, workshops, social media, community preference surveys and the use
of both steering committee and stakeholder groups.
As part of the project, Stewart analyzed land use suitability, transportation corridors,
water and sewer capacity, and utilized CommunityViz to help the County understand
implications of diff erent land use scenarios and capacity for growth. This modeling
provided an insight into the impacts that land use policies can have on neighborhoods,
the economy, infrastructure and the environment. The plan identifi ed commercial,
mixed use and employment opportunities, clarifi ed density and design expectations in
residential growth areas and included recommendations to maintain agricultural lands.

HARNETT COUNTY | COMPREHENSIVE LAND USE PLAN UPDATESTEWART 25
PROJECT OVERVIEW
The 2045 Henderson County Comprehensive Plan is a tool used for guiding the growth,
redevelopment, and overall improvement of the county. The plan will serve as the
offi cial statement by Henderson County of its vision, intentions, goals, objectives, and
strategies for future land use, economic development, environmental preservation,
housing, parks and recreation, and more.
The Plan will update the County’s future land use map and address new issues and
priorities. It will also address several topics including balancing housing growth and
preservation of agriculture, planning strategically for infrastructure and economic
development, and protecting key natural resources.
STEWART RESPONSIBILITIES
Stewart provided project management, public involvement, land use, natural resources,
and infrastructure planning. Henderson County is experiencing signifi cant growth pressure
from retirees, second home buyers and residents looking to locate near local jobs and in
proximity to Asheville. Accommodating this growth while preserving land for economic
development and agriculture is one of the central challenges of the next decade for the
county. The 2045 Comprehensive Plan will outline strategies to balance growth
through intentional land use policies and targeted code updates. It will also lay the

03QUALIFICATIONS AND EXPERIENCE
PROJECT OVERVIEW
Stewart worked on a new Comprehensive Growth Management Plan for the Town of
Smithfi eld. Smithfi eld is the county seat and located about 30 minutes from the regional
economic engine of Raleigh. Towns like these have particular assets and challenges that
are relatively unique.
STEWART RESPONSIBILITIES
The Comprehensive Growth Management Plan included a visioning process with
innovative outreach activities like popup meetings at festivals, district conversations,
and an interactive publicinput.com website. The plan included a housing and economic
analysis, land use suitability analysis, downtown revitalization strategies, conceptual
designs, and a focus on tying together land use and infrastructure recommendations,
and investment decisions.
Form-based recommendations were illustrated in conceptual designs for suburban
retrofi t sites along key commercial corridors. Downtown and subdivision design
recommendations were created to improve the quality of development while providing
fl exibility for innovative design.
J EXPERIENCE TO BE APPLIED TO HARNETT COUNTY
Development design, use mix and intensity along key corridors needs to be a specifi c
part of the Harnett County Comprehensive Land Use Plan.

MEETING DATE: April 17, 2023
TO: HARNETT COUNTY BOARD OF COMMISSIONERS
SUBJECT: CloudWyze Broadband Agreement Amendment of SOW
REQUESTED BY: Ira Hall, Chief Information Officer
REQUEST:
CloudWyze has requested a change to the phase 1 statement of work. With the
expansion of CloudWyze fiber throughout the county the cost of water towers with
equipment installed does not make sense. CloudWyze fiber in the Town of Erwin has
made further fixed wireless expansion on commercial tower inefficient use of funds.
CloudWyze is requesting the allocation of the last $200,000 funding from the county to
be allotted to a fiber build between MCNC fiber backbone and the Oakridge tower and
remove the expansion of any further wireless towers. This will provide a redundant
route to another core tier 1 provider for bandwidth and enable residents along the fiber
path to gain access to broadband.
